Naz Reid was my 6MOY pick, but I feel for Malik Monk. Easily could’ve been him. That injury swung the race. – 6:36 PM

Naz Reid on Jaden McDaniels’ confrontation with Devin Booker and how his energy can fuel the team:
“That’s my brother. So especially for me, I feel some type of way. So if he gets into that fire, I feel like I’m going in there with him.” – 11:40 PM

Finch deciding Naz Reid wasn’t cutting it after Towns got in foul trouble is really negating the Wolves’ physicality advantage. – 8:47 PM

More on this storyline

Michael Scotto: Naz Reid is the first Timberwolves player to win Sixth Man of the Year. He’s the third undrafted player to win, joining Darrell Armstrong (1999) and John Starks (1997). His 169 threes are the most in a season by an undrafted PF/C. He won by the smallest margin in award voting 👀 pic.twitter.com/m0D3iRvWQD -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / April 24, 2024
A global panel of 100 sportswriters and broadcasters picked Reid over Monk and Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis. Reid finished with 352 points and 45 first-place votes. Monk had 342 points and 43 first-place votes. Reid and Monk both received 39 second-place votes and 10 third-place votes. The 10-point difference between the first- and second-place finishers is the smallest margin in Sixth Man of the Year balloting under the current voting format, which began with the 2002-03 season. -via Sacramento Bee / April 24, 2024
