“I knew that was an uphill battle I was fighting coming into the situation,” Wells texted The Star Press shortly after the Timberwolves waived him. “After talking with management everything was positive. They just couldn’t make any trades to get them under 15 guaranteed contracts. But I’m going to stay ready and not give up on the season.”

The former Ball State and Central High School star last played in an NBA game in May 2008. Wells played briefly in China in the 2008-09 season and in Puerto Rico for 2009-10. He stayed in Muncie this year and trained for an NBA comeback attempt.

 

First-year Minnesota coach Rick Adelman coached Wells in Sacramento and Houston.
