I mentioned before that he's battling 2 separate leg injuries, so even though the Wolves never sustain long-term injuries (ha-ha), there's a chance this is another Culver/KAT/Layman/etc it's-worse-than-we-thought kind of deal. So, if DLO is out long-term, how does the J-Mac contract work? How many games is he forced to miss the rest of the season, and if it's many, do we start looking for another PG to back up Rubio. Mudiay? The return of Shabazz?
Prior to the season's start, J-Mac could play a maximum of 50 games this season. He's played in 13 of the 25 games so far with 47 games remaining in a 72-game season. So he could theoretically play in 37 of those final 47. I don't think Minnesota will be looking for any additional help at point guard even if D-Lo is out long-term.
Thanks Cam. Nothing about DLO's injury sounds serious, but this is the wolves after all, so we always have to think worst case.

The Wolves are 4-16 without Kat this year (.200), the Wolves are 1-4 without Dlo this year (.200). Is Dlo just as valuable is Kat. Those questions I think need to be asked over the next couple of weeks. Big game for Kat tonight if the Wolves lose Dlo becomes the more valuable player to the Wolves franchise :-P

Kek, I love your stupid logic. You should propose that DLO be a backup as the Wolves are undefeated in that scenario as opposed to however bad the Wolves are when DLO starts.

IDK man this might be Kat biggest game of his career tonight. He has the pressure on him is he the true franchise player on this team. Big big game for Kat tonight. I think if we lose tonight it just proves Dlo is more valuable because we win at a lower rate when he sits compared to Kat.

Doogie spoke to Rosas today and said Culver is 7-10 days out. Dlo he says it he hopes its not serious but they want to be cautious. It sounds so tanky to me.

Joe Mauer disagrees. Leg weakness/soreness is a very real thing.
Maybe?

I legit believe that he is hurt or at least banged up but I wish the Wolves didn't have such a lack on communication with its fans when it comes to injuries.

Wolves win another one without DLO. Its a shame Rosas gave up both picks next year just so we could take on DLO's max contract. DLO is an expensive cheerleader. I miss Mark Madsen.
