2019 NBA All-Star D'Angelo Russell is reportedly on his way to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed upon a deal that will send Russell, Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman to Minnesota in exchange for Andrew Wiggins and two future draft picks.


The 23-year-old Russell is averaging 23.6 points, 6.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds through 33 games with the Warriors. Golden State acquired the 23-year-old in the 2019 offseason in a sign-and-trade that sent Kevin Durant to the Brooklyn Nets.

Through 42 games, Wiggins is averaging 22.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and a career-high 3.7 assists. He's also knocking down a career-high 2.2 triples per game at a 33.1% clip.

Spellman, who was selected 30th overall in 2018, is averaging 7.6 points and 4.5 rebounds this season while Evans, the No. 28 overall pick in 2018 is averaging 4.7 points and 1.5 rebounds this season.
