The All-Star point guard missed Saturday’s game against the Clippers with a quad contusion two days after the Timberwolves acquired him from the Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins, a 2021 first-round draft pick and a 2021 second-round draft pick.
In his fifth season, Russell is averaging a career-high 23.6 points per game to go with 6.2 assists. His 37.4 3-point percent is also a career-high. This quad injury also forced Russell to miss last Monday’s game against the Wizards in Washington.
The game will air on Fox Sports North, 830 WCCO and the Timberwolves App.
