Minneapolis/St. Paul –
The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team has re-signed
forward Robbie Hummel. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not
disclosed.
"We
are excited to have Robbie back with us this season," said Flip
Saunders, Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations. "He proved
that he can be a key contributor off the bench and finished the season
strong. Robbie's ability to stretch the floor with his shooting range is
a valuable asset for our team."

Wolves last year, averaging 3.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.4 minutes
