Two-Way Player Jules Bernard Waived By Timberwolves

The Timberwolves have waived two-way guard Jules Bernard, the team announced in a press release. The 26-year-old just signed with Minnesota on Wednesday.

Bernard has spent the season with the Wolves’ G League affiliate in Iowa, averaging 22.6 points on 42.5% shooting, including 34.6% from three-point range, and 80.4% from the free throw line. He’s also contributing 6.6 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 34.5 minutes per game.

Bernard was in training camp with Minnesota on an Exhibit 10 contract, but was waived shortly before the start of the season.

His only NBA experience came on a two-way deal with Washington during the 2023/24 season. He appeared in 19 games and averaged 3.9 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.9 minutes per night for the Wizards.

The move leaves the Timberwolves with a roster opening ahead of Wednesday’s cutoff date for signing players to two-way deals. Rocco Zikarsky and Enrique Freeman occupy the team’s other two-way slots.
