Free agent guard Jules Bernard signed a non-guaranteed training camp contract with Timberwolveswhile a point guard David Stockton did the same with The sunaccording to Paul Garcia of Spot Up Shot (Twitter references).
Bernard, 26, played 19 games for the Wizards in the 2023-2024 season on a two-way contract and briefly signed a two-way deal with Minnesota last February, but he hasn’t seen any NBA action for the Timberwolves.
The 6’6″ swingman, who went undrafted out of UCLA in 2022, has spent most of his pro career in the G League. In 2025/26, he averaged 22.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 45 outings (34.0 mpg) for the Iowa Wolves, registering a .418/.331/.799 shooting percentage.
Stockton, son of a Hall of Famer John Stocktonhas six NBA games, but the last of those came in 2018. Since then he has played in Germany, Puerto Rico and the G League, most recently with the Valley Suns in the 2024/25 season. He averaged 14.4 PPG, 6.0 APG and 2.6 RPG with 27.1 MPG in 36 NBAGL appearances that year.
Stockton’s deal with the Suns, which almost certainly includes Exhibition 10 language, signaling that he is slated to return to Phoenix’s NBAGL affiliate this season at age 35. He will be eligible to earn a bonus of up to $91,000 on top of his G League base salary if he spends at least 60 days with the team.
Like Stockton, Minnesota will likely waive Bernard in the coming days or weeks, then return to his team’s G-League affiliate in the fall.
