Report: T-Wolves' Culver not expected to play in summer league

Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Jarrett Culver isn't expected to play in summer league as he fully integrates himself into the club's system, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The 20-year-old was selected sixth overall by the Phoenix Suns in this year's draft before being subsequently dealt to Minnesota for the 11th overall pick - Cameron Johnson - and Dario Saric.

Culver helped Texas Tech reach the national championship game during his sophomore season in 2018-19. The shooting guard averaged 18.5 points, 6.4 boards, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per contest en route to Big 12 Player of the Year honors. He was also a consensus second-team All-American.
