Minneapolis-St. Paul – Minnesota Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas announced the team has acquired guard Allen Crabbe from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for guards Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham.
Crabbe, 27, has appeared in 372 regular season games (113 starts) in parts of seven NBA seasons with Atlanta, Brooklyn and Portland, posting career averages of 9.2 points and 2.9 rebounds in 24.2 minutes per game. The 6-5 guard/forward played in 28 games with the Hawks this season, averaging 5.1 points and 2.3 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game.
