Jimmy Butler said that the Philadelphia 76ers were locked in following their win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.

“We can do something special. We talk about it every single day. Everything we do, we’re locked in, focused. We know what we can do. We know what paper says we can do. We know what people expect us to do. Name it. We got to be the ones to go out there and do it. And the crazy thing is, I know that we’re capable of doing it,” said Butler.

Butler added that there was no lingering animosity between him and the Timberwolves' organization.

“It’s basketball, bruh. I’ve still got a pretty decent relationship with a lot of guys over there. I don’t think nobody is going to take nothing personal. I’m cool with that. I’m a 76er right now, and we’re going to take it that way moving forward. I wish everybody the best of luck. I wish everybody the best of health. It is what it is.”

Mitch Creek has signed a 10-day contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

In 41 games (32 starts) for Long Island during the regular season, Creek averaged 15.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 30.6 minutes per contest while shooting 55.2 percent from the field. He scored in double figures in 33 games and posted 20 or more points 11 times. The Australia native also appeared in one playoff game for the Nets, recording a double-double with 13 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes in Long Island’s Eastern Conference Semifinals victory over the Raptors 905 on March 29.

There is a "growing expectation around the league" that the Minnesota Timberwolves will retain Ryan Saunders as head coach.

Saunders became interim head coach on January 6 when Tom Thibodeau was fired.

Saunders is just 33 years old and is the son of Flip Saunders.

Saunders is known to have a strong relationship with Karl-Anthony Towns.

Derrick Rose underwent successful surgery to remove bone spurs from his right elbow on Saturday.

Rose, who was ruled out for the season earlier this week, will be out indefinitely.

Rose averaged 18 points and 4.3 assists per game this season, his highest totals since 2016. 

The Minnesota Timberwolves have ruled out Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose and Jeff Teague for the remainder of the season.

Covington has missed the last 34 games while recovering from a right knee bone bruise, originally suffered on December 31 at New Orleans. Covington had made improvements in his recovery and had progressed to on-court activities, in preparation to rejoin the team. However, he recently suffered a setback which will require further treatment before returning to the court and as a result, is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Rose has missed the last four games while experiencing soreness and swelling in his right elbow. An MRI taken Tuesday at Mayo Clinic Square revealed a chip fracture and a loose body in his elbow. The team and Rose are currently exploring further treatment options and he is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

Teague has missed the last four games after reaggravating a left foot injury, originally suffered in December. On Tuesday, Teague received an injection designed to treat chronic inflammation. He will wear a boot and is scheduled to be reevaluated in approximately three weeks. He is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed Cameron Reynolds for the remainder of the season.

Reynolds, 24, has appeared in seven games for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 3.7 points in 14.9 minutes per game. The Wolves signed Reynolds to a 10-Day Contract on February 27, 2019 and to a second 10-Day Contract on March 9, 2019.

The 6-8 forward played in 33 games (nine starts) for the Stockton Kings of the NBA G League this season, averaging 16.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.

Karl-Anthony Towns is not interested in shutting it down at some point this season as the Minnesota Timberwolves' playoff hopes evaporate.

"I can't do that," said Towns. "I've got too much pride in playing. I've got too much pride in being on the court with my guys. If (fans) worry about me getting hurt, I was much more hurt last year. I'm not too worried about that. This ain't nothin."

Towns will receive an additional $32 million on his contract extension if he makes one of the All-NBA teams this season.

Towns has been one of the NBA's most durable players, starting in 303 straight games before his car accident.

Karl-Anthony Towns may only miss a few games after an MRI revealed soreness in his right knee.

The diagnosis was a relief after Towns suffered a non-contact knee injury the night before.

"We have very smart medical people here and we have people who make informed decisions on things and we have good communicators so we're all going to communicate that and make sure everybody is on the same page," said Towns of his potential return to the court.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed forward Cameron Reynolds to a second 10-Day Contract.

Reynolds, 24, has appeared in two games for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 2.0 points in 3.5 minutes per game. The Wolves originally signed Reynolds to a 10-Day Contract on February 27, 2019.

The 6-8 forward has played in 33 games (nine starts) for the Stockton Kings of the NBA G League this season, averaging 16.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.

Karl-Anthony Towns stated that he's been focusing on playing more aggressively following his 41-point performance in a 131-120 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“I’m trying to find ways to be aggressive, more aggressive than I’ve been all season. Just finding ways to unleash another part of myself that I’ve not done since I’ve been in the league," said Towns.

That aggressiveness includes talking trash, which Russell Westbrook did not appreciate.

“Get to the f----- playoffs before you speak to me,” Westbrook told Towns during the game.
