Beringer Is Timberwolves’ Summer League Headliner, and More
Minnesota’s roster features Joan Beringer and other prospects as Isaiah Evans is absent, with four games scheduled and every team guaranteed a fifth.
The Minnesota Timberwolves released their Summer League Schedule and Prime Roster on Sunday, though draft pick Isaiah Evans remains absent pending the official Julius Randle trade to Brooklyn.
Nineteen-Year-Old French center Joan Beringer headlines the Minnesota squad, entering his second Summer League after notching 11 points, eight rebounds, and seven blocks in just 23 minutes last year.
Summer League coach Nathan Bubes is prioritizing tactical adjustments to reduce foul trouble, ensuring Beringer is "ready early in his positions" during defensive switches. Beringer now weighs 245 pounds, up from 230 a season ago.
The team plays the New Orleans Pelicans at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday, with additional games following on July 11, July 13, and July 15 across Prime and ESPN broadcasts.
With the departures of Julius Randle and Naz Reid, Beringer is slated to serve as backup center behind Rudy Gobert, making this Summer League tournament crucial for his development in the 2026-27 campaign.
