Anderson agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the Raptors on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Anderson will join Toronto with the hope of providing depth in the frontcourt. He's bounced around to five different teams over his last two seasons, most recently suiting up for Memphis, Minnesota and Utah a year ago. Anderson averaged 6.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 43 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Sees less playing time in playoffs
Rotowire
Anderson contributed two points (1-3 FG) and three assists across eight minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Anderson averaged 19.1 minutes per game across 19 regular-season outings with the Timberwolves. However, the veteran forward was a healthy DNP in four of Minnesota's last seven postseason games, and his eight minutes of playing time Friday all took place during the fourth quarter in garbage time. Anderson suited up for the Grizzlies, Jazz and Timberwolves during the 2025-26 season and enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Anderson is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Nuggets due to illness.
Anderson will presumably be a true game-time call after being added to the Minnesota injury report a few hours before tipoff. The team should have a better idea of his availability after he goes through warmups.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Nears double-double in spot start
Rotowire
Anderson posted 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 136-132 win over Houston.
Anderson filled in with a solid line in place of Julius Randle (hand), who will likely remain out for the team's regular-season finale against the Pelicans. Anderson's participation since joining the Timberwolves has been limited, but he provides critical minutes with the second unit and can help boost the team's rebounding when Randle or Rudy Gobert sits.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Moving to starting role
Rotowire
Anderson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
The Timberwolves will rest the majority of their regular starters for this game against Orlando, meaning Anderson will be in line for an expanded role in the frontcourt. Anderson is averaging 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game through three starts this season.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Returns to limited role
Rotowire
Anderson closed Friday's 115-103 loss to the 76ers with six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and five assists in 14 minutes.
Anderson saw just 14 minutes in the loss and was unable to repeat his defensive heroics from the night before. As expected, his recent uptick in production was nothing more than an outlier. Other than being a potential streaming consideration, Anderson holds no real fantasy value.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Muted impact in win
Rotowire
Anderson had three points (1-6 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Although Anderson saw a considerable workload, he wasn't able to translate it to much fantasy appeal. He's been more involved over his last three games with 21.3 minutes per contest, but he's averaging just 4.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Increased role in win
Rotowire
Anderson amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 victory over the Suns.
Anderson logged 25 minutes off the bench, the most he has played since rejoining the Timberwolves. With Naz Reid forced to the locker room due to an ankle injury, albeit temporarily, Anderson was afforded a few extra minutes. If Reid is to miss any amount of time moving forward, Anderson could be on the radar as a potential streaming candidate given his ability to chip in across multiple categories.

Anderson (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, per Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'.
Anderson is ready to return from a one-game absence with a right knee injury. The veteran forward has made two appearances during his second stint with the Timberwolves, and he should help fill out some reserve minutes in the frontcourt Tuesday.

Rotowire

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Cracks rotation in team debut
Rotowire
Anderson recorded two points (2-2 FT) and one rebound across 14 minutes Tuesday in the Timberwolves' 117-110 win over the Grizzlies.
After finalizing a one-year deal with the Timberwolves on Monday upon receiving a buyout from the Grizzlies, Anderson entered the rotation Tuesday to kick off his second stint with Minnesota. So long as the Timberwolves have all of Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle and Naz Reid available, the 32-year-old forward isn't expected to see his role expand dramatically and will likely struggle to attain fantasy relevance.

Rotowire
Anderson signed a contract with Minnesota on Monday, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Kyle Anderson: Agrees to buyout with Memphis
Rotowire
Anderson has agreed to a contract buyout with the Grizzlies and plans to sign with the Timberwolves upon clearing waivers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Anderson will bring some depth to the forward spots in Minnesota, but it's unlikely he'll earn enough minutes to make a meaningful impact in fantasy leagues. Anderson's departure from Memphis should help Olivier-Maxence Prosper earn consistent minutes to close out the season.

Grizzlies' Kyle Anderson: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Anderson has been ruled out for Friday's game in Dallas due to personal reasons.
The Grizzlies are no longer listing Anderson's right knee tendinitis on the injury report, so it seems like his absence from Friday's game will be strictly due to personal reasons. It's unclear exactly what Anderson is dealing with, but for now, he should be considered questionable for Sunday's game in Indiana. Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Taylor Hendricks and GG Jackson will continue to pick up the slack in Anderson's absence.
