Timberwolves forward Naz Reid has won the 2023-2024 NBA Sixth Man of the Year award after a stellar season for Minnesota. Reid won the award over Kings guard Malik Monk, whom many believed would win the award, and Bucks forward Bobby Portis Jr.
Minnesota Timberwolves’ center/forward Naz Reid took home the 2023-2024 Kia NBA Sixth Man of the Year, the league announced Wednesday night. Reid, 24, won the award by the closest of margins over the Sacramento Kings’ Malik Monk.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert is the only active multi-time NBA Award winner that’s become a pariah in the very same league that he’s dominated in.
ESPN Bet's X account listed him at +7500 to win Sixth Man of the Year before the season began. He beat Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk by two first-place votes, a narrow margin.
After spending so many years in mediocrity, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves are finally living up to their full potential. That’s why the All-Star shooting guard claimed he and Karl-Anthony Towns are the NBA’s best duo this season.
Naz Reid entered the NBA as an undrafted free agent with no guarantee of a long pro career. Now the fifth-year center is officially the best reserve in the NBA after being named Sixth Man of the Year on Wednesday evening.
The 24-year-old was a major reason why Minnesota didn’t skip a beat when Karl-Anthony Towns was sidelined with a knee injury late in the season. The Wolves went 14-6 without Towns and 56-26 overall, good for the No. 3 seed in the West.
So far, the Minnesota Timberwolves are making the Phoenix Suns look old and helpless in their first-round playoff series. All that, and Anthony Edwards (15 points, 3-of-12 shooting) and Karl-Anthony Towns (12 points) looked like mere mortals in the Wolves’ Game 2 win on Tuesday.
The Minnesota Timberwolves took a 2-0 series lead over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday with another decisive home win. And following the 105-93 victory, which included a big night from Minnesota wing Jaden McDaniels, a seemingly prophetic Anthony Edwards statement about McDaniels and Kevin Durant from year ago resurfaced.
The Suns trail the Timberwolves by two games in their first-round playoff series.
There's no denying that Edwards is incredibly confident.
Gobert was given the dubious honor over fellow "overrated" players such as Wizards guard Jordan Poole and Hawks guard Trae Young.
NBA referees — or referees in any sport, for that matter — are supposed to remain neutral when actively officiating. But some fans were side-eye glancing at NBA referee Zach Zarba on Tuesday for his one brief interaction with Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards.
The Phoenix Suns went into Target Center today to play Game 2 of the first-round playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Minnesota Timberwolves came into game 2 against the Phoenix Suns expecting a battle. And while it eventually became that, it was the Wolves who punched first, jumping out to an early 10 point lead in the 1st quarter.
Even a couple of Edwards’ teammates looked a bit surprised to see Zarba extend his hand toward the All-Star.
Over the last few years, former MLB superstar Alex Rodriguez and businessman Marc Lore have been gathering equity in order to slowly take over ownership of the Minnesota Timberwolves from long-time owner Glen Taylor.
A mediation session regarding the Timberwolves‘ ownership dispute between Glen Taylor and a group led by Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez has been scheduled for May 1 in Minneapolis, sources tell ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Athletic released the results this week of an anonymous NBA player poll that it recently conducted.
Since the moment it was announced that Glen Taylor was voiding the Minnesota Timberwolves purchase agreement that he, Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez had previously signed 3+ years earlier, the battle for majority ownership of the Wolves has been extremely public, toxic and muddy.
