Multiple outlets report that the Minnesota Timberwolves have “serious interest” in signing Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura. The interest is tied to Hachimura’s uncertain free agency situation for the 2025-26 season. One report notes that, as of now, Hachimura is the largest remaining Lakers player whose future with the team for 2025-26 has not been settled. The reports also provide context within the Lakers’ offseason planning. They state that LeBron James has already indicated his intention to leave the Lakers, and that Austin Reaves is expected to re-sign. With those two positions moving in the same direction, attention turns to Hachimura and whether he will stay in Los Angeles or instead join Minnesota. While the reports describe Minnesota’s interest, they do not provide details on contract offers, timelines, or whether Hachimura is willing to consider a move. The information presented is limited to the existence of interest and the broader roster uncertainty around Hachimura’s status.
