The Wolves, who beat the Celtics on Monday night despite having all five starters sidelined after positive COVID-19 tests, are starting to get their players back from the NBA's health and safety protocols.
They're back: Timberwolves Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid and Taurean Prince clear NBA's protocols
The three, sidelined because of COVID-19, will return to competition reconditioning.
Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid and Taurean Prince came off protocols on Tuesday and were listed as "return to competition reconditioning" by the team.
Only Reid will play tonight, however, and guard Patrick Beverley, who came out of protocols Monday, will also return to the lineup.
Four players — Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and McKinley Wright — are still out because of COVID-19. The Wolves signed center Greg Monroe to a 10-day contract and he was outstanding in Monday's victory.
Fans shouldn’t let the uneven performance of the current roster fool them into thinking that there is a magic trade available that will improve this team; What this Wolves team needs is patience and stability.
