Ten minutes before the Timberwolves' pregame meeting Wednesday, rookie Wendell Moore Jr. didn't know he was starting. The team even announced on Twitter a starting lineup that did not have Moore listed.
But just before that meeting, the coaching staff informed Moore he was going to be starting. The 26th overall pick in the draft said it was almost a blessing in disguise that he didn't have much time to think about his first NBA start. He just had to get ready to play without dwelling on it.
"I came here and it was just another day," Moore said after Wednesday's 109-101 win over Memphis.
