Summary

On today’s episode we check in on the six Timberwolves players who have been playing for their national teams this summer in advance of the Olympics. What I’ve been hearing for injury updates on Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid and Juancho Hernangomez, and then how Leandro Bolmaro, Josh Okogie and Ricky Rubio have been performing in slightly different roles for their national teams. What position does Leandro Bolmaro play? How has Bolmaro looked defensively and what is he most comfortable doing offensively? Josh Okogie playing point guard for Nigeria. How will that benefit him in the NBA next season? Why doesn’t international Ricky Rubio translate to the NBA? What can happen this season so more of Rubio’s international dominance shows up for the Wolves? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ricky Rubio and Jo Horn and Gomez, obviously for Spain. Anthony Edwards and

Nas Reid were on the USA Select team. Andrew Bar Morrow has been playing for Argentina

and then Josh Okie for Nigeria. Unfortunately, the place to start with these six guys is with

injuries. Three of them have gotten hurt. Anthony Edwards sprained his ankle at Team USA practice on July 7th.

1:13.9

It was in a scrimmage.

1:14.7

And as I record this, what is it, a week later, my understanding is he's still off that ankle,

I definitely don't get the sense that this will have any impact on Edwards' ability to, you know,
