Illness settles in for a long ride with the Wolves

Whatever bug has been plaguing the Timberwolves just won't go away.

Over the past few weeks, Andrew Wiggins, Treveon Graham, Shabazz Napier and Karl-Anthony Towns have missed time because of illness. Others have played through it.

"We're into analytics, but I don't have the analytics on that," Saunders said. "From my experience, this is as long as I've known [it to last], but we were looking around the locker room after the game [Monday] and reading some of the other health reports, there's a number of teams that have gone through the flu bug too.
