These days, Foye spends most of his time at his new home in Middletown, N.J., about 45 minutes south of Newark. He and his fiancée Christine Rivera, are the parents of a five month old daughter and he has a regular workout regimen at nearby Rumson-Fair Haven High School and Monmouth University that often includes former backcourt mate Mike Nardi.
His foundation has several projects already underway. It is undertaking
a program to rebuild and renovate First/Third Street Park in Newark’s
north ward located at the end of the street where Foye grew up. The
goal is to raise $750,000 which the city has pledged to match. There is
an Assist 4 Life Program that identifies children at the crossroads and
aims to steer them in the right direction through after-school
activities, educational projects and mentoring programs. Another
undertaking is Team Foyeboy, a program that aids underprivileged youth
basketball programs in association with Nike, the NBA, and corporate
sponsors.

Chris Mannix/SI.com on Gerald Green:
In 29 games, the 6-foot-8 swingman averaged only 5.1 points for a Timberwolves team that already had a glut of young players at his position, including former lottery picks Corey Brewer and Rashad McCants. Moreover, frequent mental lapses put Green in Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman’s doghouse.
"There were times I would play but more times that I wouldn’t," said
Green, the 18th pick in the 2005 draft. "I’m not mad at Minnesota. It’s
a business. Coach is a great guy; he just had a lot of young players
and I was on the back burner."

Love has scored 18 points in both games so far and is shooting 52% from the field. Corey Brewer (19 points) and Pooh Jeter (15 points) also came up big in the T’Wolves loss.
