Prior to Hagans’ brief time in the G League bubble down in Orlando, FL, the former Wildcat appeared in two games for the Timberwolves, failing to accumulate stats in either contest. He was signed to a two-way contract back on Nov. 28 after going undrafted in the 2021 NBA Draft.
As a sophomore at Kentucky in 2019-20, Hagans averaged 11.5 points, 6.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.9 steals per contest, earning SEC All-Defensive Team honors in the process. The former Wildcat was also named SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year back in 2019.
Now, Hagans will have to find a new home as he continues his professional basketball career.
