The team announced today that it has requested waivers on guard Blake Ahearn, forward Chris Richard and center David Harrison.
That puts the roster at the regular-season limit of 15 players.
UPDATE:
The moves were the most cost-effective ones the team could make. There’s still a chance they could re-sign one of those players if he clears waivers in 48 hours and if they make another roster move. Expect the Wolves to try to trade Calvin Booth’s $1.14 million salary slot for some kind of draft pick. If they can do so, they could bring Harrison or Richard back.
From the Timberwolves site:
Ahearn, signed as a free agent on Sept. 29, appeared in five preseason games for the Wolves, averaging 7.8 points and 1.2 assists in 11.6 minutes per game.
Minnesota selected Richard in the second round (41st overall pick) of the 2007 NBA Draft. The Florida alum appeared in five games this preseason, averaging 1.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game. In his rookie season with the Wolves, Richard appeared in 52 games, averaging 1.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.
Harrison, signed as a free agent on Oct. 9, has been sidelined throughout the preseason with a strained right calf.
