Tensions are rising within the Minnesota Timberwolves organization as players are calling for the release of shooting guard Jaylen Clark due to his prolonged inactivity.
Clark, 22, was drafted by the Timberwolves in the 2022 NBA draft but has struggled to find playing time, appearing in only a handful of games this season.
Frustrated teammates expressed concerns about Clark’s lack of contribution to the team, citing his limited minutes and lack of impact on the court.
“We need players who can contribute now, not just potential,” said Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves’ star shooting guard.
Coach Chris Finch echoed Edwards’ sentiments, stating, “We’re exploring options to optimize our roster.
The Timberwolves’ front office is reportedly considering buying out Clark’s contract or trading him to another team.
Clark’s agent released a statement saying, “Jaylen is eager to play and contribute to a team.
Rumors link Clark to several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls.
As the NBA trade deadline approaches, the Timberwolves’ decision on Clark’s future will significantly impact their playoff push.
