Mike Conley on if he was trying to start trouble at the end of the game passing it up to Jaden McDaniels “(Laughs) nah that was a slip up, that’s all on me I take the blame… as soon as I threw it I looked and I was like “ah it’s Jaden” I almost put my hands on my head and I was like “maybe he won’t” and then as soon as I saw him when the ball kind of bounced a couple times “it’s over man” you can even see me like lower my head”

Jaden McDaniels saying good bye to his soon as he leaves the press room “Bye bye bruh” McDaniels on being a father “Ah, it’s been fun. The road trip is like my away time. It’s just like to myself. But I’ll be ready to get back home sometimes just to see him run around and just get into everything as y’all see. He just does what he wants, doesn’t listen, but it’s pretty fun. At first I didn’t think it would be this cool to be a dad, but it’s pretty fun, just seeing him learn, seeing how smart babies are, how strong they are, how bad they are. But it’s pretty cool though.”

Naz Reid on supporting Karl Anthony Towns and the Knicks run in the playoffs now that the Wolves season is over “I'm trying to get out there back home for sure, trying to see him play in person, you know, from a spectator aspect, that's a brother for sure, he's I've been years in with him as well, so and him being also being from Jersey, I've known him long before, you know, NBA, so I mean, just trying to make sure you know, give the same love to him that he's indicated to us, and so forth and so on, and obviously want to be there for him as much as much as I can be, he's been there for me more than you guys know, so I mean, just, you know, showing that love is least I can do”

Anthony Edwards on eliminating the step on his free throw (spoiler it’s Mark Cuban’s fault) “Some famous guy went on Instagram or went on a podcast and was talking about my free throws and he brought it to the attention of everybody so I had to change it” On changing a free throw form mid career “It’s hard but like as much as I be in the gym it shouldn’t be that hard so like I try to shoot like 200 free throws a day”

Lindsay Whalen on retired WNBA players receiving money based off of years of service thanks to the new CBA. “I guess dinners on me then(smiles)… 100k for 15 years so.. I got expensive dogs, so they eat expensive food, that money can go to the next vet bill that they run up or the next round of golf… I highly highly appreciate that”

Cheryl Reeve on if the expectation is for Napheesa Collier is to sign with the Lynx long term “I think that would be really unfair, I have no expectations because next year Phee is a free agent that means… 14 teams will be after Phee, 15 if you include Minnesota and Phee has never been a free agent before because she was cored… again each player, each journey is different, maybe something different on their minds, it would have been really easy for Phee to say “give me a super max for 4 years and I’m set financially” it wasn’t the path she wanted and we have to respect that and plan accordingly”

Jaden McDaniels on how to get over the moodiness the Wolves have as a team “…If it’s not your night, just be happy for the next person who’s having a good game or whoever’s stepping up that night. I feel like that’s the first part, and then just really being together. Like I know we’re all cool, we’re all friends and stuff like that, so it shouldn’t matter who’s having a good game, but I for sure think if we can get rid of that a little bit we’ll be way better.”

Courtney Williams on her first impressions of her PG Olivia Miles “I mean she a little killer, aye man, I said “look let me move out your way”… happy to have her, happy to be back at my natural position and she out here killing it man, like I said this little joker here is like a baby Chelsea Gray, like she gonna be cold, she gonna be so cold. I’m excited to just be apart of the journey”

Donte DiVincenzo on what he did in Minnesota outside of basketball all summer “Got out on the boat a lot on the lack’s, (went to) a bunch of different restaurants and coffee shops. Just trying to be outside as much as possible because(laughs) during the season you don’t get to enjoy it as much. Ever sense we got here my family has been hearing about how beautiful the summertimes are and it definitely lived up to it”

Joe Ingles on if he’ll be Nikola Jokic on the Wolves scout team “Hell yeah. I was Luka last year, got us prepared great. I’ll be whoever. I’m being one of their starters. That was the funnest part of the year for me last year, playing 400 pick-and-rolls in a few days. I’ll be whoever, but I’ll be the best version of that person. Be a bit of fun.”

Mike Conley on Jimmy Butler Drama and the Warriors storylines “I might not have the best appreciation for the whole Jimmy thing(smiling) I wasn’t here, but I do know what it means to the city, and golden state as itself…Draymond and the whole choking people out… it’s exciting”

Anthony Edwards on Tyrese Maxey and getting dunked on “He’s incredible man, he already know he’s one of my favorite players to watch in the league. He dunked on me today too, I don’t really like that(laughs)… I didn’t know he was going downhill, I just ended up turning my head. I’m thinking he was going to lay it up then he went and punched it”

Cheryl Reeve on how Courtney Williams and Olivia Miles have created chemistry so quickly “I don’t know, Liv is just a great player, and they recognize it… chemistry can be fragile and there is no one walking around going “Olivia Miles is getting all the attention, everybody’s talking about Olivia Miles” nobody cares, and Liv notices, and she’s going “oh no it’s for real, their aren’t actually egos on this team” and she’s hasn’t even seen Napheesa Collier play yet(smiles). And so I think for her it’s a little surprising. Courtney doesn’t have an ego, as you guys know Coruney is Livs best hype person, wants her to go go go, and Mac is the what I call older sibling, who is trying to stay in her ear… and gives her a calm”

Naz Ried on his name being in the J. Cole track The Fall Off (Incredibly wholesome answer, listen to it all if you can) “That was fire, I had no clue, I didn’t know he knew me. That was crazy, the bar was crazy, I mean especially being a song from the album and it’s really good. If you ask me that’s the best song, not because of my name but you could add that in there… I woke up and a few people told me about it, and I was like what are you talking about. Then I checked out, it’s a good song and I’ve been playing it sense, you know, got to make sure everybody hear it”

David Adelman on Jaden McDaniels post game comments “just playing Denver really motivates us” “I don’t really care what McDaniels said(laughs). I think we just didn’t play well yesterday. I think it does bring a competitive nature from everybody, it’s the playoffs. We know we have to play better we talked about that. You know, talking is one thing, you actually have to do it...”

Anthony Edwards on how he improved in reading the floor “That’s because of my boy right here(DiVincenzo)… Donte does a great job of coming and telling me what they’re doing out there defensively. Because sometimes I don’t really recognize it” #WolvesBack

Olivia Miles on how hard it is to be a rookie point guard “It’s really hard because you really have to step outside your comfort zone like as a rookie I do badly want to shut up and say nothing and just watch and listen but as a point guard your duty is to literally direct people and be a quarterback and put people in situations and put a 15 year vet, a 10 year vet in her right spot. It’s weird, it’s a weird thing to do but it comes with the territory, you just have to be comfortable and confident”
