He was questionable for Sunday as well, but played 29 minutes against the Lakers. Possibly the Wolves will be cautious and hold out Wiggins in the second game of the back-to-back set.

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas (calf) is expected to miss at least one week of game action. He's already missed three games in a row due to a left calf strain. The Wizards aren't going to rush Thomas back to the court. Ish Smith will start in his place and has played well the last […]
