Wants to return to Minnesota
Hyland closed with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one rebound over eight minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Scoop: Hyland saw meaningful minutes off the Timberwolves' bench during the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Nuggets. However, he saw his playing time diminish during the second round, and all eight of his minutes in Friday's loss came during garbage time in the fourth quarter. Hyland is an unrestricted free agent but expressed his desire to return to the Timberwolves, as he told reporters Friday that "[Minnesota] feels like where I belong so I definitely want to come back," per Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune. Hyland averaged 16.6 minutes per game during the regular season while mostly operating off the bench, but if he returns to the Timberwolves for the 2026-27 campaign, he could be in line for an expanded role due to the absence of Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles).
