Yogi Ferrell was a wonderful surprise in Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 17 points and 6 assists in just 16 minutes of action off the bench. Both totals are season highs for Ferrell, who had played sporadic minutes lately and mostly in garbage time. But when given a bigger opportunity, Yogi stepped up and turned heads. After the game, Kings coach Dave Joerger praised Ferrell for staying professional and staying ready (via James Ham):
“Hats off to Yogi Ferrell about being a professional and being ready for an opportunity,”
“ We preach that with our young guys - staying ready, staying ready, staying ready.
