Drew Timme was waived by the Minnesota Timberwolves after four preseason games and was immediately signed by the Phoenix Suns on October 19, 2026, to fill their final two-way contract spot. The Suns cut guard Koby Brea to create the roster space for Timme, who will split his time between the NBA and the G League affiliate, Valley Suns. This marks Timme's sixth NBA organization since going undrafted in 2023. He averaged 6.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 10.8 minutes per game during the Timberwolves' preseason. Timme's addition brings the number of former Gonzaga players on NBA rosters to 12, including notable names like Zach Collins and Chet Holmgren.
