As Wolves have slumped, rookie Kris Dunn seeing minutes go up

INDIANAPOLIS – During a season when their defense seemingly has capitulated with 10 games still remaining, rest assured that the Timberwolves are not Dunn yet.

OK, sorry about that …

In the three games since the Wolves returned from a 0-3 Eastern trip that all but ended their playoff aspirations, rookie point guard Kris Dunn's playing time has more than doubled.

After he played an average of 12 minutes in March's first nine games, Dunn has averaged 29.3 minutes in the Wolves' past three games — including nearly 29 minutes in Saturday's 112-100 loss at Portland — now that they're once again playing for the draft lottery and next year.
