Reaches free agency Nix became a free agent Tuesday after his 10-day contract with the Kings expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Nix didn't make any appearances for Sacramento over the course of his 10-day deal.

Impact Nix will be on a two-way deal with Minnesota for a second consecutive season after appearing in 15 games with the T-Wolves in 2023-24. Considering he played sparingly last season and Minnesota spent its' first-round pick on a point guard in Rob Dillingham, Nix should spend most of the upcoming season in the G League.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Transferred to NBA club Minnesota transferred Nix from the G League's Iowa Wolves to the Timberwolves on Monday.

Impact Minnesota is dealing with numerous absences before Monday's game in Utah, so Nix has been recalled and will provide emergency depth. However, he's made only 12 NBA appearances this season and has played double-digit minutes just once.

Fails to score in 11 minutes Nix notched zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 11 minutes during Sunday's 134-109 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Nix was a non-factor in the loss, continuing what has been an underwhelming stretch of games. He has failed to score double-digits since late February, despite the fact he has been a part of the rotation on most nights. While the Rockets are clearly building for the future, it is unlikely Nix features heavily in their long-term plans. His fantasy value is basically non-existent at this point.

Scores nine off bench Nix recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Friday's 151-114 loss to Memphis.

Impact Nix's minutes have been fairly low, but he was able to get a good chunk of minutes in garbage time Friday. The Rockets have a back-to-back set coming up starting Sunday, so he could be a candidate to see more minutes if the Rockets sit some veterans.

Impact Kevin Porter (thigh contusion) is returning from a one-game absence, so there are no surprises here. Nix did not take advantage of his expanded opportunity Thursday versus Indiana, as he was held to six points on 25 percent shooting in 35 minutes.
