The Timberwolves waived Bernard on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernard's tenure with the parent club ends just days after he agreed to a two-way contract Wednesday. The 26-year-old guard has been a standout performer for the G League's Iowa Wolves this season, averaging 22.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game. Despite his prolific scoring and recent triple-double performance in the G League, the Timberwolves have decided to move in a different direction. Bernard will now look to catch on with another organization or potentially return to the G League.

EDGE Analysis

Bernard has been tearing it up for Minnesota's G League affiliate this season, posting averages of 22.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game with the Iowa Wolves, and now he'll join the parent club for the remainder of the season.

The Timberwolves waived Bernard on Saturday, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernard was previously on an Exhibit 10 contract with Minnesota, and he's now set to join the Iowa Wolves in the G League for the 2025-26 season.

Bernard recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 14 minutes during Monday's 134-74 win over the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Bernard saw a sizable uptick in playing time after logging five minutes during Thursday's exhibition against the Knicks, but this was largely due to the fact that Minnesota rested the entire starting five and some key bench players. Bernard is competing for a spot on the regular-season roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, though it would appear he's destined to spend the majority of his time in the G League this season.

Bernard signed a training camp contract with the Timberwolves on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bernard will compete for a spot on the Timberwolves' regular-season roster in training camp. The 25-year-old swingman spent the 2024-25 campaign with the G League's Cleveland Charge, where he averaged 19.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists across 31.8 minutes per game in 29 outings.

Bernard tallied 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-9 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes in Saturday's 82-71 Summer League win over the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers signed Bernard to an Exhibit 10 contract Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bernard will join Cleveland for training camp, but he will likely end up on the club's G League affiliate, the Cleveland Charge. The 24-year-old appeared in 19 games for the Wizards last season, during which he averaged 3.9 points and 1.4 rebounds across 7.8 minutes per game.

Bernard logged 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Sunday's 130-104 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Bernard posted several career-best marks in his first extended look for the Wizards and gave the coaching staff something to think about. There are a lot of injuries in Washington right now, and given the Wizards' spot in the standings, there could be a youth movement in the final stretch. Bernard is worth keeping a close eye on going forward.

Bernard played the final 50 seconds of Thursday's 123-108 loss to the Jazz, missing his lone three-point attempt and recording no other statistics.

EDGE Analysis

The two-way player was back with the Wizards one day after he erupted for 29 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes Wednesday in the G League Capital City Go-Go's 110-106 loss to the Indiana Mad Ants. He's averaging 19.9 points while shooting 44 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from deep across 20 appearances in the G League this season.
