Reid is the first Timberwolves player ever to garner the honor.
The Timberwolves big man was officially named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year Wednesday night, becoming the first Timberwolves player to ever take home the honor. Reid was a finalist alongside the Sacramento Kings’ Malik Monk and the Milwaukee Bucks’ Bobby Portis Jr.
Reid filled in admirably as the Timberwolves went 12-6 during Towns’ absence. Reid scored a career-high 34 points in the second game Towns missed, a 113-104 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on March 8 in Cleveland. Reid played 32 minutes off the bench and shot 10 for 18 from the field and 7 for 11 from 3-point range in that contest.
Reid is in his fifth season with the Timberwolves and is in the midst of the best year of his career. Reid signed a three-year, $42 million contract before the 2023-24 season.
