Tyus Jones has been an important part of the Minnesota Timberwolves regular rotation for the better part of three seasons. Now, he’ll be in a walking boot for a few days and miss the next several games due to an ankle sprain.
The Timberwolves have had a revolving door of sorts at the point guard position this year.
Regular starter Jeff Teague has only appeared in 29 of the team’s 44 games due to knee and ankle injuries. Jones started six games in Teague’s absence, causing sixth-man Derrick Rose, who has mostly played shooting guard in Minnesota, to slide over to backup point guard.
