Jaylen Clark: "In the NBA, man, it's all this much separation between you and the next guy, especially when you get to the part of the bench that I'm sitting at. It doesn't take much for them to be like, 'All right, well that didn't work, let's go this route.' And then somebody else take your opportunity and now you're traded and moved around and all this stuff and now you find yourself two, three years later out the league. My goal is to play at least 10 years, get the full pension and all the benefits and everything that come with it. So, I just really wanted to show you guys the real and what it takes to be able to make stuff work in this league."
Jon Krawczynski: Rudy Gobert, a noted health food advocate, harvests his own honey from bees on his property. He gives it to his teammates. Jaylen Clark says he's going to start using it this year. Rudy: "He might be first team All-Defense."
Jaylen Clark: "This summer, just trying to work on being comfortable with dribbling and everything, which I have been. I think the past few years I haven't really been showing that to the full capabilities, to my full capabilities. So, I just wanted to bring you guys along as my stop in DC as the season gets closer. It's going to be less of these videos and more just focusing and locking in for the season."
Jaylen Clark: "These are devices that we have in our gym. They tell our strength coaches and dietitians and everybody that monitoring tells them when we need to go ahead and relax on running or relax on doing, coming back at night and shooting and focus on recovering, because they track how much we run, how much energy we're exerting, how fast we go. Based on our data that's collected by this, that can help us in telling us if we need to prioritize recovery or if we're chilling for the night."
Jaylen Clark: "I never pay for parking. This may sound actually insane, but I probably had like $2,000 worth of parking tickets during my time at UCLA. It was actually insane. I'm about to roll the dice again. I'm not paying for that parking ticket. They're going to have to get me in blood."

Jaylen Clark: The another thing that we have is called an NBA licensing check. So, every time you guys play 2K, buy cards for like from Fanatics. We have a a new clothing brand for the NBPA that's coming out called Players United. Anytime you guys spend money with any people that are sponsored with the NBA, we get paid for that. So, this year the licensing check this year was $385,000. That's just for like I said 2K spending money with on cards, jerseys, like everything. So instead of like basically what the license what it does is instead of like LeBron James just making $30 million, all the players have came together and said we're going to include everybody. So everybody gets an equal share. No matter if you're the top dog on your team or you're the bottom dog, we all get the same amount of licensing checks. So that's also a big plus. (…) You have to play 21 or be active for 21 games. If you're not active for 21 games, you do not receive a licensing check. So for example, my first year in the NBA, I did not receive the licensing.
Keith Smith: The Minnesota Timberwolves have tendered a qualifying offer to Jaylen Clark and a two-way qualifying offer to Enrique Freeman, a league source told @spotrac. Clark and Freeman will now be restricted free agents this offseason. Clark has reportedly agreed to a new deal already.
Jon Krawczynski:Jaylen Clark, a restricted free agent, will be returning to the Timberwolves, as most expected. Defensive stalwart is also a good cutter, which should benefit him when he shares the floor with LaMelo Ball.
Ryan Eichten: Chris Finch on what he sees for Terrence Shannon and Jaylen Clark: "It's about creating pathways for those guys to be able to play. You might say like, isn't that the coach's job? But sometimes, you know, there's a gridlock. So we've gotta look at how we can either kind of change things around or get to a point where these guys can get a more consistent role." (2/2)

Charlie Walton: An illness bug has hit the Wolves’ locker room. Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon Jr. pop up, and they are questionable tonight. Anthony Edwards (right knee) remains questionable.
There's also Phoenix Suns' Jalen Green (who has barely played this season due to injury, but averaged 20.9 points over the past three seasons), Minnesota Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark, Denver Nuggets' Jalen Pickett and Brooklyn Nets' Jalen Wilson. That's 14 players, with a balanced mix of stars and role players; guards, wings and bigs; and scorers, shooters, rebounders and defenders. In other words, a team made up of Jalens could win plenty of games. The numbers agree. According to the projection system run by ESPN's Kevin Pelton, if these players all joined forces, Team Jalen would project for the best offense in the league and a 55-27 record.
