Timberwolves GM Discusses Cody Williams and Team Updates

Timberwolves general manager Matt Lloyd recently spoke with Darren Wolfson from 5 Eyewitness News about various topics, including the acquisition of forward Cody Williams from Utah. This trade, made last weekend, has provided the team with increased financial flexibility, allowing them to officially sign Jonathan Kuminga.

Lloyd highlighted Williams' performance at the end of the 2025/26 season as a key factor in the team's interest in him. The general manager expressed optimism that the 21-year-old could serve as a versatile defender on the wing and mentioned that the team will assess his fit during training camp.

Lloyd noted that Williams was selected as the 10th pick in the draft for a reason and indicated that the team will begin evaluating his role starting Tuesday when most players are expected to report to Minnesota, leading into the preseason.
