Timme Waived entered, immediately picked up by the Phoenix Suns

After four preseason games with the Minnesota Timberwolves in an Exhibit 10 training camp contract, forward/center Drew Timme has been released prior to the start of the 2026-27 regular season.

You don’t need to contend, as the Phoenix Suns immediately picked up the Gonzaga Bulldog legend off waivers and signed him to the third and final double-contract spot. This was first reported by the NBA Consensus. Timme replaced guard Koby Bianchini, who was cut to add more depth up front for second-year coach Jordan Ott.

The 6-10, 235 pound talent plans to split his time with the big club and their G League affiliate, the Valley Suns. Former Gonzaga guard David Stockton will be teammates with Timme in the Valley of the Suns. The general manager of the G League franchise, Brendan Sabean, used to be a student under coach Mark Few from 2010-14.
