The Minnesota Timberwolves have finalized their roster to begin the 2025-26 NBA season.
And in doing so, they made a key decision on Johnny Juzang.
The preseason star has officially made the team.
The Timberwolves announced that Juzang has signed a two-way deal with the Timberwolves.
Juzang averaged 13.8 points per game in just 17.6 minutes per night in the preseason while grabbing 4.2 rebounds per night. He shot 50% from the floor, 48.3% from 3 and 83.3% from the line to put up that scoring.

The 24-year old was once a third-team All-American, but he hasn't yet found his permanent NBA home.
Last season, Juzang played for the Utah Jazz, where he put up 8.9 points per game.
Over the last two seasons, Juzang has made more than 38% of his 3-point shots.
"It's felt like for a while now that Johnny Juzang could be a guy that eventually found the right spot and was a multi-year bench shooter for a team," wrote Spotrac's Keith Smith on X. "Maybe that's now with the Wolves? Sometimes shooters take a few years to figure it out, then they're on rosters for several years."
The Timberwolves' most talented bench scorers are young. Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. are both entering their second year in the NBA.
Juzang adds a bit more experience to the mix.
And the Timberwolves love encouraging their guys to let it fly from deep. Juzang won't need much nudging to start chucking.
He could be a key piece to the Timberwolves' long-term chances as they get a new season underway.
