In addition to Jarred Vanderbilt and Naz Reid, Jordan McLaughlin has been ruled out for tonight with groin tightness. But Patrick Beverley will make his return.
Jaden McDaniels get the start in place of Vanderbilt. DLo + Beverley + Edwards + McDaniels + KAT will be the starters. – 8:04 PM

What we saw last time the Wolves played the Spurs was the normal arc of what happens when teams try to guard KAT with a traditional 5 (like Poeltl) — they give up at halftime.
In the 2nd half the smalls take KAT, trying to disrupt him on the perimeter, with doubles coming inside pic.twitter.com/4cgPvuAQIb – 7:48 PM

Pop on Timberwolves coach Chris Finch:
“He’s turned them around. It’s an aggressive team, and the big thing is, you can look at the analytics and they have done better and this, that and the other, but they believe that they are a hell of a team.” – 7:40 PM

“Out of everything, you had one job and that was to make one more bucket.”
Spurs notebook: Tre Jones is taking grief on all fronts after coming one free throw away from a triple-double, plus a Doug McDermott injury update and more.

With Jarred Vanderbilt and Naz Reid both out, we will see Nate Knight tonight.
This late-game stretch against OKC is a pretty good representation of what Knight brings:
– Forceful as a roll man
– Has passing chops
– Fights on glass
– Chaos when navigating more than one defender pic.twitter.com/9qVDUq5Vju – 7:20 PM

Pop suggested the severity of Doug McDermott’s ankle sprain could go beyond the day-to-day type injury.
“He did it pretty good…I don’t know…But he will be out for a while.” – 7:15 PM

A couple of Timberwolves media folks congratulated Pop on the record. A few minutes later, he reminded media that “it’s not mine.” Went on to credit several others, including Red McCombs, Robert McDermott and the Holts…It belongs to a whole lot of of people.” – 7:11 PM

Pop, reflecting on how the wins record is not his alone, credited David Robinson with saving the franchise when he signed w/ Spurs in ’87:
“…He could have left, and if he had left, I don’t know if we would be here – might be in trouble. A lot of good things have happened…” – 7:04 PM

The Wolves are catching the other side of opponent injury luck in this one tonight against the Spurs.
San Antonio’s three best players (Murray, Poeltl and Johnson) all missed the Spurs last game but look set to return tonight against Minnesota. – 5:32 PM
