Mcdaniels out again today. With a left calf strain, will be reevaluated next week. Not the best news. Not sure if it’s a Tj Hockenson contract injury situation. Or is it a little more troubling situation

Doesn't sound good. Can't afford to have him miss regular season time. I hope his agent is having him stand down until a deal can be made.

Not sure what is going on with Jaden injury-wise, but I really want us to sign him before the season starts.

Bummer about McDaniels. I suspect the Wolves are being extra cautious with Jaden given the calf injuries last season to KAT and JMac.

I see today’s game as a critical test for the Wolves. Dallas was one thing; the Knicks are another. My 44-win projection wasn’t a based on doubts about the Wolves talent; it was based on my sense that this team lacks a clear identify and also lacks toughness (physical and mental). The Knicks are a good, not great, team. But they’re better than Dallas, and more significantly, the Knicks have toughness. Tonight’s game will tell us quite a bit about the Wolves and whether my doubts about our team’s identify and toughness are well founded.

i'll be there again tonight. good dress rehearsal

Not sure anyone should get their knickers in a bunch if we play poorly tonight .

Wolves miss Jaden.

Not going to show in the score but the wolves offense is creating great looks. Naw and Ant have missed 5 wide open 3s

Kat is looking good. His passes were really good, guys just missed the open shots.

Agreed 100% offense in general has looked good.
At the time out the offense has lead to
A Kat dunk
Rudy put back (fouled)
3 wide open Naw 3s (missed)
2 wide open Ant 3s (missed)
Ant hitting a pull up 3
Ant missing a contested pull up jumper
Kat missing a semi contested 3.

Good offense sets, they have just missed some good looks
