Marcus Georges-Hunt is getting another chance in the NBA. The former Georgia Tech guard has signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to a report from The Vertical Tuesday. Georges-Hunt will attend training camp as the Timberwolves have 11 players with guaranteed contracts.

Georges-Hunt also signed a 10-day contract with the Heat but did not appear in a game. He was waived by the Magic in July after playing the Orlando Summer League.
