The Timberwolves are moving toward buying out forward Anthony Bennett’s contract, Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reports. 

Minnesota acquired Bennett, the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft, prior to last season in the trade that sent Kevin Love to the Cavaliers. He played in 57 games in his first season with the T-Wolves (his second in the NBA), averaging 5.2 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. 

Bennett, 22, is a native of Toronto and played one year of college ball at UNLV. 

If Bennett’s contract is bought out and he clears waivers, he would be an unrestricted free agent.
