Injured Jaden McDaniels returns to Wolves' lineup with three regular-season games left

When Jaden McDaniels fell to the floor in pain on March 14 because of a high left ankle sprain, there was concern whether McDaniels would be able to return in time for the play-in tournament or the playoffs.

But a little over three weeks after McDaniels suffered the injury, he was back on the floor Tuesday night for the Wolves.

"We were hoping it would work out this way," coach Chris Finch said. "All credit to Jaden for putting the work in. All credit to our performance staff. They did an unbelievable job of getting him here a little bit ahead of schedule.
