Layman signed a one-year contract Wednesday with Spanish club Basquet Manresa.

EDGE Analysis

After failing to secure a roster spot with the Celtics after joining the club on an Exhibit 10 deal ahead of training camp, Layman has elected to continue his career overseas rather than heading to the G League, where he likely would have had to settle for a much lower salary. A 2016 second-round pick, Layman saw NBA action in each of the past six seasons, averaging 4.8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 12.8 minutes per game over 243 regular-season appearances.

The Celtics waived Layman on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Layman averaged 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.8 minutes across 34 games for Minnesota last season. After appearing in just two games for the Celtics this preseason, the 28-year-old forward will look to join his fourth team ahead of his seventh season in the NBA.

Layman signed a non-guaranteed training camp contract with the Celtics on Monday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Layman appeared in 34 games with the Timberwolves last season, averaging 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.8 minutes per contest. The forward had his most productive NBA season in 2018-19, averaging 7.6 points and 3.1 rebounds across 18.7 minutes per game in 71 appearances with the Timberwolves.

Layman notched 10 points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and one steal over 17 minutes during Sunday's 124-120 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Layman hasn't been a significant part of the rotation since the start of the calendar year, but the Timberwolves opted to lean more on their bench players in Sunday's regular-season finale. He should revert to his normal role during Tuesday's play-in game against the Clippers.

Layman will come off the bench Monday against the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Layman received his first start of the season Thursday but will quickly return to a bench role. He had 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two steals and one block in that contest, and he should see extended minutes again Monday since the Timberwolves still have a significant portion of their rotation in the COVID-19 protocols.

Layman will start Thursday's contest against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

With Anthony Edwards, Taurean Prince and Josh Okogie all in COVID-19 protocols, Layman will draw his first start of the season. Across 12 appearances this year, he's averaging 1.1 points in 5.2 minutes per game, but he's expected to have a larger role against Utah.

Layman scored two points (1-3 FG) in five minutes in Wednesday's season-opening win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

A year ago, Layman was in contention for a starting role at power forward. After a disappointing 2020-21 season (averaging just 5.1 points and 1.5 rebounds in 13.9 minutes), he's buried on the bench.

Layman (coach's decision) didn't play during Thursday's win over Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Layman went unused for a sixth straight matchup. The forward last appeared April 18 against the Clippers and posted two points and one assist in four minutes of action. Layman is currently averaging 5.3 points across 42 games played.

Layman will start Wednesday's matchup against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Josh Okogie was deemed questionable with less than an hour before tipoff due to a personal matter, so he's been bumped from the starting five in favor of Layman. Layman's playing time has fallen by the wayside lately with the Wolves getting healthier. But in 10 starts this season, he's averaged 5.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 19.9 minutes.

Layman (coach's decision) went unused Monday in the Timberwolves' 112-107 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Since heading to the bench last week after starting seven times in an eight-game span, Layman has effectively fallen out of head coach Chris Finch's rotation. Over the last four games, Layman has failed to leave the bench twice, and he's played only 19 combined minutes in a pair of games the Wolves lost by 20-plus points. Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Jarrett Culver and Juancho Hernangomez look to be ahead of Layman in the pecking order for playing time at either forward spot, and Josh Okogie could slot ahead of Layman as well once he clears COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
