Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Struggles in season debut
Conley provided five points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the Lakers.
Conley didn't take a shot in the first half and was generally uninvolved on both sides of the ball. He ended up taking a seat for good early in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had a more productive game overall. Conley's job is safe for now, but continued struggles could send more court time Alexander-Walker's way.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Spins up 27 points in opener
Edwards finished Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the Lakers with 27 points (10-25 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 41 minutes.
Edwards converted 40 percent of his shots and drilled five three-pointers in the win. Last season, Edwards finished sixth with an average of 19.7 shot attempts per game, and there's no reason to expect a decrease in his prolific shot volume. Amazingly, he connected on an impressive 46.1 percent of those attempts, and he'll be set for a very productive season if he can match those numbers.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Logs 13/14 double-double in opener
Gobert supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the Lakers.
Gobert grabbed his share of rebounds, but he had no answer for Anthony Davis in the paint. The combination of Gobert and Julius Randle needs some time to develop, as the trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks happened less than a month ago. It will take a few games for the duo to gain a better understanding of their roles in the new scheme, but Gobert should continue to be a nightly double-double threat.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Solid outing in loss
Edwards recorded 27 points (10-25 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 110-103 loss to the Lakers.
Edwards led the Timberwolves in scoring in the team's regular-season opener. The star guard racked up all three of his assists in the fourth quarter when Los Angeles started throwing double-teams at him. Despite Julius Randle coming to Minnesota via trade, Edwards is still clearly the team's top option on offense.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Signs three-year extension
The Timberwolves signed Gobert to a three-year, $110 million extension Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After trading Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks, Gobert will likely remain with the club for the long haul after this extension. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year averaged a double-double for the eighth consecutive season in the 2023-24 campaign. Last season, Gobert averaged 14.0 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.8 combined steals plus blocks across 34.1 minutes per game in 76 regular-season appearances. The 32-year-old is expected to decline his player option for the 2025-26 season, allowing him to receive a fresh extension through the 2027-28 season, according to Charania.

Reid (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Lakers.
