?We Will Be Back!? ? Alex ?A-Rod? Rodriguez Commends His Team Despite NBA Play-Off Loss

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is most known for his MLB identity, but his NBA reputation could soon be catching up. Having started his NBA venture with a minority stake in the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx in 2021, A-Rod was in the arena to witness the 2022 playoffs. And despite his Timberwolves eventually losing to the Memphis Grizzlies, they put up a fight in a series few had expected them to. Ever the magnanimous owner, Rodriguez, stepped in to wish the fans and players a great run in the post-season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves weren’t given a chance at a post-season early in the run of the NBA, yet the gritty team battled it out to make it into the playoffs. And with the team there, they had as much a chance as anyone else. However, fate did not favor them, and despite superb support from the fans, they fell to the Memphis Grizzlies in a six-game series to close out their season. Rodriguez, however, took this opportunity to wish the fans and players from his social media accounts.
