Well, it's come to this: Flip Saunders added to his team's list of potentially injured or ill missing before tonight's game against New York and revealed that both Corey Brewer and Kevin Martin each had IVs this afternoon after they fell ill.
One reporter responded by laughing.
"You think it's really funny, don't you?" Saunders responded wryly. "I have a sportcoat in there, it's a blue one with a blue tie."
Flip could use all the help he can get.
Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic, Thad Young, Ronny Turiaf are all out tonight and Brewer and Martin are expected to try to play despite not feeling well.
Even assistant coach David Adelman is out.
Saunders said he will search the Target Center corridors for tall guys and would activate Calvin Booth if he could.
He can't, so he's modifying his starting lineup by putting veteran Mo Williams alongside Martin in the backcourt while giving Shabazz Muhammad his first NBA career start in Young's power-forward spot alongside Andrew Wiggins and Gorgui Dieng up front.
