Keels was waived by the Timberwolves on Thursday.
Keels signed with Minnesota on Tuesday but will be let go by the club a few days later. If he doesn't land another NBA contract ahead of the regular season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in the G League this year.

Rotowire
Keels and the Timberwolves agreed to a contract Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
This is likely an Exhibit 10 deal, meaning Keels will have the opportunity to fight for a roster spot in training camp. Keels was with Iowa in the G League in 2023-24, where he averaged 13.5 points and 3.7 assists per game.

Trevor Keels: Set to be waived from two-way deal
Rotowire
The Knicks plan to waive Keels from his two-way contract, but the team will retain his G League rights for 2023-24, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Keels, a 2022 second-round pick, made just three appearances at the NBA level as a rookie and was slated to spend a second straight season on a two-way deal. However, the Knicks opted to give that spot to ex-Cavaliers wing Dylan Windler instead. Even if he had occupied one of New York's three two-way slots in 2023-24, Keels still would have been likely to see the overwhelming majority of his minutes with the Westchester Knicks. Though the Knicks will retain his G League rights, Keels is still able to sign with another team on a two-way deal or Exhibit 10 contract in advance of training camp.

Knicks' Trevor Keels: Sticking with Knicks
Rotowire
Keels agreed to a two-way contract with the Knicks on Wednesday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Keels will remain on a two-way deal with New York for a second consecutive season. Though he was under contract with the Knicks for all but a brief period of the 2022-23 campaign, Keels made just three appearances at the NBA level as a rookie. He's likely to spend most of the upcoming season with the G League's Westchester Knicks again.

Knicks' Trevor Keels: Available Monday
Rotowire
Keels (foot) has been cleared to play Monday against the Rockets.
An earlier report indicated that Keels wouldn't play, but the most recent injury report has him listed as "available." Either way, it's unlikely he'll actually touch the court as he's a negligible part of New York's rotation.

Rotowire

Keels, one of New York's two two-way players, suited up for the G League club for the first time since March 11 after making a recovery from the concussion.

Knicks' Trevor Keels: Re-signed to two-way pact
Rotowire
Keels signed a two-way contract with the Knicks on Sunday.
Keels is back under contract with New York for the third time this season after previously playing on another two-way pact along with a 10-day deal. Though he's been on the Knicks' books for most of his rookie campaign, Keels has played in just two games at the NBA level.

Trevor Keels: Loses roster spot
Rotowire
The Knicks elected not to re-sign Keels after his 10-day contract expired Sunday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Keels will remain in the organization as a member of the G League's Westchester Knicks, with whom he most recently appeared in a game for Tuesday. A second-round rookie out of Duke, Keels had spent most of the season as one of the Knicks' two two-way players, but New York converted him to a 10-day deal when the team signed Duane Washington to a two-way pact in late February. Over the course of his two-way deal and 10-day deal, Keels appeared in just two games at the NBA level.

Knicks' Trevor Keels: Back in action Sunday

Keels (back) played 33 minutes Sunday in the G League's Westchester Knicks' 121-120 win over the Windy City Bulls, finishing with 16 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three assists, two steals, one rebound and one block.
Keels missed Westchester's 122-117 loss to the Delaware Blue Coats on Friday due to back tightness, but he was back in action Sunday under no apparent restriction. The two-way guard will likely continue to move back and forth between the NBA and G League the rest of the season, seeing most of his playing time in the latter league.

Rotowire
Keels was recalled from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.
Keels was sent to the G League on Tuesday but will rejoin the parent club a day later. However, he's appeared in just one game for New York this season, so his presence shouldn't significantly impact the team's rotation.

Knicks' Trevor Keels: Back to G League
Rotowire
The Knicks assigned Keels to the G League's Westchester Knicks on Tuesday.
For one of the few times all season, Keels suited up for Monday's game against the Celtics, but he didn't see the floor in the Knicks' 109-94 win. He'll now head back to the G League and should get the chance to play meaningful minutes for Westchester in Wednesday's game against the Delaware Blue Coats.

Knicks' Trevor Keels: Called up from G League
Rotowire
New York recalled Keels from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.
Keels could get the chance to dress for Monday's game against the Celtics, but he's unlikely to see the floor outside of a garbage-time scenario. The rookie second-round pick out of Duke has made just one one-minute appearance for the NBA team this season, which came back in October.

Knicks' Trevor Keels: Inks 10-day deal
Rotowire
The Knicks signed Keels to a 10-day contract Thursday.
Keels was previously operating under a two-way contract and has appeared in just one contest at the NBA level this season. However, at the G League level, the 6-foot-5 wing is averaging 14.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 31.3 minutes across 17 appearances (all starts) for Westchester. Even with his new contract, the rookie second-round pick isn't expected to garner a fantasy-relevant role anytime soon.

Rotowire
Keels has joined New York ahead of Friday's game against the 76ers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Keels is with the Knicks on a two-way deal, and he should suit up for the parent club Friday since the team is shorthanded following the trade deadline. He played just one minute during his lone appearance with New York earlier this season.
