On February 15, Beijing time, according to US media reports, the Timberwolves have signed a one-year, $13 million early contract extension contract with the team's starting force Beverly. As we all know, Beverley signed a three-year, $40 million player contract with the Clippers in 2019, and this player contract will officially expire this summer, so in order to continue to keep the defensive player, the Timberwolves management is now also in advance of a short-term contract extension of tens of millions of dollars.
In the NBA regular season this season, Beverley averaged 9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game for the Timberwolves, and his shooting percentage was 40.6%. Of course, Beverley's real value is still reflected in the defensive end, especially his court effort and morale motivation, and to a large extent, it also helps the Timberwolves achieve the current good record winning rate. Therefore, the Timberwolves are now willing to renew Beverly's contract in advance for $13 million a year, which is also a full proof of Beverley's value and importance in the eyes of the team's management.
It is worth mentioning that so far this season, the Timberwolves have successfully won the regular season record of 30 wins and 27 losses, the team ranking is currently ranked 7th in the Western Division, and according to the current regular season rankings, the Timberwolves are likely to successfully enter the playoffs this season. The Timberwolves, once the weakest team in the Western Conference, now seem to be completely turned over in the 21-22 season, so the Timberwolves management must also retain the current lineup combination as much as possible, so as to be able to maintain the playoff competitiveness in the Western Division for a long time.
Although Beverley's NBA career start is very low, he is only an NBA second-round show player in 2009, and once he could only play in the Europa League, but since receiving a 3-year salary contract from the Rockets in 2013, Beverley has quickly gained a foothold in the NBA League, and has even been selected for the NBA League's regular season best defensive team many times. Now counting the $13 million contract salary given by the Timberwolves, Beverley's total salary contract for the NBA career has reached $78 million, and he is definitely an inspirational model in the NBA league!
