Four phases
Timberwolves team psychologist Justin Anderson sees the pandemic playing out in four stages for players:
1. Uncertainty phase — when players did not know what the government response to the virus was going to be.
2. Isolation phase — where players are now.
3. Anger-fear-and-depression stage.
4. Ultimate-goal phase — coming out on the other side and seeing what changes come from going through this situation.
