For everyone but Karl-Anthony Towns — who played in his first NBA All-Star Game on Sunday — it has been more than a week since the last time anyone on the Timberwolves roster played a game.
This is a good thing.
Already deeper into the season than normal, the break was good for the whole league. But perhaps more so for the Wolves. No team played more games in January than the Wolves. And no team had played as many games as the Wolves before the break. Ask Jamal Crawford, who has been in the league for nearly two decades.
