Budinger has exercised his $5 million player option for the 2015-2016 season to remain with the Timberwolves, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

The volume of injuries across Minnesota's roster late in the season allowed Budinger to fill a bigger role off the bench in the last two months of the season. He averaged 12.3 points over the last 21 games of the season. However, he's a candidate to be traded since he was stuck on the bench early in the season when Minnesota had a healthy roster.
