Anthony Edwards is out for up to two months. What does it mean for the Timberwolves and the rest of their roster? @nbasarah.bsky.social and I broke it down off of Tuesday's breaking news: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWIB...

Can confirm Anthony Edwards will miss some time (believed to be 6-8 weeks) after an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee. Wolves believe they have the depth to stay on the winning side during Edwards' absence and see this as the most opportune time to address the issue

NBA official scoring is confusing things this evening

Putting Bill Kennedy on a game and not making him crew chief is affront to gods and men.

Cody Williams said that his brother is in good spirits and the family is just waiting for results. Sucks for anyone.

Wolves crowd is great tonight. Loving the energy in the building. Wish there were more howls. I feel like the awooos could be used every 10 seconds honestly. Love an awoo

Kawhi Leonard (left knee swelling) won't play vs. Timberwolves tonight in Minnesota

I didn’t know Amanda Seyfried was my hero. But she is.

Joan Beringer is all energy and full of potential. He needs time to develop. The Wolves are going to try to get him that time while also chasing a deep playoff run. At least that’s what the plan is right now.

Lol. Ant seriously can't get anything to fall tonight and it's getting a little crazy that everrrrything is missing. He looked over at Chris Finch after the last possession and Finch just shrugged and said, "I don't know." That really is exactly how it feels. Team still playing well

This might be what it means when they say 'team effort' *halftime box for Wolves

Live Blog for the Timberwolves vs. Magic here in Orlando is up and running!

Literally?? So Darius...where is Keaton's butt now? Once it came off, where did he put it?

Rebounding and rotations. Those are the hurdles facing the Timberwolves.

Nice fresh @stribsports.startribune.com C1 for @nbasarah.bsky.social as Wolves season starts today!

Hiiiiii

Known good defender extends bag:

Can confirm that the Timberwolves and Jaden McDaniels have come to an agreement on a one-year, $40 million extension. Now he'll be under contract through the 2029-2030 season.

BANG!

Catching the match in Minneapolis

Saturday night in my new city!!! *breaks out the carpet cleaner and headphones. Bout to get crazy!

This game better not... I swear to god. It's preseason without any starters...it better not.

I love when announcers have truly nothing to say about players. Just exclaiming where they went to college like it's the most interesting thing in the world because it's the only thing they can say lol. No notes!

lol, preseason basketball is so funny. And it's so much like the last four years of the Jazz. oh boy.

I think that the Joan Beringer experience is very much going to be a 'he giveth and taketh away' one.

Oh hey, there's Bez Mbeng. Huh.

If I had given it any thought at all...a Saturday game in Miami in the preseason with two days off before...Really should have known that there were gonna be some guys that didn't play in this one.

I did a mini intro on the live blog of the first preseason game and also on Rand's podcast. But a more official intro and a Q&A are coming very soon! I only had a few days before I needed to get to Minnesota, find a place to live and all sorts of other life things, still in a basically empty house

I'm not suuuuper complaining...just complaining a little bit. Anyway, tonight's live blog of the game is up and underway:

Real money from people who have subscribed (at least fans) kinda feels like a good enough reason to have a local broadcast

Wolves people, please correct me if I'm wrong. When watching on DAZN are you forced to watch the Heat broadcast tonight? Is there a way to change to local broadcast that I can't figure out. I seem to remember that it was the same the last couple games...at least for me lol

It's nice to see that Bones Hyland is exactly as I remember

Holy arms, Billy!

Seems timely to remind people (in light of Nurk having to miss time) that Jaxson Hayes was on video pushing and spitting at his partner with her yelling about not feeling safe and the NBA has seemingly not ever handed down any consequences. Feel bad for Jazz fans who will have to cheer for that.

Right now, in preseason game 2, the drop-off from starters to bench feels really steep for the Wolves. Obviously things are going to change and look different, but it's how it feels right now

Live again with a blog following tonight's preseason game between Timberwolves and Pacers

How can you not love Enrique Freeman?

Statement from the Trail Blazers in response to Braiden Bell's lawyer publicly asking for his reinstatement as play-by-play broadcaster: "We stand by our statement issued last week and have no further comment at this time. We wish Mr. Bell the best."

Only three more sleeps til I have a couch. 😍

There is A LOT of context to the fact that Cody Williams had a "good" second half of the season last year. I'm a big believer in his defensive game...but there are question marks all over the other side.

Point of clarification: If the Ariel Hukporti injury is worst case scenario, and even if Sixers get a Disabled Player Exception as a result, they still would not be able to exceed the first apron, which is a hard cap b/c they used the full, non-tax MLE. DPE does not clear space under the hard cap.

Ryan Rollins bleeding from the face, Ariel Hukporti looks like he's gonna be out for a while (was that an Achilles?? on day one???), and John Collins trying to choke Dillon Brooks. NBA preseason is so weird.

Oh hey...if Wolves fans are interested. Here's an Enrique Freeman deep dive I did while I was covering the Jazz, for no reason other than being a draft sicko.

Can’t wait for Wolves fans to find out how big of a nerd I am. My draft obsession, going down late-night spirals on stuff like pin downs and stutter steps per player, the disconnect between Rudy’s shoulders and hands.

Hey hey, we're live blogging the Wolves preseason opener over here at the Star Tribune. Come on in, ask questions, leave comments, whatever you want!

I’d like to apologize to the people of the Northeast Minneapolis. I’m sorry you weren’t dedicated trainers and that failed against us. Was that your home gym? Oh well. Sorry, not sorry.
