MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired guard Ayo Dosunmu from the Chicago Bulls, adding a proven scorer to bolster their depth for the stretch run in the stacked Western Conference playoffs race, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have made a trade before the NBA deadline, bringing in former Bulls shooting guard Ayo Dosunmu.

Dosunmu is averaging 15 points per game and shooting 45 percent from three this season.

The Bulls on Thursday sent Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks, as first reported by ESPN and The Athletic.

The Chicago Bulls traded Ayo Dosunmu for four players and four draft picks to the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Trade Deadline.

The Bulls and Timberwolves completed one of the more substantial deals of the week. Minnesota is acquiring guard Ayo Dosunmu and forward Julian Phillips, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly adding a guard ahead of the trade deadline.

The T-Wolves, led by superstar Anthony Edwards, (32-20) sit at 5th place in the Western Conference. The addition of Dosunmu and return of Shannon Jr. will surely make Minnesota one of the most electrifying watches in the NBA.
