First Cup: Wednesday

Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune: Brandon Roy on Tuesday left the Timberwolves cap that he wore so briefly so long ago back home in his mother's Seattle living room, but he officially, finally returned six years later to the NBA franchise that drafted him. ... Roy made three NBA All-Star Games in five seasons after the Wolves drafted him sixth overall in 2006 and then quickly traded him to Portland for Randy Foye and a big chunk of Blazers owner Paul Allen's cash.
