Alex Singleton: You'll see where I am in ACL rehab at practice in a few weeks

NBC Sports18-05-2025
Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton said earlier this offseason that he believes he's on track to return from a torn ACL in time to play in the first week of the regular season and he sound and he now sounds like he expects to be on the field well ahead of that point.
Singleton tore his ACL in Week Three last season and he said he 'can't give specific numbers' on where he is in terms of his recovery, but said that an opportunity for others to make that evaluation will be coming up soon.
'We have practices in a few weeks and you guys can see for yourselves where I'm at . . . I think I'm getting my helmet fitted next week,' Singleton said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. 'I think that'll be a little happy moment. Then the first OTAs. All these happy moments. And then training camp, it'll be like, 'Oh, we're back.' I think it'll be really cool to get to do those things and get to do that.'
Singleton joined the Broncos in 2022 and is heading into the final year of the three-year extension he signed in 2023. He has 371 tackles, two sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries in 37 games with Denver.

Timberwolves 94, Nuggets 83: Terrence Shannon Jr. Throws Down Another Monster Dunk

With yesterday's focus on Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez's press conference to officially announce them as the controlling owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, the attention shifts back to the court as the Wolves took on the Denver Nuggets for their second game in the 2K26 NBA Summer League. There were a lot of notable Timberwolves people in the building for the game. Lore, Rodriguez, Chris Finch, and Micah Nori were all sitting outside. Naz Reid was greeted with a chant of 'five more years,' with the crowd exploding when Anthony Edwards sat down on the right baseline. Advertisement Even Nickeil Alexander-Walker came by to say hello to his former teammates. The Wolves rolled with the same starting five as their first game, including the four players from last year's team along with rookie Joan Beringer. The Timberwolves took a double-digit lead in the first half and never looked back. Terrence Shannon Jr. yet again had the exclamation point on the game with a monster slam late in the fourth quarter that got the entire crowd excited, including Edwards sitting right behind the basket. Shannon spoke to the media after the game and talked about the dunk and the love he got from Edwards sitting behind the basket. 'Ant is always brining the energy. But I didn't think it was that crazy. That's why I just started laughing, I didn't really show no emotion like that. But that's good though, Ant's my boy.' Rob Dillingham was also asked what he thought of Shannon's dunk and said, 'Ain't nothing to think about. Who else is doing that? And he got me an assist.' Advertisement Those assists were a big part of Dillingham's game in this one, as he dished out nine assists while turning it over just two times. He did a great job controlling the Wolves' offense, using his excellent handles to get to advantageous spots on the floor. Add in the 15 points, only behind Shannon's 24, and it was a solid outing for Rob, who struggled with both turnovers and shooting efficiency in Thursday's game. The Wolves won by a score of 94-83 to bring their Summer League record to 2-0. Along with Shannon and Dillingham's 39 combined points, Tristen Newton finished with 12 points off the bench, and Jaylen Clark scored six points on a pair of 3-pointers, along with two steals and a block. Up Next The Wolves continue their Summer League journey on Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons. The game starts at 3:30 PM CT. Fans can watch the game on NBA TV. Highlights

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards loves Terrence Shannon Jr. Summer League slam

The post Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards loves Terrence Shannon Jr. Summer League slam appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Minnesota Timberwolves continued their strong start in 2025 NBA Summer League, improving to 2-0 with a 94-83 win over the Denver Nuggets. Leading the charge was second-year guard Terrence Shannon Jr., who delivered a strong 24-point performance capped by a vicious poster dunk over Tamar Bates late in the fourth quarter. The slam brought the crowd to life, none more so than Timberwolves teammate Anthony Edwards, who was sitting baseline and visibly hyped by the play. Shannon's dunk came in front of several key Timberwolves figures, including Edwards, Naz Reid, controlling owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, head coach Chris Finch, and associate head coach Micah Nori. Edwards, now a full-fledged star, couldn't contain his excitement as he reacted to the emphatic slam. Advertisement Shannon downplayed the moment afterward, telling reporters, 'Ant is always bringing the energy. But I didn't think it was that crazy. That's why I just started laughing… Ant's my boy.' Rookie guard Rob Dillingham, who assisted on Shannon's poster, chimed in after the game, saying, 'Ain't nothing to think about. Who else is doing that? And he got me an assist.' Dillingham, who struggled with turnovers and shooting in the Wolves' Summer League opener, rebounded with a strong performance. He totaled 15 points and nine assists with just two turnovers, showcasing much-improved decision-making and offensive control. The Timberwolves' Summer League roster, considered to be one of the most competitive in Las Vegas, features second-year players like Shannon, Dillingham, and Jaylen Clark, as well as rookie Joan Beringer. Clark contributed six points, including two 3-pointers, and added two steals and a block defensively. Tristen Newton also chipped in 12 points off the bench, adding valuable scoring depth. Advertisement On the other side, Denver couldn't keep up, falling to 0-2 in Summer League play. Their roster lacked the high-end talent and physicality of Minnesota's group. DaRon Holmes II, the Nuggets' lone recent draft pick who missed last season with a torn Achilles, finished with eight points and six rebounds, but appeared to still be regaining full mobility. The Timberwolves' next Summer League matchup is scheduled for Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons as they look to maintain their undefeated run.
