Jordan McLaughlin returned to the Minnesota Timberwolves’ lineup and received a warm welcome Sunday vs. the Denver Nuggets. The 30 games McLaughlin missed with a calf injury shined a light on the value he can provide the Wolves, and fans showed how glad they were to have him back.
McLaughlin didn’t put up crazy numbers in his first game back: He went for two points, three assists and one turnover in 12 minutes. But he did showcase a little of that magic as well as the positive, subtle influence he has on Minnesota’s play style.
