League Pass Game of the Day: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Sacramento Kings (10 ET)

DeRozan is ready to make his Kings debut tonight in Sacramento after being acquired in a sign-and-trade deal with the Bulls earlier this summer.

2. Clutch Kings:

DeRozan, a six-time All-Star, notched 24.0 ppg, 4.3 rpg and 5.3 apg for Chicago last season and finished second in the Kia Clutch Player of the Year voting behind Steph Curry. One year prior, Sacramento’s star guard De’Aaron Fox won the award.

3. Wolves Run It Back:

Last spring, the Timberwolves won their first playoff series since 2004 and fell just three games shy of reaching their first NBA Finals. Now, they return with the same core — centered around Anthony Edwards — in hopes of winning a title. 

4. Ant-Man Enters Year 5:

At age 23, Anthony Edwards enters his fifth season coming off a second straight All-Star campaign in which he averaged a career-high in points (25.9 ppg), field goal percentage (46.1) and assists (5.1 apg). 

5. Dillingham Watch:

In addition to Edwards, the Wolves potentially have another electric scorer in rookie Rob Dillingham, a 19-year-old guard out of Kentucky who Minnesota landed by trading up for the No. 8 overall pick in this year’s draft.
