Ryan signed a two-way contract with New Orleans on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan was waived by the Timberwolves on Friday prior to the Pelicans claiming him. He'll provide shooting reinforcement as New Orleans attempts to overcome the early-season absences of Trey Murphy (knee) and Naji Marshall (knee). Ryan connected on 38.1 percent of 84 total three-point attempts last season.

Ryan signed a two-way deal with the Timberwolves on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan appeared in 34 games between the Lakers and Timberwolves last year and averaged 3.6 points in 9.1 minutes per game. The 6-foot-7 wing is a sharpshooter, connecting on 38.1 percent of 2.5 three-point attempts per game. Ryan will likely split time between the NBA and G League squad during the 2023-24 campaign.

Minnesota lists Ryan (two-way contract) as out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
The Timberwolves don't list Ryan with an injury, so it's possible that he's nearing or has reached the limit of 50 active games at the NBA level that are allotted for two-way players. Since two-way players are ineligible for the postseason, Ryan will conclude the 2022-23 campaign with averages of 3.6 points, 0.9 three-pointers, 0.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 9.1 minutes per game over 34 appearances between the Timberwolves and Lakers.

The Timberwolves transferred Ryan from the G League's Iowa Wolves to the NBA club Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan averaged 18.3 points, 4.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds across seven G League games this season, but with Iowa out of the playoff picture, he's returned to the NBA club and will fill his usual reserve role for Minnesota.
