Minnesota Timberwolves’ Jaden McDaniels won’t be playing for the rest of Monday’s game against the New York Knicks due to a right ankle sprain.
The defensive standout injured his ankle during a defensive play, landing on a teammate’s foot after contesting a shot.
With McDaniels out early, expect Nickeil Alexander-Walker to see increased playing time, making him a starter if McDaniels remains sidelined beyond tonight’s game.
