Wolves GM: Matt Lloyd: "The opportunity came up to sign Jonathan Kuminga, which again was the product of many, many phone calls and a lot of time investment. My wife asked me at one point, how many times has he called you? She was referencing Jonathan Kuminga's agent. How many times have you been on the phone with him since the middle of July? So I said, okay, I will look, and we went through my phone and we had 94 phone calls between July 15th to the day we signed Jonathan. Anthony Edwards was really instrumental in recruiting him to come here. We had several conversations with him, his representatives, and from Chris Finch to Tim Connelly to Alonzo Gee, who is on our staff, everything just came together."

Michael Porter Jr: "My energy output this last year was so much higher than in Denver because of how much I was relied on and the defenders I had on me. Every team's putting their best defender on me. I'm going from Ausar Thompson to Jaden McDaniels to this guy to that guy every game. My energy output, I just think I got to really work on like Steph does, really being in shape, so all game I can just move off the ball. I think I could be the best off-ball player in the NBA because I'm good at cutting around the rim. My finish percentage around the rim is like real high. And then, you know, catch and shoot threes and things like that. I think if I'm in good shape, I could be the best off-ball player in the NBA. So I think that's the main thing off the court. And then on the court, I think getting in that mid-post, face up, when stuff gets tough at the end of the game, mid-post face up, not a ton of dribbles, you know, one-dribble pull-up, jab shot. I think I got to master that a little bit better."
After several teasers during his 2026 “Believe That” Asia tour this past summer, Anthony Edwards’ third Adidas signature shoe has officially been unveiled. The Adidas Anthony Edwards 3 will launch starting this Friday in the blue-based “Cold Blooded” colorway.
In addition to the sneaker’s debut, the brand has created a new sketch show dubbed “Minnatlantasota,” which premiered on Sept. 12, and new episodes will launch on the 5th of each month throughout the upcoming NBA season. The show features Edwards alongside various Adidas athletes and comics.
The Nuggets’ 2026 playoff run ended disappointingly quickly, with the team losing in six games to the Timberwolves in the first round. One reason the team struggled to gain traction was the absence of their Swiss Army Knife forward, Aaron Gordon. Gordon played just three games in that series and only reached 30 minutes in one of them as he dealt with calf tightness. It was a fitting end to an injury-riddled season that saw him play just 33 regular-season games, but after a recent one-day camp, he said that he’s feeling good about next season. “I did a lot of soul-searching [this offseason] and training, so I got my mind right and my body right,” he said, per DNVR Nuggets (Twitter video link). “I’m ready to go.”
Jonathan Kuminga decided to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves over the Lakers after months of speculation and rumors. Do you believe that there's now a legitimate opportunity for you to be a starter for Los Angeles right out of the gate? Ziaire Williams: “Yeah, I do, and I mean that's the GM's job, right to put the best pieces together to try to win a championship. I don't think it's altered whether or not Kuminga was here. I wish him the best of luck in Minnesota, but as a team, we’re focused on the guys we have and making a deep playoff run and winning an NBA championship and I think we have the tools to do so.”

“Them wanting me to be here, it felt real,” Kuminga said of the Wolves. “They were very genuine people, and these are people you could sit down with and have a conversation. A lot of people, you can’t sit down with and have an actual conversation with about certain things, and I think that’s when I felt the vibe — including Ant. Me and him sat on the phone and spoke about certain things, and that just made me feel very comfortable. I think making a decision was very easy after talking to Alonzo and Tim and the rest of the guys.”
“As long as I come here every day and I’m a winner, a good teammate and a good person, everything will take care of itself,” Kuminga said. “I don’t need to do things that I haven’t done before. I don’t think that’s my purpose or what I’m looking forward to. It’s just trying to win.”

Ayo Dosunmu: "I try to make deep improvements. I'm trying to be elite, not just good. I don't even need to be elite. So, you got to push a little bit harder. That's the goal. Do it now, every day, push it, push it, push it. I want to get a little bit better each day. I'm not looking for a huge margin, just a little better each day. And over time, after you get the separation."
