Since joining the rotation in January, Jaylen Clark has carved out a role with the team as a defensive specialist — and now he’s been promoted to an NBA contract
But he has emerged on the other end with an NBA contract.
The Wolves played the Thunder in three of their last four games, and in each game Clark handled the responsibility of guarding potential MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Wolves won two of those games. In the other on Sunday, Clark was a plus-20 before he had to leave the game because of a neck injury. He was able to return to the lineup Monday in Oklahoma City.
Hyland, 24, now reunites with the person who drafted him, Wolves President Tim Connelly.
When Connelly was in Denver, he drafted Hyland 26th overall in the 2021 draft. He has averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists. He shoots 40% for his career overall, 36% from three-point range. The Nuggets dealt him to the Clippers in 2023, where he spent parts of the last three seasons. Hyland averaged 7.2 points in 20 games this season before the Clippers dealt him to Atlanta at the trade deadline. The Hawks then waived him.
