The Minnesota Timberwolves took note of Draymond Green's criticism of Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert. Appearing as an analyst on TNT's "Inside the NBA" throughout the Western Conference semifinal round between the Dallas Mavericks and Timberwolves, Green often criticized Minnesota's big men, including claiming Gobert was "BBQ chicken" while defending Mavericks star Luka Dončić and claiming Towns lied about his pregame preparation. The Timberwolves were not happy with Green's remarks and planned a boycott of on-court interviews with Green and the panel following their Game 4 win over Dallas, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported in his latest column, citing team sources. Anthony Edwards was surrounded by a tight-knit team, one with such strong chemistry that it decided as a group that no player would appear on TNT’s Inside the NBA postgame show after their victory in Game 4 in Dallas, team sources told The Athletic. Charania wrote. The decision was a sign of support for Gobert and Towns, who were the subject of derisive and seemingly personal criticism from panelist and Golden State forward Draymond Green. No Timberwolves player would appear on "Inside the NBA" again in the series. Only because their season immediately ended after an ugly Game 5 loss on Thursday.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
