The Los Angeles Lakers lacked a versatile wing defender and Jonathan Kuminga provided a solution. All signs had pointed toward the talented youngster joining the Purple and Gold.

But the free agent forward signed a two-year, $13 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves Wednesday, according to Shams Charania. Kuminga became one of the final players off the market with training camp set to start next month.

He will join Anthony Edwards and Lamelo Ball in Minnesota after being linked to the Lakers for a majority of the offseason.
