Jaylen Clark Stays With Timberwolves

Jaylen Clark is locking in for the long haul, signing a three-year, $10M deal to stay with the Timberwolves through 2029. Drafted 53rd in 2023 after recovering from a major knee injury, Clark has turned into a defensive anchor — opponents shot just 43.3% when he guarded them last season, dropping to 41.2% in the playoffs. Though his minutes dipped with new additions, his size and hustle could make him vital in new lineup setups. With Coach Finch needing reliable perimeter defenders and potential fit alongside LaMelo Ball, Clark’s ceiling hinges on improving his three-point shot — but for now, he’s a solid, unsung contributor who’s earned his place in Minnesota.
