The injuries and illnesses that have hit the Timberwolves over the past few weeks have opened up some opportunities to play for those who were previously sitting at the end of the bench.
Rookie guard Leandro Bolmaro entered the rotation at Philadelphia on Nov. 27 and hasn't left.
With center Karl-Anthony Towns out against Brooklyn on Friday, the Wolves needed to lean on their frontcourt depth. That's where Nathan Knight entered and saw his first significant minutes of the season.
Knight played 13 minutes, 31 seconds against the Nets, collecting three points and five rebounds.
