The Minnesota Timberwolves fired their president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas on Wednesday, a rather stunning move given training camp is set to begin in a week.

The statement from Wolves owner Glen Taylor was succinct, to say the least, and didn’t even include the typical token compliment to the person you’re firing on their way out. That, along with the timing, seemed to indicate that this decision was precipitated by something worse than just your typical executive getting fired for poor performance. Late Wednesday night, we got far more detail into what went down and why Rosas was let go immediately from The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski and Shams Charania, who published a detailed report about how the Wolves came to this decision.
