Waived by Minnesota Paschall (ankle) was waived by the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Paschall was with Minnesota on a two-way contract and had been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Thunder due to left ankle/Achilles tendinosis. He's appeared in 158 NBA matchups over the last three seasons and has averaged 9.8 points and 3.2 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game, and he may be claimed on waivers to serve as depth elsewhere.

Signs deal with Minnesota Paschall agreed to a one-year, two-way deal with the Timberwolves on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact After averaging career lows across the board during his first and only season with Jazz, Paschall is aiming for a fresh start in Minnesota. The Timberwolves mark the third team that the Villanova product has played for in just his fourth season. Paschall is slated to compete against Kyle Anderson, Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels for playing time. The 25-year-old remains a weak fantasy option entering the 2022-23 season, especially since being on a two-way deal means he'll spend plenty of time in the G League.

Not extended qualifying offer Paschall was not extended a qualifying offer by the Jazz on Thursday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Solid production in limited action Paschall ended Friday's 107-101 loss to the Hornets with 11 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 10 minutes.
Impact Paschall reverted to his usual reserve role Friday following a one-game stint with the starters. While his playing time may have been reduced, his production remained the same, as the third-year forward scored in double figures for a third straight appearance. As long as Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) and Danuel House (knee), remain sidelined, Paschall figures to have increased opportunities during the stretch run.

Scores 11 in spot start Paschall closed Wednesday's 125-97 loss to the Celtics with 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and two assists in 25 minutes.
Impact Paschall didn't play in any of Utah's last two games, but he delivered 17 points across 18 minutes off the bench in his previous appearance. Despite the fact that he scored in double digits, the fact that he needed 12 shots to score 11 points can't be overlooked, and his inconsistent role certainly limits his upside.

The third-year forward scored in double-digits for the first time since Feb. 14 and made half of his field-goal tries. Paschall came into the contest averaging a meager 2.4 points across 9.4 minutes over his previous seven appearances.
