Naz Reid has secured a five-year, $125 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, solidifying his status as one of the NBA's premier bench players. Averaging 25 million annually, Reid's deal aligns him financially with stars like Draymond Green. His impressive stats, including a career-high 14.5 points per game during the 2024-2025 season, showcase his vital role in the Timberwolves' playoff run. With a three-point shooting percentage above 33% over the last five seasons, Reid's scoring ability and efficiency have made him a fan favorite in Minnesota.
Reid was awarded the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year for the 2023-2024 season, and his decision to opt out of his player option to secure this lucrative deal reflects his value to the franchise. The Timberwolves expressed confidence in retaining him, and this contract confirms their commitment to building around his skill set.
