The Timberwolves got some welcome news on the injury front Sunday, as point guard Jordan McLaughlin made his return from a left calf strain.
McLaughlin was back in the rotation on a minutes restriction against Denver in his first game since Dec. 9. He missed 30 consecutive games because of the strain. Before that, McLaughlin missed five games because of the injury and played in three before re-aggravating in a game against the Jazz.
"He's huge for us. He brings a ton of energy. Makes winning plays," coach Chris Finch said. "A lot of guys play really well alongside of him.
