Yesterday you witnessed Robin Lopez eating sausage and ay dios mio, did Corey Brewer ever make sure that the trend continued. This was a facial of Neutrogena like proportions!

Jefferson Suspend 2 Games After DUI Arrest

Hooped Up | February 28, 2010

It’s been a bad weekend for NBA ballers and a good one for the law. This morning Al Jefferson of the Minnesota Timberwolves was arrested and charged with fourth degree driving while impaired.

Jefferson was arrested at 1:08 AM by the State Patrol and booked into Hennepin County Jail shortly around an hour later. He was released at 3:19 AM, according to jail records.

“We are disappointed that Al used poor judgment last night. Thankfully, nobody was injured,” David Kahn, the team’s president for basketball operations, said in a statement. “We believe it is appropriate for Al to be suspended for the next two games without pay.”

Jefferson was initially pulled over for speeding and field sobriety and blood tests were taken.

Corey Brewer Is Clutch From Halfcourt

I was kinda glued to the Lakers vs. Mavericks game, but thanks to the always trusty #leaguepassalert hash tag via TweetDeck. I actually caught this crazy halfcourt shot by Corey Brewer that started the beginning of 3 OT’s. Thanks 1’s and 0’s!

Derek Fisher you are relieved of your Corey Brewer highlight reel staring role duties, for at least one day.

Served: Derek Fisher Gets Got By Corey Brewer

Wow! This dunk on Derek Fisher by the hands of Corey Brewer was so good, it almost made Oleksiy Pecherov smile at the (0:21) mark.

I love that after Fisher gets dunked on, he acts like the new kid Jerry.

After the jump, meet Jerry and see what he does in an embarrassing situation.

Damien Wilkins Sinks The Nets

Hooped Up | October 29, 2009

It’s way to early and dishonest to call the Timberwolves a vastly improved team, but the buzzer beater Damien Wilkins sunk was something a good team would do. Take from that comment what you will. To bad Brook Lopez dropped 27 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and swatted 5 shots for nothing.

Welcome to Winrock, Damien Wilkins.

Kevin Loves Breaks His Hand

Hooped Up | October 17, 2009

The four-point loss the Minnesota Timberwolves suffered against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night was not the worst news of the night. Not even close.

Former UCLA star Kevin Love, who has been having a strong preseason in year two of his NBA career, suffered a broken bone in his left hand in the third quarter. Minnesota General Manager David Kahn told Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the early estimate is that Love will be out six to eight weeks.

Step Aside Jared Fogle, Big Al Wants Free Sandwiches Too

Hooped Up | September 30, 2009

After Al Jefferson went down with a knee injury last season.  President of basketball operations David Kahn told Jefferson in May to drop some weight during his rehabilitation so the Wolves could run an up tempo style in 09-10. Hobbled by a leg injury, losing weight can be tough, so “Big Al” decided to improvise by eating Ham and Turkey on wheat bread, footlongs daily, from Subway.

The result — Jefferson reported to training camp 31 pounds lighter at 262 pounds, the lightest he’s been in four years.

“We want to run this year. They made that clear,” Jefferson said. “When David Kahn came, he said that’s what he wants to do. When Kurt came, he said that’s what he wants to do. ”So I was like, ‘I better get with it or I might be benched.’ I know they’re not going to wait for me to get down there to post up. So I better get this weight off so they don’t leave me down there.”

Note to Jared Fogle, grab all the Ham and Turkey you can before HR comes to your desk with security dude. It’s only a matter of time before “Svelte Al” takes over your desk.

That Was Fast, Pavlovic Joins The T-Wolves

Hooped Up | September 16, 2009

After completing a buyout with the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, guard Sasha Pavlovic has agreed in principle on a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Pavlovic, 25, was traded to the Suns with Ben Wallace(notes) in the Shaquille O’Neal(notes) trade in June. He played five seasons with the Cavaliers before the deal. With proceeds from the Suns buyout, Pavlovic will make $2.75 million this season.

Pavlovic’s role with the Cavaliers diminished last season. The Timberwolves’ new coach, Kurt Rambis, was a big proponent of signing Pavlovic, a source said.

The New York Knicks also expressed interest in signing Pavlovic.

T-Wolves Acquire Daniels In Three-Player Deal

Hooped Up | September 10, 2009

The Timberwolves acquired guard Antonio Daniels and a 2014 second-round draft pick from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for guard Bobby Brown and forward Darius Songaila.

“Antonio has the ability to play both guard positions and will provide a veteran presence and added flexibility to our backcourt,” said David Kahn, Timberwolves president of basketball operations. “This trade also provides increased flexibility for personnel moves beginning next summer.”

The move will cut the Hornets’ payroll by $1.3 million this season, but Songaila has two years left on his contract, while Daniels’ contract expires after next season.

Sessions Signs With Minnesota

Hooped Up | September 4, 2009

Break out the champagne! Ramon Sessions has agreed to a four-year, $16-million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. No, I’m not a T-Wolves fan, but I I’m not a repetitive news fans fan either.

The Milwaukee Bucks have a week to match the offer sheet but are not expected to, bringing closure to Session’s summer-long wait. His name was mostly linked with the New York Knicks and the Clippers.

The Clippers had sought Sessions for a backup role behind point guard Baron Davis, but their interest had tempered after acquiring Sebastian Telfair in a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves and because Sessions wanted a starting position. Sessions was seeking the $5.8-million mid-level exception.

The Minnesota Timberwolves GM are obsessed with PG’s and Ramon Sessions should spoil Jonny Flynn’s hopes of starting. That’s unless the T-Wolves plan on starting five point guards, and don’t put it pass them.
