The Minnesota Timberwolves were back in action on Wednesday to take on the tanking Toronto Raptors, losers of 14 in a row who were down nine players.
Among those nine was two-way player Jontay Porter, out for what the team deemed “personal reasons,” and definitely not because of a major gambling scandal for betting unders on his own player props.

This game fell on the second night of a back-to-back for both teams, as the Raptors fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in Toronto last night and the Wolves all but ended the Houston Rockets’ postseason hopes on Tuesday with a 113-106 win.
