Retaining Dosunmu was a top priority for the Timberwolves' front office this offseason.
President of basketball operations Tim Connelly had previously stated that re-signing the guard would be a key focus after the team's elimination in the Western Conference semifinals.
Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reported that the 26-year-old would have drawn strong interest from multiple teams if he had reached unrestricted free agency.
Minnesota originally acquired Dosunmu and Julian Phillips from the Chicago Bulls before the February trade deadline.

The Bulls received Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, and four second-round picks in return.
Dosunmu, a 6-foot-4 combo guard, played college basketball at Illinois before being selected 38th overall by the Bulls in the 2021 NBA Draft.
He has consistently exceeded expectations since entering the league.
This past season, he set career highs with averages of 14.8 points, 3.6 assists, and 3.4 rebounds across 69 games for both Chicago and Minnesota.
