Earlier this season, when the Timberwolves were going through a losing streak, Anthony Edwards remarked that once the Wolves had everybody back healthy again, they would be just fine. He was right.
Eventually, the Wolves got players back healthy and won seven of eight. But the reality of the life in the NBA is more complicated — not everyone who plays heavy minutes is always going to be available. The Wolves have had players in and out of the lineup over the last week because of injury and illness. As a result, they have now lost three straight, the latest coming 121-110 to Atlanta on Monday at Target Center.
