Lynx Legend Sylvia Fowles’ No. 34 went into the rafters at Target Center last night. I wrote about a wonderful celebration of a truly special, one-of-a-kind human being — Sweet Syl — whom I will remember for everything fans didn’t see. For @canishoopus: canishoopus.com/2023/6/12/2375…

@REichten @SInow Very well deserved Ryan! Can't wait to watch you crush it!

Some personal news: I have a new gig! I am now a contributor for Minnesota Timberwolves on SI to write about all things Wolves. I'm beyond pumped to join SI to continue providing the best Timberwolves coverage that I can. @SInow has put together an outstanding staff of writers and I think we are going to put out a ton of really good Timberwolves content so come check it all out starting on Monday

@andrew_carlson2 @SInow hell yeah brother, super well deserved. Congrats!!

Following the wave… I’ll be joining Timberwolves On SI and writing this coming season. In case you haven’t seen the other announcements, @SInow has put the Heatles together. I just hope I can be Norris Cole. Hard to imagine a few years ago I’d be in this spot, but I’m extremely grateful for a lot of outstanding mentors and staff members that have helped me get better. I’ll be starting in a couple weeks. Let’s roll!

Have seen some “omg LeBron and Anthony Edwards are gonna be at Fanatics” coming across the TL … they’re scheduled to do separate events tomorrow, not appear together, just FYI. LeBron’s event is scheduled to end one hour before Ant’s begins.

@JaceFrederick Model off to a hot start

Roughly a million simulations, thousands of various inputs and three, painstaking days later … The model has made its call: The expected leader in strokes gained: class, strokes gained: gusto and strokes gained: artistry lifts the Claret Jug this week …. Patrick Reed

Terrence Shannon Jr. (@Sn1per_T) will wear No. 4 for the #Timberwolves. Number last worn by Julian Phillips in 2026. #NBA

Attacking off the catch effectively is going to be a big determinant in how high Evans’ ceiling can be. Definitely will be something to monitor this upcoming season

Wolves Boss Tim Connelly with @DanBarreiroKFAN now, talking about LaMelo Ball: "He's got such natural instincts as a playmaker. There's a small set of guys in our league that see the game like he does." KFAN.com/listen

This to me would indicate that it’d be TJ Shannon. 6-6, 220 and is physical and athletic enough to defend and rebound. Leaning into getting him as many reps as possible is great with me

Tim Connelly told .@DanBarreiroKFAN just now that Anthony Edwards has "as big a voice" as anybody in the building on roster moves. Connelly also noted that Edwards has "long talked about" LaMelo Ball, thinking that he would be a "great addition."

Good for Isaiah Evans to see a couple 3s go down early in today's Summer League matchup, to add onto some impressive ball pressure in previous games. Evans is 2/5 from deep thus far, bouncing back from shooting 0/15 on 3s across his first two outings.

Wolves star LaMelo Ball and President of Basketball Ops Tim Connelly discussed recruiting LeBron James during Ball's intro presser. (via @Timberwolves)

ain’t this what they’ve been waiting for?

TUFF.

LaMelo Ball (@MELOD1P) will wear No. 1 for the #Timberwolves. Number last worn by Terrence Shannon Jr. in 2026. #NBA

LaMelo Ball is buying lunch for the entire Wolves business staff after his introductory press conference.

🤩🤩🤩

Wolves POBO Tim Connelly on rounding out the roster: "We’re down two great power forwards … There’s a couple free agents still available. We’re working one or two of them right now. We’ll see if that comes to fruition."
