The Timberwolves didn’t make any trades on night one of the NBA draft. But entering night two Thursday, President Tim Connelly struck a deal. The Wolves entered the second night with the first pick, No.

With Wednesday night's first round of the NBA Draft completed, the Minnesota Timberwolves will look to add more future talent in Thursday's second round. Their No. 17 pick resulted in Joan Beringer, a French center who could develop as Rudy Gobert's eventual replacement, or at least his backup.

The Phoenix Suns have moved up to the top of the second round ahead of Day 2 of the 2025 NBA draft, ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Thursday.
