Basketball player Ayo Dosunmu intends to return to strengthen the Minnesota Timberwolves, with a five-year contract worth 112 million US dollars or around Rp. 2 trillion (exchange rate of Rp. 17,870), following the impressive performance he showed throughout the 2025-2026 NBA playoffs .

Timberwolves management has made Dosunmu's contract extension one of its top priorities during this summer's transfer window.
The club believes the 26-year-old player played an important role in the team's achievements throughout last season, especially when entering the playoff phase .
He has consistently performed as one of the driving forces of the Timberwolves' game.
His ability to defend, control the tempo of the game, and contribute points at crucial moments makes him an important part of the team's rotation.
The impressive performance shown during the post-season is said to be the main factor that prompted the Timberwolves to immediately secure the player's services on a long-term basis.
Through the new contract, the club hopes to maintain the foundation of a competitive squad to compete at the top of the Western Conference in the coming seasons.
The agreement also provides certainty for the Timberwolves in formulating their team composition ahead of the 2026-2027 season.

With an average contract value of around US$22.4 million per season, the guard is now one of the key players who will be part of the Minnesota Timberwolves' long-term plans.
