The Minnesota Timberwolves released forward James Nunnally. With his release, their roster now stands at 16 players.

The 28-year-old San Jose, California native played 13 games with the Wolves this season after not playing in the Association the past four years. His release came hours after Minnesota fired head coach Tom Thibodeau following Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

He averaged 2.1 points, 0.3 rebounds, 0.4 assists, and 0.1 steals in 4.9 minutes per game.

He did not play in Sunday’s game against the Lakers. He last suited up for the Wolves against the Orlando Magic on January 4th.

He received two minutes and 31 seconds on the court. However, he did not register a statistic. The last time, Nunnally scored in a game was on December 21st when the Wolves were defeated by the Sacramento Kings. He had six points in four minutes and 19 seconds on the court.

The six points were the second-most points he had in a game this season. He had a season-high 9 points when the Wolves were defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks on October 26th, 2018.
