For the second-consecutive game, Andrew Wiggins stepped up when the Wolves needed him to.
The Wolves came away with a 126-118 road win over the Clippers in Los Angeles on Monday night, despite not having Jimmy Butler (knee) or Jamal Crawford (toe). While it’s generally a good thing to have those two on the court for the Wolves, Wiggins made sure the Wolves didn’t miss a beat, putting up a 40 spot on the Clippers, his sixth 40th-point game of his career and first of the season.
Minnesota hopes Butler isn’t out for long, but it’s an opportunity for Wiggins to get some confidence and grow a bit.
