Former Timberwolves wing Johnny Juzang is headed overseas.
Zenit BC, based in St. Petersburg, announced that Juzang has signed with the Russian club for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
Juzang, 24, was waived by Minnesota 10 days ago after reaching the 50-game active limit on his two-way contract. He appeared in 21 games for the Timberwolves this season, logging 88 total minutes and rarely seeing action outside of late-game situations.
A Los Angeles native, Juzang played one season at Kentucky and two at UCLA before going undrafted in 2022. He spent his first two NBA seasons on two-way deals with the Jazz and later signed a multiyear standard contract in August 2024. Only the first season was guaranteed, and he was waived in June 2025.
Over four NBA seasons, Juzang appeared in 123 games, averaging 6.9 points and 2.2 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per contest.
This marks his first stint playing internationally.
