A close call occurred at the Target Center during the Minnesota Timberwolves' recent game against the Atlanta Hawks when a piece of the jumbotron fell onto the court, narrowly missing Rudy Gobert and Mouhamed Gueye as they approached their benches. The incident did not result in any injuries, allowing the game to continue uninterrupted. The Timberwolves secured a 100-92 victory, with Anthony Edwards leading the team with 23 points, while Gobert contributed with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

In the second quarter, Gobert had a brief confrontation with Onyeka Okongwu following a powerful dunk, but it escalated little beyond a stare-down. Despite this, the Timberwolves maintained a commanding lead at halftime, ultimately solidifying their win. The Hawks continued to struggle, with De'Andre Hunter scoring 35 points off the bench.

The Capital City Go-Go faced off against the Swarm in Greensboro, featuring former Swarm player Leaky Black and Mouhamadou Gueye. The game attracted a lively crowd of school-aged students, enhancing the home-court atmosphere for the Swarm.

KJ Simpson showcased his skills with a standout dunk and contributed significantly to the Swarm's fourth-quarter comeback. Teammates Marcus Garrett and Jaylen Sims also impressed as leading scorers, while Joel Soriano's presence in the paint drew attention despite some offensive limitations.
