Omri Casspi

Timberwolves are close to signing Omri Casspi

Free agent forward Omri Casspi is closing on a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

What It Means:

Casspi would be a great fit for the Wolves as they will be without Lance Stephenson and Nemanja Bjelica for the rest of the season. He is still about a week away from being able to play after suffering a thumb injury in his first and only game with the New Orleans Pelicans on February 23.

Casspi has averaged just 6.1 points and 4.0 rebounds in 23 games this season.
