The NBA announced on Tuesday that Minnesota Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert had been fined $75,000 for making the money sign gesture toward officials during the Wolves' 115-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The league called the gesture "inappropriate" and "unprofessional," while also saying that the gesture "questions the integrity of the league and its game officials."

Luciano was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Luciano was set to get a second opportunity with the 49ers after appearing in two games with the franchise last season. However, he'll now hit the open market again to make room for swing tackle Chris Hubbard.

Benson went 0-for-4 with a walk in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to San Francisco. As has been customary of late, Benson found himself on the bench to start the game against a lefty, but he was needed when TJ Friedl was removed in the second inning with a thumb injury. Benson, whose average has hovered around .200 since April 19, is just 3-for-25 (.120) over 10 games during the month of May.

Hakanpaa (lower body) will remain on the shelf for Game 5 against the Avalanche on Wednesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports. Hakanpaa hasn't played since March 16 versus the Kings, a stretch of 24 games on the shelf due to his lower-body problem. At this point, until he shows up at practice, Hakanpaa should probably be considered out indefinitely. Even if cleared to play, the defenseman is far from a lock for a spot in the lineup anyway.

The Vikings agreed to terms with Reyes on Monday. Reyes was placed on the reserve/retired list in August 2023 due to an abundance of head injuries throughout his career. However, the 28-year-old tight end has been cleared to play once again and given a new opportunity in Minnesota. Reyes' most recent in-game action came back in 2021 with the Commanders, when he appeared in 11 games and played primarily on special teams (145 snaps). The Vikings picked up Reyes through the NFL's International Player Pathway program, and this signing does not count against the team's 90-player offseason roster limit.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.
