A box showed up at Malik Beasley’s door Thursday, sent from Timberwolves President Gersson Rosas and Vice President of Performance and Technology Robby Sikka.
The contents, however, weren’t meant for Beasley. Instead, they were for Beasley’s son, Makai, who was celebrating his first birthday. Inside were Spider-Man toys, a coloring book with some crayons and of course some sports gear. Beasley posted his thanks on Instagram to Rosas and Sikka, who got a big assist assembling the box from Rachel Saunders, the manager of team services.
This is emblematic of the approach the Wolves have tried to take with players as they deal with the coronavirus pandemic — to try and be there for their players and their families as they navigate this crisis.
