Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has reportedly found a landing spot for the upcoming NBA season.

According to Yahoo's Chris Haynes, Hollis-Jefferson has reached an agreement with the Minnesota Timberwolves. John Krawczynski, who covers the Wolves for The Athletic, added that Hollis-Jefferson will sign a training camp deal, which is one-year and non-guaranteed.

Hollis-Jefferson joins the Wolves after spending a season with the Toronto Raptors in which he became a fan favourite for his effort and hustle plays. Over 60 games with the Raptors (six starts), RHJ posted averages of 7.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per contest.

Following the news that he would be moving on, Hollis-Jefferson took to his Twitter to pen a message to the city of Toronto, the Raptors organization and their fans, saying "Toronto that year with you guys was unforgettable!!! North side (I) love y'all. Thank you to everyone in the organization from Larry (Tanenbaum) to the janitors! And to the fans never forget HustleManChap."

Hollis-Jefferson, who began his career with the Brooklyn Nets after being selected 23rd overall in the 2015 NBA Draft, reunites with former Nets teammates in D'Angelo Russell and Ed Davis in Minnesota. This continues a busy offseason for the Wolves, highlighted by selecting Anthony Edwards with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, trading to bring back Ricky Rubio and re-signing prolific scoring guard Malik Beasley.

Minnesota opens the 2020 preseason on Dec. 12 when it hosts Rookie of the Year Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies.
