Naz Reid Gets Honest About Future Plans With Wolves

Sixth Man of the Year Naz Reid has made clear that he intends to opt out of his player option for the 2025-26 season as he eyes a lucrative extension in Minnesota. Sources say the 25-year-old forward is targeting a deal in the neighborhood of $30 million annually, a figure the Timberwolves brass seems prepared to meet given Reid’s vital bench production and versatile inside scoring.

The reason for Reid’s contract renewal is based on a league-wide movement focused on roster depth that helped lead Minnesota back to the Western Conference Finals for a second consecutive season. Reid will turn his attention to the offseason and has identified consistency and leadership as his two areas of improvement.

“Probably just be a little more consistent in some categories. I think off the court, probably learn how to be a leader for the younger guys. I kinda did that this season, but I just lead by example as well,” Reid said when the Timberwolves got back to Minnesota after the Conference Finals.

During the 2024-2025 season, Naz Reid averaged 14.2 points per game, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. He shot at 456.2% from the field, and 37.9% from beyond the arc.
