Gorgui Dieng’s playing time has been slashed since the Minnesota Timberwolves signed Taj Gibson to a two-year contract in the 2017 offseason.
Gibson has been every bit of a great signing, but it’s come at the cost of Dieng’s play.
Before Gibson, Dieng was starting alongside of Karl-Anthony Towns and the former Louisville Cardinal looked like a legitimate starter. Is it a coincidence that his success has started to come with Gibson on the sideline with a left calf strain? Hopefully the injury isn’t too serious and he will be able to lace them up in a Timberwolves uniform before the season ends.
