The Timberwolves will sign forward/center Johni Broome to a two-way contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

Broome, 24, attended training camp with the Bucks on an Exhibit 10 contract before being waived ahead of the regular season. He appeared in two games for their G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd.

The Sixers selected Broome with the No. 35 pick in the 2025 draft after he earned first-team All-America honors at Auburn. He played in 11 NBA games as a rookie and averaged 19.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in eight appearances for the Delaware Blue Coats.

His rookie season ended early after surgery in February to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his right knee.

Philadelphia traded Broome and a second-round pick to the Clippers in July. The Clippers waived him in September, and he subsequently joined Milwaukee.

Minnesota has an open two-way roster spot and will not need to waive another player to complete the signing, as Arthur Hill of Hoops Rumors noted.
