Naz Reid, reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, is expected to decline his $15 million player option for 2025-26 and test free agency this summer in search of a bigger contract.
Minnesota Timberwolves big man Naz Reid is expected to opt out of his contract this summer and enter free agency, according to Jake Fischer.
"Reid, who is the league's reigning Sixth Man of the Year for a few more months, possesses a $15 million player option for 2025-26 that many of those same strategists expect he'll decline in search of a richer arrangement in the summer," Fischer reported on the Substack.
This season, the 25-year-old is averaging 14.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists for the 7th-seeded Timberwolves, who hold a 31-27 record.
Reid went undrafted in 2019 but quickly landed with Minnesota, where he has played ever since.
In June 2023, he signed a three-year, $42 million contract extension, which included the player option he may now choose to decline.
