Minnesota’s evening would have been perfect Monday after the victory in overtime against Boston, if the Wolves had not lost Jordan McLaughlin in the battle. Backup Mike Conley injured his knee in the third quarter and yesterday’s MRI confirmed a sprained right knee.
The Minneapolis franchise clarified that the 27-year-old leader would only be re-evaluated by the medical staff in four weeks. This is another hard blow for the leader who had shown good things during his first three seasons in Minnesota, notably in the playoff series against the Grizzlies in 2022, but who has struggled to confirm since. His playing time has not exceeded six minutes since the restart.
To replace him and ensure the rotation behind Mike Conley, Minnesota should opt for the Nix/Milton pair.
Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin has a right knee MCL sprain and will be examined again in four weeks, team says.
