The Timberwolves hosted Golden State at Target Center Thursday in a game between teams struggling with illness and injury.
The Wolves' list of unavailable players remains long, with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Andrew Wiggins (illness) and Jake Layman (toe) among the many out. Golden State? Of course, the Warriors started the season without Steph Curry or Klay Thompson, both injured. They also were without D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) and Willie Cauley-Stein (illness) Thursday.
So what fans saw was a lot of youth, a number of players who split time with the G League.
It can be frustrating, of course.
