High ankle sprain via woj and shams
I'd imagine he'll miss some time, which is unfortunate for Memphis, but maybe good for other teams trying to make the playoffs this season.
Trae Young is shooting 15+ free throws per game... in only 31 minutes.
Another young guy who's gotten on the good side of officials? Another crafty guy who is taking advantage of slight contact (and flopping) 30 feet from the hoop? Just another sign that having a foul-drawing guard is a really good thing for a team?
[Note: Russell is drawing a few fouls by stopping short 30+ feet from the hoop, too. It hasn't paid off in too many foul shots yet (2.7 per game). Hopefully, he keeps doing it more and more... even if I find it insufferable to watch. A big like Towns must go bezerk behind the scenes with this stuff. Let's not forget... he was "not" fouled on the drive to the hoop vs. Gobert when he was injured.]
Julius Randle posted a triple-double of 28 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists in a win against Cleveland. Nine turnovers is poor, but he did continue to shoot the ball well: 9-16 FG, 4-4 3P, 6-10 FT.

Wolves didn't need him.
If you're gonna point out Wiseman and Randle after every good game... I'm gonna keep trumping Haliburton... and how the Wolves could have traded down to get him and at least one other guy. We'll make every thread into our own personal "I'm the smartest guy in the room" fest.
5 - 7 fg... 3 - 4 3fg
15 points / 6 assists
56% fg / 53% 3fg / 21 assists vs. 3 TOs on the season)

And we didn't need Noel either. He had 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals in 16 minutes. The Knicks are paying him $5M on a one-year deal. But he's just another guy who wouldn't fit our system. Took an extra $2M per year and an extra year to get a PF who could play the modern style that Rosas and Ryan Saunders have brilliantly installed here in Minnesota.

Sacramento is 3 - 1.
I'm pointing out Randle's performances because I don't think Minnesota would be as fucked in the frontcourt as they are right now if they had him, especially with Towns out. There's a reason behind it.
Also, please do point out Haliburton's performances. You aren't alone in liking him. He was third on my big board if you recall. The kid is legitimately good.

I liked him more. You can't have all of them in the "smartest guy in the room" contest.
