Shake Milton News
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Shake Milton (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Milton popped up on the injury report with left foot soreness, creating some doubt regarding his availability for Monday's interconference tilt. The 27-year-old combo guard has been a member of head coach Chris Finch's rotation for 38 combined minutes over the season's first two contests, likely due to Jaden McDaniels' (calf) absence, but he has only scored six points across this stretch. Mike Conley could handle additional run in the starting unit if Milton is sidelined, while Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely see extra minutes in this case.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Shake Milton is heading into his first season with the team and he's already stepping into more opportunities in training camp. The team wants him to shoot more threes than he did with the 76ers and he flashed his range over the first few days already. He attempted 1.9 per game last season which was down from his career-high of 3.4 in his second season. The 27-year-old took a step back minutes-wise last year and it remains to be seen if he'll see upwards of 20 minutes per contest. His main competition will be Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, but if he can find his way on the floor more often, he could be a good three-point asset in category formats.
According to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Shake Milton is signing a contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. It will be a two-year, $10 million deal. Milton desired more minutes and a more prominent role in free agency, and now he will get that opportunity in Minnesota. The 26-year-old guard has been a productive player in the last few seasons for Philadelphia, even in his limited role. He averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 76 games for the Sixers last season. The Timberwolves severely lacked depth last year, so Milton could immediately come in and produce.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is not likely to re-sign with the team at this time. Kyle Neubeck of the Philly Voice suggests this could happen "as the veteran guard looks for a potential opportunity for more minutes". The 26-year-old made a few spot starts here and there for the injured James Harden and Tyrese Maxey last season, but was mostly glued to the bench otherwise. The combo guard has scored 9.4 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game across 20.8 minutes per night over 254 contests in his Philadelphia career. Milton would likely only become a priority for the 76ers if Harden ends up walking this offseason.
