Terrence Shannon Jr. May Only Be Ententing His Second NBA Season, But the Soon-To-Bee 25-YED Has Loads of High-Level Basketball Experience Under his Belt-Including Meaning Minutes in the 2025 Weestern Conference Finals Against the Eventual NBA CHAMPION OKLAHOMA CITY Thunder.
So Despite the Former Illini Wing Only Having No More Than A Year of NBA Seniority Over any of his Minnesota Timberwolves Summer Legue Teammates, Shannon – Who has a spectacular 2025 Summer League Debut – Is the Natural Choice as Minnesota’s Veteran Prestnce, and TherEFore, Protector.
So it was that, at the Tail End of the First Half Against the New ORLEANS on Thursday, Pelicans Lottery Pick Jeremiah Fears – A Former Illinois Commit Who EVENULLY LANDED at OKLHOMA – Gave Timberwolves First-Round Pick Joan Beringer A Little Chicken Wing that Shannon WasnT A Fan of.
Shannon’s Response? A show for a show.

It’s getting a Little Chippy in the Summer League 👀

After Some Jawing Between the Pair and Some PrototyPical NBA Holding Back of Teammates, Both Shannon and Fears Walked Away from the Altercation.
In a postgame intercess, Shannon Spoke about Sticking up for his Rook:
“Joan Ain’t Gonna Say Nothing Back,” Shannon SAID. “I Gotta Have My Boy’s Back.”
