Head coach Jamahl Mosley says veteran forward Herbert Jones, who averaged just 17 minutes in New Orleans’ first three games, will see his minutes increase, though his fourth‑game total rose only to 18:32, far below his 28.4 MPG last season. With Jeremiah Fears securing a starting spot and Dejounte Murray occupying the lone center role, the Pelicans are juggling a bench‑heavy lineup. Trade talks linger: Marc Stein reports New Orleans still wants near two first‑round picks for Jones, while Murray’s future remains uncertain despite denying a trade request. Meanwhile, Jordan Poole (expiring $34 M) looks elsewhere, and the Warriors’ interest in big man Yves Missi is being rebuffed for second‑round offers.
Yaxel Lendeborg might have felt terrible after Wednesday's game, but his seven turnovers actually highlight how good the Golden State Warriors rookie really is.

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry offered some advice to Anthony Edwards with the Minnesota Timberwolves guard sidelined for a stretch.
After dropping a season‑high 44 points in the Warriors’ 119–114 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Stephen Curry meets Minnesota Lynx stars Olivia Miles and Kayla McBride at Target Center. Curry presents each with a signed #30 Warriors jersey, prompting delighted reactions captured on broadcast. He praises the WNBA’s growth, noting Miles as an MVP candidate and McBride’s record‑tying 10‑three‑pointer game. The encounter follows McBride’s “night‑night” celebration in a recent Valkyries‑Lynx matchup, which Curry described as bittersweet. Curry’s gesture highlights his support for women’s basketball and cements a memorable cross‑league moment.
With Herb Jones seemingly on the trade block, we explore how the Warriors could potentially land the Pelicans forward along with Yves Missi.
In their first game without Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves fell 119-114 to Golden State, despite Stephen Curry's 44 points. Coach Chris Finch and players like LaMelo Ball, Jonathan Kuminga and Jaden McDaniels admit they tried to replace Edwards' scoring by taking rushed, isolated shots instead of creating quality looks. The Wolves' early‑half offense became predictable—single passes, deep threes on first touches—making them easy to defend. A second‑unit surge showed what works: quick ball movement, hustle and smarter timing. Finch stresses the need for collective responsibility and patient play to restore the flow that fueled Minnesota’s 3‑0 start.
Before Wednesday’s Warriors‑Timberwolves matchup, Celtics coach Chris Finch and Warriors boss Steve Kerr slammed the NBA’s new flopping crackdown as misdirected. Finch argues the league is unfairly targeting defensive flops while offensive players continue to bait fouls and earn free throws, a practice he says harms the game’s integrity. Kerr, dubbing the league the “No Bullshit Association,” wants officials empowered to stop all exaggerations – from grabbing and hooking to dramatic reactions to screens. Both coaches cite a recent Portland‑Los Angeles game that featured three flopping technicals in two minutes and call for clearer enforcement that focuses on the real offenders.
