The Timberwolves waived Bowen on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bowen was waived alongside Javonte Cook on Saturday. Both players will likely spend the 2023-24 season with the Timberwolves' G League affiliate, the Iowa Wolves.

Bowen was absent for Monday's 124-97 loss to Birmingham due to illness.

EDGE Analysis

Bowen has yet to make his debut for the Wolves since recently joining the team while dealing with illness that sidelined him Monday. Bowen averaged 13.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15 games with Iowa a season ago.

Bowen (undisclosed) is on the Timberwolves' summer league roster and is presumably healthy.

EDGE Analysis

Bowen suffered a season-ending undisclosed injury in mid-March and missed the remainder of the G League season, but he's presumably healthy after being named to the summer league roster. In his 12 appearances with the Iowa Wolves, he averaged 16.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 35.2 minutes.

Bowen will not return during the 2021-22 G League season due to injury, per the G League transactions page.

EDGE Analysis

Bowen was limited to just 12 minutes in Iowa's game against Birmingham on Wednesday, which was apparently due to an injury that will prevent him from returning to the floor this year. Instead, he will shift his focus to getting healthy ahead of 2022-23.
