DETROIT – Since the All-Star break, the Timberwolves have had little time to rest.
Wednesday night was their third set of back-to-back games since the break.
They will have another set of consecutive games this weekend, but both of those will be at home.
There is relief in sight, however. Following this weekend, the Wolves will have only two sets of back to backs the rest of the season.
Interim coach Ryan Saunders said he has been in close contact with the medical staff and with players on how to handle minutes.
"You see what guys have been through it before," he said.
