Scotto: The Timberwolves sign 24-year-old forward Johnny Bloom to a two-way contract.

According to HoopsHype reporter Michael Scotto on Wednesday, Johnny Bloom will sign a two-way contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Prior to this, he had played two games for the Timberwolves' G League affiliate, the Iowa Grizzlies.

Bloom, 24, is a 2.06-meter tall, 111-kilogram forward who will enter the NBA in 2025 as the 35th overall pick in the second round. In his rookie season, he played for the Philadelphia 76ers, appearing in 11 regular season games, averaging 0.9 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 0.4 assists in 5.0 minutes per game, shooting 4-for-24 from the field.

Compared to his NBA career, Bloom's performance in the G League has been more consistent. Last season, he played 26 games for the 76ers' affiliate, the Delaware Blue Shirts, averaging 21.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 blocks, and 1.1 steals in 32.8 minutes per game, with a field goal percentage of 46.4%.

However, Bloom's offseason was far from smooth. He was first traded from the 76ers to the Los Angeles Clippers and then waived, before joining the Milwaukee Bucks on a training camp contract. However, he was waived by the Bucks shortly before the start of the regular season.

With this roster change, the Timberwolves have now filled all three two-way contract slots. Besides Bloom, the other two Timberwolves players on two-way contracts are Zion Prin and Roko Zikasky.
