Chris Hine: Kyle Anderson on the Wolves using Rudy Gobert on offense: "We got to be able to find him. Watching a lot of Timberwolves games these last few months, when I wasn't on the team, I'm like, ‘Oh, they missed Rudy. They missed Rudy.’ Like, get downhill and he's open at the rim a lot. So even if he's not getting the ball or scoring, like the gravity he has pulling that low man in, or us being able to find someone on the perimeter is big time."
Jon Krawczynski: MIN 116, PHX 104. Wolves grind out a really good win against a good team to go up by 3 games on the 7-seed. Randle: 32p, 7r Hyland: 22p, 5a Gobert: 19r Dosunmu: 19p, 5r McDaniels: 16p, 7r, 4a SloMo: 7p, 6a, 5r
Discussing what it was like to play for the Jazz with reporters on Tuesday, Anderson noted that while he liked everyone in Utah, he wasn't a huge fan of their lose-first mentality, as he prefers to go all-out in pursuit of a win. “I don't even want to get into it, honestly. I had a lot of fun in the organization, and everybody in the organization was awesome,” Anderson said. “Obviously, you know, playing not-to-win games gets a little tricky and tough. I didn't enjoy it personally, but, you know, the staff, the players, I love the players. The staff is really cool, the people in the organization are awesome. Nothing bad to say about that.”
Dane Moore: Here's Kyle Anderson when asked what the perception is of Anthony Edwards around the league. "He's a bad boy. That's what everyone sees... That's the same thing that the guys around the league see. That's a bad man right there. Good to be back on his side."

Dane Moore: . @JaceFrederick asked Kyle Anderson where Chris Finch ranks among the coaches he's played for in terms of understanding how Anderson plays his game. "I would say No. 1. I would say No. 1, for sure... It kinda sucks when you play for a coach that doesn't understand it."
Jon Krawczynski: Rudy, smiling, on what they missed most about Slo Mo: "I think just passing the ball. I have to be honest. Someone that will pass the ball to his teammates. It’s simple, right? He’s a connector, someone that makes plays for his teammates."
Dane Moore: The Wolves just officially announced the signing of Kyle Anderson. Anderson will be with the team tomorrow for their home game against Memphis, and Anderson will be eligible for the playoffs.

Marc Stein: There's interest in Khris Middleton. I know Denver would love to get him. I think other teams have registered interest and it's going to be a matter of does he want to force his way into a buyout or does he want to finish the season as a Mav. The rumbles to this point, these are rumbles pre-tonight and I'm not going to sit here and ask him about rumbles, the suspicion is or the leanings were that a buyout was probably unlikely, but we saw that Minnesota maneuvered to get Kyle Anderson and so there are playoff teams that are going to come after him and try to convince Khris Middleton to push for a buyout.
Kyle Anderson was one of the candidates the Nuggets considered, according to league sources, but he chose to reunite with the rival Timberwolves on Thursday after Memphis bought out his contract. “Slo Mo” was on the Minnesota team that Denver eliminated en route to the 2023 NBA title — and the Minnesota team that got payback the next year with a Game 7 comeback at Ball Arena. Khris Middleton (Dallas) is a key name to watch in the next few days, as Denver has already shown interest, sources told The Post. Like Anderson, he could provide the Nuggets with size on the wing and ball-handling, another skillset they’ve felt short on this season with Aaron Gordon in and out of the lineup.
Grizzlies PR: The @Memphis Grizzlies today announced the team signed Taj Gibson to a multi-year contract. In a related move, the Grizzlies reached a buyout agreement with Kyle Anderson.
Jon Krawczynski: At least one other contender was eyeing Kyle Anderson. But Anderson comes back to Minnesota with a coach who believes in him and a front office that treated him and his family well the last time through.
