He looked at the bench’s soft performance in the first 10 games as a personal indictment. He is proud of what he has done here, proud of the folk hero status he has earned in the fan base. Now 26 years old, he has taken it upon himself to mentor the younger players in the second unit, such as Rob Dillingham, Jaylen Clark, and Terrence Shannon Jr. “This is my group, and this is what we have to do,” Reid said. “I know what I have to do to get us going, whether it’s keeping the score going up towards the positive side, or getting the lead back. It’s how I became who I am, and how I became Sixth Man, and put myself in those (positions). So I know what it takes, and I’ve got to lead.”

Delon Wright, signed just before the start of preseason camp, suffered a head injury in a collision with Minnesota's Jaylen Clark in the first half of the Pacers' overtime win over the Timberwolves in their first preseason game on Tuesday night. On Thursday morning, the Pacers announced on their social media accounts that they waived Wright and have signed veteran point guard Cameron Payne, who was Wright's teammate with the Knicks last season.
The Timberwolves do have a few young guards and wings, including Terrence Shannon Jr., Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham, who the team believes are ready to step in and take Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s minutes should he move on. The Atlanta Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat are among a number of teams to watch in the hunt for Alexander-Walker.
Christopher Hine: Chris Finch from pregame tonight on Jaylen Clark: "The first regret I had the other night is I should've played him 20 minutes instead of 12."
Christopher Hine: Anthony Edwards on what he told Jaylen Clark tonight: "The play he made today ... by our bench in the second half was crazy. I told him you look like Pat Bev when he was 26."
The Minnesota Timberwolves are shoring up their roster ahead of the stretch run, converting two-way guard Jaylen Clark to a standard contract while planning to pick up notable free agent guard Bones Hyland. The Timberwolves have agreed to a fully guaranteed, two-year deal with Clark, the 6-foot-4 swingman who has showcased tremendous energy over the past month, his agent Todd Ramasar of Life Sports Agency told ESPN on Wednesday.

After converting Clark on Thursday, the Timberwolves will sign Hyland, a 2021 first-round pick, to a two-way deal, agent Austin Walton of NEXT Sports told ESPN. The move reunites Hyland with Timberwolves president Tim Connelly, who selected him No. 26 overall in Denver, where he was a two-time Rising Star selection. Clark fully entered the Timberwolves' rotation on Jan. 29, and he has averaged 6.9 points and 1.7 rebounds in 11 February games while shooting 47.4% from the field and 44% from 3-point land. He's scored in double figures in three games, with 17, 14 and 11 points.
