Mike Conley is returning to the Minnesota Timberwolves two weeks after he was traded away in a deadline move, the team announced Tuesday. The Wolves traded Conley to the Chicago Bulls in a three-team deal as a way to shed the remaining amount of the veteran point guard's $10 million salary for this season. The Bulls subsequently moved Conley to the Charlotte Hornets, who eventually waived him. Because he was traded a second time before being waived, Conley was free to sign back with Minnesota.

Gueye appeared to trip Reid, who got up and immediately got in the face of Gueye, setting off a scuffle. Players, coaches and arena staff tried to separate the two, but the pushing and shoving continued and Atlanta center Jock Landale fell to the floor in the fracas. At one point, Reid threatened a punch, but no punches were thrown.

Free agent guard Mike Conley Jr. plans to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. The sides are working on timing of him re-signing, according to sources. Conley began the week as a member of the Wolves, but was traded to Chicago as part of a three-team trade. The Bulls quickly flipped him to Charlotte in a separate deadline move.

The 22.3 points Randle has scored per game this season is 1.2 fewer than his prop total set for Monday (23.5). He has collected 6.9 rebounds per game, 0.4 more than his prop bet for Monday's game (6.5). Randle has averaged 5.4 assists per game this year, 0.1 less than his prop bet on Monday (5.5). Randle has hit 1.6 three pointers per game, 0.1 more than his over/under in Monday's game (1.5).

As an organization, we are heartbroken for what we are having to witness and endure and watch, and we just want to extend our thoughts, prayers and concern for Mr. Pretti, his family, all the loved ones and everyone involved in such an unconscionable situation in a community that we really love, full of people who are by nature, peaceful and prideful.

Yes, I know you're afraid that the Chicago Bulls, riding a four-game winning streak, might not sell at the deadline and instead convince themselves this team deserves a real run. Trust me, it haunts my dreams too. But even one trade, say, for Coby White-if enticing enough, might actually twist Artūras Karnišovas' arm and force the issue. Over the last few weeks, we've seen a flood of Coby White trade rumors and reports.

Wembanyama scored a team-high 39 points for the Spurs in a contest that featured the stars combining for 94 points, the most by opposing No. 1 picks in the modern draft era (1966), according to ESPN Research. "It was fun," Wembanyama said. "Not the most fun, but it was a fun game for sure. And this one is worth a lot because of the way the West looks right now."

"The toughest team," Smart said, "sets the rules." "I've been in this league for 12 years and that's always been the motto," the former NBA defensive player of the year continued. "You see it. The team that comes out more physical, the momentum is kind of going their way, and that's how it is. We want to be the toughest team from start to the end."

The last two seasons have been two of the Timberwolves' most successful ... ever. However, coming off back-to-back Western Conference Finals appearances, they had a largely uneventful offseason in terms of external improvement. Their most notable move was drafting French big Joan Beringer No. 17 overall last June. He's raw, but he's very athletic and a very good shot-blocker. It will take time for him to learn and bulk up, but I think it was a worthy dart throw.
