With yesterday’s focus on Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez’s press conference to officially announce them as the controlling owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, the attention shifts back to the court as the Wolves took on the Denver Nuggets for their second game in the 2K26 NBA Summer League.
There were a lot of notable Timberwolves people in the building for the game. Lore, Rodriguez, Chris Finch, and Micah Nori were all sitting outside. Naz Reid was greeted with a chant of “five more years,” with the crowd exploding when Anthony Edwards sat down on the right baseline.
Even Nickeil Alexander-Walker came by to say hello to his former teammates.
The Wolves rolled with the same starting five as their first game, including the four players from last year’s team along with rookie Joan Beringer. The Timberwolves took a double-digit lead in the first half and never looked back. Terrence Shannon Jr. yet again had the exclamation point on the game with a monster slam late in the fourth quarter that got the entire crowd excited, including Edwards sitting right behind the basket.
The Wolves won by a score of 94-83 to bring their Summer League record to 2-0. Shannon led the way with 24 points and seven rebounds, with Rob Dillingham putting up 15 points and nine assists.
