Minnesota has monitored the 8-year NBA vet throughout the season. Warren is a career 15 points per game scorer.”</p><p>Warren hasn’t played since last season <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-tj-warren-missing-piece-after-chris-paul-injury" rel="noopener">with the Phoenix Suns</a> after dealing with injuries. But, he’s reportedly healthy now and could be a nice addition to the Timberwolves’ bench. Warren owns career averages of 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. In 2022-23, he suited up just 16 times for the Suns.</p><p>While Minnesota is thriving with a 42-18 record, their bench hasn’t been great. Outside of Naz Reid, there isn’t a lot of production. Warren could be a nice depth piece who is capable of scoring the basketball. During the NBA Bubble in 2020, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tj-warren-bubble-goat-4-iconic-moments-from-epic-2020-nba-bubble-run" rel="noopener">Warren balled out</a> with the Indiana Pacers, putting up 26.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 10 appearances.

This past Saturday, the NBA Central parody Twitter account, NBA Centel, posted a tweet that stated that TJ Warren had signed a three-year, $33 million deal with the Miami Heat, teaming up with his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heat-news-jimmy-butler-posts-instagram-message-to-pacers-tj-warren" rel="noopener">one-time nemesis</a> Jimmy Butler.</p><p>In an attempt to give the tweet a false air of credibility, the NBA Centel Twitter account attributed the reporting to Keith Smith, a contributor for Spotrac and Boston Celtics insider. Smith, however, did not let the parody account’s unwanted mention of his name go unnoticed. Firing back against what was obviously a fake tweet, Smith <a href="https://twitter.com/KeithSmithNBA/status/1692978607218466973" rel="noopener">debunked any and all connections</a> the Twitter account insinuated between him and the false report.</p><p>“FOH. This is not my reporting, at all,” Smith wrote.</p><p>In a social media landscape wherein the truth gets lost rather easily in a sea of lies, it’s not too big of a shock for a credentialed reporter such as Keith Smith to clear the air, even if the truth value of the “parody” tweet in question is ridiculous to begin with.</p><p>No one who has followed the NBA over the past three years will believe that TJ Warren is worth a three-year, $33 million contract, like NBA Centel posted. Warren has dealt with a ton of injury problems since he emerged from the NBA Bubble looking like a million bucks, playing in just 42 games since then. And for him to receive that kind of contract from the Heat, a team that prides itself in making shrewd decisions? That is simply inexplicable — especially when the Heat don’t have that kind of breathing room under the second luxury tax apron, which <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-the-heat-concern-over-pursuing-bradley-beal-trade-revealed" rel="noopener">prevented them from pursuing</a> Bradley Beal to begin with.</p><p>At the end of the day, this is not the first time that the NBA Centel account has made waves. Back in mid-July, that same account triggered a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/see-wtf-is-happening-kevin-garnett-fires-shot-elon-musk-after-catching-heat-draymond-green-fake-tweet" rel="noopener">bit of a heated moment</a> from Draymond Green towards Kevin Garnett. And with Twitter (now X) continuing to lose its way as a platform, don’t expect these sorts of occurrences to stop anytime soon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Coming over from the Brooklyn Nets, TJ Warren re-joined the Suns after spending the first five seasons of his career in Phoenix.</p><p>Ahead of Game 3 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the Denver Nuggets on Friday, the Suns face a ton of questions not only revolving around how they can overcome an 0-2 series deficit, but how they can replace <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-devin-booker-gets-brutally-honest-on-chris-pauls-injury-in-nuggets-series" rel="noopener">Chris Paul</a>.</p><p>Suffering a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-monty-williams-optimistic-chris-paul-injury" rel="noopener">groin injury</a> in Game 2 of this series that will keep him out at least a week, the Suns must find production outside of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Could TJ Warren be the player that Monty Williams turns to in Game 3 and beyond?</p><p>In his first stint with the Suns, Warren turned himself into a really solid offensive weapon, and the success he found as a primary scorer continued when he joined the Indiana Pacers in 2019. Having multiple breakout performances in the 2020 NBA Bubble, Warren missed almost all of the 2020-21 season and he did miss the entirety of the 2021-22 season due to a left foot injury. Multiple stints on the injury report have limited his overall impact this year, but the 6-foot-8 wing has shown flashes of what he can still do as a primary contributor off the bench since coming back to Phoenix.</p><p>Warren has only played at least 20 minutes in four regular season games for the Suns, but in those games, he managed to average 11.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor. With Cameron Payne likely to be elevated to the starting rotation in the wake of Paul’s absence and the Suns receiving little to no production from their bench through two games in this series, now is the time for Phoenix to get creative.</p><p>Whether or not he is truly healthy is a completely different conversation, but he has not been listed on the injury report and Warren has yet to play against Denver in this series. As mentioned before, Booker and Durant cannot carry this team on the offensive-end of the floor alone, which is why a player like TJ Warren could be extremely valuable for the rest of this series.</p><p>“I can do a better job of putting more scorers on the floor and living with whatever warts may come with that just to free those guys up so they don’t have to do it every single time down the floor,” Williams said recently after <a href="https://twitter.com/PHNX_Suns/status/1653862459789438976?s=20" rel="noopener">one of the team’s practices</a>, via PHNX Sports. “We’ll make those adjustments accordingly.”</p><p>When you look at Phoenix’s bench, the two names that stick out in reference to Williams’ comments are TJ Warren and veteran guard Terrence Ross.</p><p>Known for being a key scoring weapon off the bench, Ross will most definitely see minutes in the Suns’ backcourt with Paul out. Warren is the X-factor for the Suns though, as his ability to score without someone making a play for him is something the Nuggets cannot necessarily match in their second unit.</p><p>“Those are two guys that could see significantly more time,” Williams continued in regard to Ross and Warren. “Those kinds of decisions only hurt you when you have an injury. Then you wish you could’ve got those guys a bit more reps to prepare for that.”</p><p>The biggest thing Phoenix is missing right now in their semifinals series is a spark on their bench.</p><p>In Game 1, the bench combined for 24 points on 8-21 shooting, but a vast majority of their points came late in the game when the outcome had already been decided. In Game 2, their second unit combined for just four points on 2-16 shooting. On the contrary, Denver’s bench has been the difference in this series so far, which is why the Suns must make a major adjustment. Losing Chris Paul is obviously a big deal, as he is the floor general for their offense, but looking to others to step up may end up being a blessing in disguise for the Suns.</p><p>Getting guys like Ross and especially Warren involved expands the Suns’ offensive arsenal, taking a ton of pressure off of Booker and Durant. Out of everyone on Phoenix’s bench, TJ Warren is the one player who can really make a difference if he is truly healthy and if they give him the freedom to play how is able to. Unlike Terrence Ross, Landry Shamet, and other players on the bench for the Suns, he has a well-respected mid-range game and Warren is able to attack his opponents and get to the rim.</p><p>What makes Warren such an intriguing talent, especially for the Suns, is that he fits their style of play perfectly. Phoenix has not been a high-percentage three-point shooting team in the playoffs and they tend to either attack the paint or take mid-range shots. This is exactly Warren found success early in his career with the Suns, it is how he found success with the Pacers and it is how he can continue to find success should he be inserted into the rotation for Game 3 against Denver.</p><p>The matchup against the Nuggets in particular is one that best suits the Suns and Warren as well. Bruce Brown and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope have been guarding Booker in this series and Aaron Gordon has primarily been guarding Durant.</p><p>Both Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray are not really known for being above-average defenders, which means Warren could draw some very favorable matchups, especially against Denver’s bench unit that features the likes of Bruce Brown, Jeff Green, and rookie Christian Braun.</p><p>Having Warren on the floor with Durant and Booker gives the Suns another scoring option on the wing and someone who could instantly flip the script in this series. If he’s making shots and is allowed to play freely at times, TJ Warren can help the Suns come back and advance to the Western Conference Finals over the Nuggets.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

