3 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves point guard Patrick Beverley and power forward Jarred Vanderbilt are the latest additions to the league's health and safety protocols. The duo joins teammates Anthony Edwards and Taurean Prince in being sidelined for the time being, thereby opening additional minutes for Jaylen Nowell and Jaden McDaniels. D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns can be presumed to take on even larger roles while their teammates are unavailable, with their elevated usage set to commence Tuesday vs. Dallas. Beverley has excelled to the tune of averaging 10.5 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 boards across six December outings, giving him short-term, season-long viability when cleared.--Jesse Borek
