Ingles is a smart veteran who is capable of running an offense and also knocks down the deep ball at a high clip.
I'm genuinely excited to see these two get some time on the floor together.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have re-signed head coach Chris Finch to a four-year contract extension that will keep him in Minnesota through the 2027-28 season, a source confirms to KSTP.Under Finch, the Timberwolves went 56-26 during the 2023-24 season, the second-highest win total in team history, a...
NBA top 100 from The Ringer has Ant at 8
The Ringer's hub for all things basketball. Including player rankings, League Pass value, and more.
Timberwolves on the list:
- 8 - Anthony Edwards
- 32 - Karl-Anthony Towns
- 34 - Rudy Gobert
- 65 - Jaden McDaniels
- 79 - Naz Reid
- 91 - Mike Conley
Crazy that it's been a whole year already. This is a great instance, very well maintained, and I'm grateful for all of the hard work that goes into it.
It's always disappointing when it ends but this was by far the most exciting season in 20 years.

Maybe true that the Nuggets have looked more like themselves, but Timberwolves have not looked like themselves. Crazy that 4 games in and we still haven't seen a game thats really been competitive between these two teams.
Is this any different than the reports that coaches always file after literally every game about officiating errors?
Baffling decision by the NBA to not suspend him for doing something so blatently dangerous and disrespectful. The man is throwing a toddler tantrum and the NBA is basically just looking the other way. If it was an accident that happened once, I would understand, but it was multiple objects.
Minnesota center Rudy Gobert becomes the 3rd player in NBA history to win the award 4 times, joining Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace.
4th DPOY trophy for the big man.
Every win is somehow more impressive than the last.
Second-year coach Darvin Ham was fired by the Lakers after earning the seventh seed and suffering a first-round playoff loss to the Denver Nuggets.
Well, clearly Pat is in the wrong here. He will be fined and (I would guess) suspended for the start of next season, assuming someone picks him up. And it isn't like he isn't known for being hotheaded at times, but I would really like to know what the fans were saying, because this seems over the top, even for him.
Injuries obviously played a huge factor in the playoffs, but firing their coach mid-season while they had the 2nd best record in the East did not help this team compete for a top spot.
I'm genuinely curious who he thinks are the only three teams that aren't interested.
Sources: Wolves coach Finch having knee surgery Wednesday
Timberwolves coach Chris Finch will have surgery Wednesday to repair his right patellar tendon after colliding with one of his players Sunday against the Suns.
Unclear if he'll be able to coach in game 1 on Saturday, but he should be clear to travel with the team.

KD on Ant: I'm so impressed with Ant. So impressed with Ant... Love everything about Ant. Everything.
Full text of this comment:
I'm so impressed with Ant. So impressed with Ant. My favorite player to watch. Just grown so much since he came into the league. At 22, just his love for the game just shines bright. And that's something that's probably... that's one of the reasons why I like him the most, because he just loves basketball, he's grateful to be in this position, and he's taken advantage of every opportunity he's gotten. Love everything about Ant. Everything. And, be watching him going forward. You know he's going to go out there and play extremely hard every single night. But was really impressed with him, and he's going to be somebody I'm following for the rest of his career.
They called the Timberwolves the fucking underdogs in this series.
It seems that way. Really illustrates one of the main problems with these awards. I don't know what the rationale could possibly be for those voters.
This has to be posturing from Old Glen, right? Clearly he's dissatisfied with something and just trying to apply a little pressure. Right? He sees the current success and wants to sell for more money, RIGHT???
Please god let this nightmare end.
