The realities of playing basketball during a surge in the COVID-19 pandemic continue to force teams to alter their starting lineups and adjust their rotations.
For example: the Timberwolves.
Minnesota coach Chris Finch knew he'd be without Anthony Edwards and Taurean Prince because both were in the league's health and safety protocols when the Wolves tipped off against Dallas at Target Center Sunday night.
But then Josh Okogie found himself added to the list, not long before the team started warming up for the game. With Nathan Knight and McKinley Wright with the Wolves' G League affiliate in Iowa, that left Finch with 10 available players for the game.
