During his time with the Timberwolves this season, Muhammad didn't see much court time to make an impact, averaging career-lows at just 3.8 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.2 assists in 9.4 minutes per game. Even after the knee injury to teammate Jimmy Butler immediately after the All-Star break, Muhammad saw just over three mintues of playing time in a single game.
Muhammad had the best season of his five-year career during his second season with the Wolves, putting up 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists on 49-percent shooting from the field and 39.2 percent from beyond the arc.
It's unclear where Muhammad fits immediately with the Bucks, but the youth and athleticism could certainly help them as they deal with the injury to Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon and nagging injuries to star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
