Jimmy Butler didn’t play in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ thrilling win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.
Many fans would like to interpret this as the team looking to trade him. After all, it would be nice for all this drama to come to an end, giving the Wolves the opportunity to roll with a new squad.
But, at the end of the dark and never-ending tunnel, there’s light. And that light is rookie first-round pick Josh Okogie being given the opportunity to play in more games.
The Timberwolves drafted him with the 20th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, and in what is an admittedly small sample size, the pick is looking to be a major steal.