TJ Warren could be Suns’ missing piece after Chris Paul injury

Follow on Twitter below.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Nets big man Ben Simmons is listed as questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Clippers after missing Brooklyn’s last four games with left knee soreness.</p><p>Head coach Jacque Vaughn said that Simmons went through an individual workout Saturday. The 26-year-old received an MRI Friday, which came up clean. Simmons missed four games earlier this season with soreness and swelling in the same knee. The first-year Net was having one of his worst stretches of the season prior to the absence, <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/simmobe01/gamelog/2023#302-312-sum:pgl_basic" rel="noopener">averaging 5.7 points</a> on just 5.2 shots per game over 11 games in January.</p><p>T.J. Warren, who has also missed the Nets’ last four games due to a left shin contusion, is listed as probable. Like Simmons, Warren’s production had also taken a dive during a stretch without Kevin Durant prior to the injury. The 28-year-old averaged 3.2 points while playing 12.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances. Warren <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/t-j-warren-becoming-steal-of-nba-offseason-for-nets">had been one of Brooklyn’s top bench pieces</a> during 19 games prior to that span, averaging 10.8 points and 3.2 rebounds on 52.5 percent shooting.</p><p>Seth Curry will miss the matchup with Los Angeles after exiting Saturday’s win over Washington with an adductor strain. The guard has struggled to find a rhythm over his last three games, averaging 7.3 points on 9-of-26 (34.6 percent) shooting from the field and 4-of-14 (28.6 percent) from three.</p><p>Brooklyn will be without Kyrie Irving for the second straight game after trading the All-Star guard to Dallas Sunday for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian-Finney Smith and draft picks. Cam Thomas will continue to shoulder a heavy offensive burden after scoring a career-high 44 points Saturday. Warren’s return will provide the Nets with another scoring option for the front end of a back-to-back with Phoenix coming to town Tuesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That <a href="https://twitter.com/statmuse/status/1607565541417586688" rel="noopener">same form</a> by TJ Warren showed up <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-odds-nets-vs-cavaliers-prediction-odds-and-pick-12-26-2022" rel="noopener">Monday night</a> to help the Brooklyn Nets pull off a 125-117 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road.</p><p>Via StatMuse:</p><p><i>TJ Warren tonight:</i></p><p><i>23 PTS</i><br><i>8 REB</i><br><i>9-14 FG</i></p><p><i>His first 20-point game in exactly 2 years.</i></p><p>Warren gave the Nets quite a boost with his strong performance coming off the bench. He shot 9-for-14 with two 3-pointers to go with two steals and a pair of assists in 27 minutes on the floor against the Cavs. That was the kind of performance the Nets expected to get from the veteran when they signed him to a one-year deal worth $2.63 million back in July and waited to recover from a foot injury that caused him to miss a bunch of games to start the 2022-23 NBA regular season.</p><p>The 29-year-old Warren has always been a bucket-getter, which was why he turned several heads when he was still with the NC State Wolfpack, and he’s starting to show that again now that he’s becoming more and more acclimated to the competitive atmosphere of the NBA following a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-it-felt-like-a-dream-t-j-warren-picks-up-where-he-left-off-in-first-game-in-703-days" rel="noopener">lengthy absence</a>.</p><p>In 10 games so far with the Nets this season, Warren has scored in double-digits seven times, but outside of his 23-point outing versus the Cavs, he had never produced more than 14 in a contest. The Nets are going to get even more terrifying if Warren starts to click like he did in the Cleveland game in a more consistent manner.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
