Veteran guard Monta Ellis continues to pursue an NBA comeback and has worked out for the Minnesota Timberwolves, reports Jon Krawczynski and Shams Charania of The Athletic:
Wolves continue to do due diligence on available vets even after locking up Deng. Monta Ellis, Brandon Paul and Brandon Rush among those to work out, @ShamsCharania and I hear.

Remember, it’s due diligence. Getting a workout does not mean there’s a signing coming. For every signing there are probably 15 workouts.
