Joins Minnesota Forbes and the Timberwolves agreed to a contract Friday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Forbes helps make up for some depth lost in the Wolves' trade to acquire Rudy Gobert. Over the past two seasons, Forbes has shot 43.4 percent from three on 4.4 attempts per game. It's possible he sees a marginal increase in role compared to his time in Denver last season, where he saw 17.1 minutes per game.

Starting against Lakers Forbes is starting Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Since several Nuggets starters will be unavailable Sunday, Forbes will make his second start of the year during the regular-season finale. He's averaged just 2.0 points in 7.0 minutes per game across his last four appearances.

Sinks to irrelevance Forbes totaled zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over five minutes during Monday's 113-109 win over the Hornets.

Impact Forbes has averaged 1.6 points, 1.0 assists and 0.8 rebounds across his last five games -- a far cry from the 10.5 points per game he averaged in his first 18 appearances for Denver. The emergence of Bones Hyland is a factor, but Forbes simply isn't a meaningful contributor at this time.

Contributes off bench Wednesday Forbes amassed 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and one rebound over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 106-100 victory over the Kings.

Impact Forbes has struggled with consistency, but there's no question his scoring ability and his three-point shooting can provide a lift to the Nuggets' second unit on any given game. He's scored in double digits in three of his last six outings.

Drains five triples in loss Forbes notched 18 points (5-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, three assists and one block across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-107 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Forbes took all but one of his shot attempts from beyond the arc, and he finished with five three-pointers for the second straight contest. As usual, the sharpshooter contributed little else in the box score, though his three assists were his most since Feb. 6. Forbes' lack of peripheral stats makes him difficult to roster in fantasy despite his long-range ability.

Catches fire from downtown Forbes posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 25 minutes Sunday in the Nuggets' 124-92 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Forbes hit at least five three-pointers in a game for the fourth time this season, but as was the case in each of those other three contests, he offered little supporting production. Even if Forbes captures a consistent 25-plus-minute role for an extended period of time, he should be viewed as little more than an elite streaming option for three-pointers.

Scores 22 points in win Forbes posted 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 win over the Warriors.

Impact Forbes was Denver's second-leading scorer behind Nikola Jokic (35 points) in the contest. The reserve guard notched his second game of 20-plus points so far in February and led all players with four three-pointers. Forbes has the ability to get hot from deep on occasion, but his inconsistency and lack of peripheral stats make him difficult to roster in most fantasy leagues.

Lands three triples in win Forbes logged 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two assists across 20 minutes during Monday's 121-111 victory over Orlando.

Impact Forbes played his role to perfection in the win, coming off the bench with 16 points in 20 minutes. The Nuggets acquired him to provide them with another scoring punch as they look to push higher in the standings. While this was an encouraging performance, it does not move the needle all too much, especially when it comes to standard fantasy formats.

Big 26-point explosion falls short Forbes registered 26 points (10-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and two assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 108-104 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Forbes was the offensive star for a shorthanded Nuggets squad that was missing Nikola Jokic (toe), Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and DeMarcus Cousins (foot) on Wednesday. He notched his second-highest point total of the campaign on an uber-efficient 10-for-13 mark from the field. Forbes has shown the ability to get hot from deep and pour in points in bunches, but he doesn't contribute much in the way of peripheral stats and isn't likely to see consistent enough playing time to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues moving forward.

Solid showing off bench Forbes ended with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Friday's 116-105 win over the Pelicans.

Impact With Will Barton (illness) sidelined, Forbes played his most minutes (25) since joining the Nuggets. He made the most of the opportunity by being efficient from the field en route to his second double-digit outing with Denver. In five games with his new squad, Forbes is averaging 8.6 points and 1.0 assists in 19.6 minutes.

Returns to life Forbes contributed 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Friday's 116-105 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Prior to Friday's solid 14-point performance, Forbes had put forth two duds -- combining for eight points, three assists, and no other stats while shooting 3-for-13 from the field. Consistently supplying barren stats outside of points and threes, Friday represents a realistic expectation for Forbes' production in Denver.

Set to play Friday Forbes is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Mike Singer of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Forbes was acquired from the Spurs earlier this week and is poised to make his debut for the Nuggets on Friday. The 28-year-old averaged 9.1 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.6 threes in 16.9 minutes for San Antonio this season, and he figures to fill a similar role with Denver given his strong shooting (41.7 percent) from deep.
