Belfast player invited to NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves pre-draft workout

BELFAST BASKETBALL PLAYER CJ Fulton has been invited to participate in a pre-draft workout camp with NBA outfit Minnesota Timberwolves. The BBC reports that Fulton is set to take part in the event where he will get the chance to impress coaches at Timberwolves ahead of the NBA Draft, which will take place 25-26 June. Minnesota missed out on reaching the NBA Finals this season after losing a best-of-seven Western Conference finals series 4-1 to Oklahoma City Thunder. The 22-year-old Fulton, who is the son of former Ireland international Adrian Fulton, currently plays for college side the Charleston Cougar. He started out his basketball career with Malachy's College and Belfast Star in Northern Ireland before earning a move to America in 2020 where he joined up with Winchendon School in Boston. Advertisement If Fulton does manage to break into the NBA, he will follow in the footsteps Pat Burke and Susan Moran. Burke played for the Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns while Moran was part of the WNBA's New York Liberty squad in the 2002 season.

Indiana Pacers reach NBA finals after New York Knicks fall short

Siakam was the hero as the Indiana Pacers earned their first NBA finals appearance since 2000 with a solid 125-108 victory over the visiting New York Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals in Indianapolis. Siakam recorded 31 points and three blocked shots to finish off a stellar series in which he was named MVP of the series. He was 10-of-18 shooting while recording his third 30-point outing of the series. "So deserving," Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said of Siakam. "The guy has been a rock of consistency all year." Indiana will face the Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals. Game 1 tips off on Friday at 1.30am Irish time in Oklahoma City. Siakam, a nine-year veteran, won a title in 2019 with the Toronto Raptors and his teammates will surely be asking him what they can expect. "That year was my third year, I was this young kid. I thought it was going to be easy [to get back]," Siakam said. "I appreciate it even more now because I know how hard it is to get here." Tyrese Haliburton added 21 points, 13 assists and three steals for fourth-seeded Indiana. Obi Toppin added 18 points off the bench and Andrew Nembhard had 14 points and six steals for the Pacers. "It's a special feeling to do it with this group," Haliburton said. "We got to the same spot last year and we fell short. We worked our tails off to get back here." OG Anunoby scored 24 points and Karl-Anthony Towns added 22 points and 14 rebounds for third-seeded New York. Jalen Brunson had 19 points and seven assists and Mikal Bridges had 15 points for the Knicks. Indiana had a 25-10 edge on fastbreak points to finish the series with a dominating advantage 106-48 in that category. New York committed 18 turnovers in the finale, including five apiece by Brunson and Bridges. "I saw a lot of breakaways on their part," Brunson said. "It was the reason why they would extend the lead throughout the series. It's something I have to be able to control. ... It's terrible on my part." The Pacers shot 54.1 percent from the field, including a solid 17 of 33 from 3-point range (51.5 percent). Myles Turner and reserve Thomas Bryant had 11 points apiece and Aaron Nesmith added 10 for the Pacers. New York made 47.7 percent of its shots and was 9 of 32 (28.1 percent) from behind the arc. Landry Shamet had 12 points on four treys off the bench. It was the first appearance in the Eastern Conference finals for the Knicks since 2000 when they also lost to the Pacers. "I'm proud of what these guys did," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. "There was a lot that we had to get through and I thought we handled that part well. "The playoffs are hard-fought and these games can go either way. There's the disappointment of falling short of the ultimate goal but still proud of what we accomplished." New York trailed by 15 entering the final quarter but a basket by Towns and two in a row by Anunoby pulled the Knicks within 92-83 with 10:15 remaining. Haliburton then took over as he scored 11 points on 5-of-6 shooting in the final quarter. The Pacers pushed the lead back to 14 on a basket by Nembhard with 8:26 left. Later, a basket by Haliburton and a three-pointer by Nembhard made it 113-94 with 4:22 left. Siakam later made two free throws to make it 120-99 with 1:52 left as New York waved the white flag. Indiana led by four at the break but started the third quarter with 3-pointers by Siakam and Nesmith and a three-point play by Siakam to take a 67-54 lead. The Knicks were within 69-61 after Brunson's basket with 8:53 left in the period before Bryant (two) and Nembhard (one) combined for three treys in 86 seconds as the Pacers grabbed a 78-63 advantage with 6:44 remaining in the quarter. Haliburton later ended the third with a dunk as the Pacers had a 34-23 edge over the 12 minutes to expand their lead to 92-77. Siakam scored 16 first-half points to help the Pacers hold a 58-54 lead at the break. Anunoby scored 14 in the half for New York. Though the Knicks saw their season end, Towns is convinced the team will make more deep postseason runs in the near future. "It hurts not to bring an opportunity to the city for a championship," Towns said. "We have a lot of great guys in this locker room. The plan now is to put ourselves in this position again and succeed next time."

