Gersson Rosas, Minnesota's president of
basketball operations, made the announcement, which did not
include any terms, per team policy.
Martin, who turned 24 on Aug. 3, was a standout for the
Timberwolves' entry in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, where
he averaged 12.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in 21.9 minutes over
seven games off the bench.
"All I needed was a opportunity, thanks @Timberwolves can't wait
to get to work," wrote Martin on social media.
Martin recorded a game-high 19 points in the title game against
Memphis on July 15.
Last season, the 6-foot-7 forward played for MHP Reisen
Ludwigsburg in Germany, where he averaged 13.7 points and 4.4
rebounds in 27 games. Martin played four seasons at Butler, and
finished his career as the Bulldogs' third all-time leading
scorer with 2,047 points.
Teams are allowed to sign two players to two-way contracts in
addition to the 15-man regular-season roster. Such players can
accrue no more than 45 days with their respective NBA team
during the regular season and spend the remainder of the season
with the team's G-League affiliate. The Timberwolves' G-League
affiliate is the Iowa Wolves, based in Des Moines.
