Former NBA MVP Derrick Rose has signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team announced Thursday.

League sources told ESPN that Rose has signed for the rest of the 2017-18 season.

The deal reunites him with coach Tom Thibodeau and former Chicago Bulls teammates Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson.

After the Cleveland Cavaliers traded him as part of a three-team deal at the deadline last month, the Utah Jazz waived Rose, allowing him to become a free agent.

Rose played sparingly for the Cavaliers this season, leaving the team for two weeks with personal issues. Rose was the 2011 NBA MVP with the Bulls and a three-time All-Star guard. Several knee injuries curtailed his dominance.

The Timberwolves (38-28) host the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.
