LAS VEGAS (AP) — Alex Rodriguez was standing near his courtside seat, oblivious to a few fans who were snapping a quick photo of the baseball great as they walked by. He was watching the Minnesota Timberwolves warm up instead. Rodriguez is currently part of the Timberwolves’ ownership group, with plans in place for he and business partner Marc Lore to assume control and become primary owners next year. The former slugger said Wednesday that he’s enjoying his transitions from baseball to basketball and from player to executive. He noted that he’s still learning.
