The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team has signed unrestricted free-agent forward/guard Josh Howard. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. Howard's signing brings the Wolves' roster to 15 players.
"We're pleased to add a proven veteran in Josh Howard to our team," said David Kahn, Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations. "Josh has been a productive player in our league for nine years and will add to our depth at the wing position."
Howard, 32, joins the Wolves with career averages of 14.5 points and 5.7 rebounds in parts of nine NBA seasons with three different teams (Dallas, Washington and Utah). Most recently he spent the 2011-12 season with Utah where he averaged 8.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in 43 games, 18 starts. His best season came in 2007-08 when he averaged 19.9 points and 7.0 rebounds per game en route to making his lone All-Star Game appearance.
Howard will wear No. 5 and is expected to be in uniform tonight when the Wolves take on the Golden State Warriors at Target Center.
