Mark Daigneault on SGA gelling with the rookies despite not playing in preseason with them: “It’s the first game. It’s not an end point — it’s a starting point… Everything you see tomorrow — whether it’s good, bad, ugly — is just our starting point and we’re gonna evaluate.” – 2:11 PM

SGA on the Timberwolves: “They’re big, obviously, with their new additions. They had a good run last year in the playoffs. A good, young team. It’ll be a good game tomorrow… Ball will tip. One team will win and one team will lose. Hopefully we’re on the good side of that.” pic.twitter.com/zmhuCXjv9Z – 2:03 PM

Josh Giddey on SGA practicing: “It’s been great. Obviously, he’s been missed. It’s good to have him back out there practicing with us. Continuing to put that chemistry in the backcourt with him is important for what we’re doing. Love playing with him.” – 2:07 PM
