@whatsontapnba The biggest one to me is will Kuminga and Lamelo be able to stay locked in and stay focused on winning? They’ve got the talent so if they can we’re in a good spot

@LifeOfAChamp_ @TMGSportsRep @aenazjaden @PolymarketHoops Steve Kerr made a decision to start Booker because he is a great glue guy to complement the other Team USA starters while Ant would be their #1 scorer off the bench. That decision from 2 years ago has nothing to do with who was a better player. It’s about the fit in the role.

@SleeperTWolves Love Naz but if we’re retiring Naz’s jersey then you have to retire KAT’s. KAT did so much for this franchise.

@DenSen228D @AnimexBase For sure agree with that

Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert isn’t traveling with team to LA and won’t play vs. the Lakers on Tuesday in the Play-In tournament, sources tell ESPN.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

The Timberwolves had to suspend Gobert for throwing a punch, but accepted that it was a shot to chest with no intent to injure Kyle Anderson and understood that Anderson called Gobert a “bitch” repeatedly on a night Gobert was playing hurt, sources tell ESPN.

Timberwolves rising star Jaden McDaniels has suffered a broken right hand, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

McDaniels' impact has been immense this season, especially on the defensive end. He's one of six players to defend 2022-2023 All-Stars at least 1,000 times this season, per @StatsWilliams. Now, he's lost vs. LeBron James and Lakers in Play-In game on Tuesday -- and beyond.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

ESPN Sources: Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert escalated a verbal argument to a physical encounter after Kyle Anderson told him to “Shut the f--- up, bitch.” The disagreement started with Anderson telling Gobert to block some shots, Gobert telling him to grab a rebound – and ended with a punch and Gobert getting sent home.

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

Gobert later sent an apologetic text to teammates in a group chat, per Mike Conley. “We'll speak about it and move on,” he said. “We're grown men.”
