- Confirmed! CJ Fulton has confirmed he’s going to Las Vegas as part of the Timberwolves Summer League Team. Couldn’t happen to a better guy, living out all of our childhood dreams. 💚
- CJ Fulton is in for the Minnesota Timberwolves at the NBA Summer League! He becomes the first Irish developed player to ever reach this level.
- CJ checks in early and scores in transition on his first play.
00:00 - Big time news! Timberwolves GM Tim Connelly in a post draft interview confirms they are trying to get CJ Fulton on to their Summer League team. Amazing!Tim Connelly when asked if he came into the draft thinking he was going to take two 18 year-old 7-footers: "I was hoping to get like 14.4 feet combined. And I achieved that goal."
00:00 - Not the type of Irish basketball post you get to see every day 😳
- As equal as basketball is in Ireland, if we had a guy score 30 for a good D1 school we’d collectively lose our minds. We take what Bronagh has been doing for the last couple of years for granted. ⭐️Just gonna leave this here ☘️ #GoCrossGo
- Really sad news that Mary Flanagan has passed away. Mary was a huge part of Dublin basketball. She helped @UCDMarian for years and also was a big part of schools finals, masters basketball and of course @dublinlions. RIP to a lovely person who always had a smile for everyone
- When we talk about why basketball on tv is so important, this is Arthur seeing his coach @sean_sean10j getting called out for the Super League final on TG4. We already have role models in bball, we just need them to have the platform to be stars. Helps when coach gets mvp too!
00:00 - Just can’t get over this incredible photo by Dominic Walsh for @ExaminerSport The basket still standing with devastation all around it. 💔
- Hate seeing some brilliant young basketballers getting targeted online for being willing to represent Ireland. If you have an issue with this weeks game direct it at the Governing Body or the International Body not at a group of amateur players.
- Full Timberwolves Summer League Roster. No 31 CJ FultonSUMMER WOLVES 🎰
- Grace Prenter has just committed to play for the Texas Longhorns. There’s never been a day like this for Irish basketball. Incredible. We’ll have Irish players competing against each other in the SEC. Amazing.