Thunder overwhelm Timberwolves to reach NBA Finals

OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER, sparked by 34 points from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012 by routing Minnesota Timberwolves 124-94. Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA Most Valuable Player, added eight assists and seven rebounds as the Thunder captured the best-of-seven Western Conference finals series 4-1 and will host game one of the NBA Finals on June 5. 'This is a step in the right direction but we have a lot more work to do and we know that and that's what we're focused on so let's buckle up and get ready,' said Gilgeous-Alexander. 'We've got a lot of work to do to get to our ultimate goal and this is not it. That's all that I'm focused on.' Oklahoma City will face the Eastern Conference champion, either the Indiana Pacers or New York Knicks, for the NBA title. Gilgeous-Alexander, a 26-year-old Canadian who was named the series MVP, could become the first NBA scoring champion since Shaquille O'Neal in 2000 to win an NBA title in the same season. SHAI DOMINATES GAME 5. ⛈️ 34 points, 7 boards, 8 dimes ⛈️ 11th 30+ point game of playoffs ⛈️ WCF MVP The @okcthunder win the West! — NBA (@NBA) May 29, 2025 Chet Holmgren added 22 points and Jalen Williams netted 19 for the Thunder, whose average age of 25.6 years makes them the youngest team in the NBA Finals since Portland in 1977. 'We have 17 dudes on the roster who will bring it every single game whether it's a closeout game or not,' Holmgren said. 'It's a step in the journey. We still have a season to play (in the Finals) so we're not done.' Williams was proud of the way players have melded into a team. 'We've been through ups and downs this entire season and that has only brought us closer. We've been able to bond and get better and that's why we're here now,' he said. 'We've still got a job to do but it's very exciting.' Julius Randle led Minnesota with 24 points while Anthony Edwards added 19 for the Timberwolves, who have never reached the NBA Finals. Advertisement 'They came ready to play. We didn't,' Edwards said. 'They dominated the game from the tip.' Oklahoma City have never won an NBA title, although the franchise won a crown as the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979 before relocating in 2008, and the Thunder last reached the finals in 2012, losing to Miami. The Thunder had the best record in the NBA this season at 68-14. 'These guys are uncommon,' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. 'They do everything right. They are professional. They are high character… They are competitive and most of all they are team first.' From the start Oklahoma City overpowered Minnesota in epic fashion, as the visitors suffered a nightmare performance when it mattered most. 'We kept our foot on the gas for 48 minutes,' Daigneault said. 'The tone we set in the game was really good from the jump.' 'We were beat by the better team,' Minnesota coach Chris Finch said. 'This hurts.' Gilgeous-Alexander scored 12 points in the first quarter as the Thunder grabbed a 26-9 lead, holding the Timberwolves to their lowest points total in any quarter all season. 'They came out and punched us,' Minnesota's Mike Conley said. Minnesota shot 3-for-20 in the first quarter, 1-of-9 from three-point range, and lost four turnovers. Minnesota missed 10 of their first 11 shots as Oklahoma City jumped ahead 11-3 then closed the quarter on a 13-2 run. The Thunder rolled to a 48-20 advantage early in the second quarter on the way to a 65-32 half-time lead as Minnesota surrendered a season-high 14 first-half turnovers while making only 12 baskets. The Timberwolves trailed by as many as 37 points before reducing the deficit to 88-62 after three quarters, but never looked like overcoming the Thunder's dominant performance. 'It hurts,' Conley said. 'For me it's going to take a while to dissect what we weren't able to do.' – © AFP 2025
