Sounds like Kat would have been very likely to play today but he got sick.

He didn't travel to the last game because he was "sick" too. So that makes two games... and at least 3 days.

With how the Wolves are operating this season... that's only another 14 games to go. He'll be over his "illness" by February 10.

That is unless he gets a toothache. Oh oh!

Doesnt all this playing time for Shabazz Napier prove we are tanking? We're starting our inferior option by a mile at point (I know Teague has problems).

Shabazz shots 38% and 27% from 3. 3-10 with him as a starter. Yuck.

Ya and Teague had it going tonight. Napier played 3 good games now gets consistent starter minutes

KAT is playing in a Call of Duty tournament. Glad he's got his priorities straight. This team deserves to fold.

It is a bit odd. It's one thing if Napier were our lotto pick rookie that we are trying to develop into the team leader, but Napier is on a vet one-year deal, so not sure what the purpose is. I suppose it might be to provide a bit more scoring punch off the bench. IDK, hard for me to get too upset about it because I just don't like the way Teague plays.

I get frustrated with Teague too, but tanking seems like a plausible answer when all other options fail to make sense. Napier dribbles a lot too so it really isnt about getting Culver those reps. Its weird.
