Minneapolis, MN -- (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Timberwolves re-signed restricted free agent forward Ryan Gomes on Tuesday.

Gomes is coming off his best season, averaging 12.6 points and 5.8 rebounds after being part of a six-player trade which brought him over from Boston last summer.

"We're really happy to have re-signed Ryan. He was one of our most consistent performers last year, and one of our top priorities this offseason was keeping him in a Wolves uniform," Timberwolves Vice President of Basketball Operations Kevin McHale said. "Ryan is the consummate professional and a great asset to our organization both on the court and in the community."

For the first time in his career, Gomes appeared in all 82 games for the Wolves, starting 74 (including the final 58 contests). Originally selected by Boston with the 50th overall pick (second round) in the 2005 NBA Draft, the Providence product has appeared in 216 NBA games, posting career averages of 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.
