Plays 18 minutes in finale Monroe contributed nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 18 minutes during Sunday's 124-120 loss to Chicago.

Impact Monroe had a minimal role in each of his first two appearances after signing a rest-of-season deal with Minnesota on Thursday, but the Timberwolves utilized their bench players more during Sunday's regular-season finale. The 31-year-old is unlikely to be a significant part of the rotation during Tuesday's play-in game against the Clippers.

Will be available Thursday Monroe has officially signed with the Timberwolves and will be available for Thursday's game against Phoenix.

Impact Earlier Thursday, the Wolves signed Monroe for the remainder of the season, and he's since joined the team and is on the floor for pregame warmups. It's unclear if he'll actually see any action, but the veteran spent some time with Minnesota earlier in the season, so he should be relatively familiar with the Wolves' system.

Sticking around with Utah Monroe agreed Thursday with the Jazz on a rest-of-season contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact After Monroe's 10-day deal with Utah expired Wednesday, the team will be keeping him around on a more permanent basis to provide depth at center behind Rudy Gobert and Hassan Whiteside. Between stops with Utah, Milwaukee, Washington and Minnesota this season, Monroe has appeared in 13 games while averaging 5.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.6 minutes.

Not listed on injury report Monroe is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Clippers, implying that he's available to make his Jazz debut.

Impact Monroe signed with the Jazz on Sunday but was not available in time for that night's contest against the Mavs. With another 48 hours to acquaint himself with his latest stop, the veteran big man should be available for coach Quin Snyder. With Rudy Gobert (leg) questionable and Hassan Whiteside (foot) out, Monroe could be pressed into increased minutes right away.

Not expected to debut Sunday Monroe is not expected to debut for the Jazz on Sunday against Dallas, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact The veteran joined the Jazz on a 10-day deal earlier in the day, but the team is not expecting to have him available until Tuesday's game at the Clippers. With Hassan Whiteside nursing a sprained foot, Monroe could find himself as the backup to Rudy Gobert should Whiteside miss additional time beyond Sunday.

Joins Utah via 10-day contract Monroe signed a 10-day contract with the Jazz on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Monroe previously spent time with the Bucks, Timberwolves and Wizards this season, appearing in 10 total contests and averaging 5.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.1 minutes. Hassan Whiteside is currently dealing with a foot injury, so Monroe will likely compete with Juancho Hernangomez for backup minutes behind Rudy Gobert.

Deal expires Monroe's 10-day contract with the Bucks expired Tuesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Monroe has been part of the rotation in each of the Bucks' five games since signing his 10-day deal, averaging 5.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per game. Though Milwaukee would still have an open roster spot for Monroe if it elects to bring him back on another 10-day deal, the Bucks essentially found his replacement last week, when the team acquired Serge Ibaka from the Clippers ahead of the trade deadline. Both Ibaka and Monroe were able to pick up minutes in Monday's loss to Portland in the former's team debut, but that likely won't be the case when Giannis Antetokounmpo -- who sat out against the Trail Blazers with an ankle injury -- returns to the lineup.

Available Saturday Monroe (recently signed) is available to play Saturday against the Trail Blazers.

Impact The 32-year-old center had previously been with the Timberwolves and Wizards on 10-day deals earlier this season, averaging 5.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 16.2 minutes. He could immediately slot in as the Bucks' top backup center behind Bobby Portis, as Milwaukee hasn't settled on an adequate replacement since DeMarcus Cousins wasn't retained in early January.
