Luka Garza and Tyler Cook
Since our last check-in, Luka’s hot run in the regular season came to a halt. Luka played just 2 minutes in Minnesota’s final three games before the break, with those 2 minutes coming in a 128-107 loss to Memphis on February 10. Despite that drop in game time, Garza was still named as a captain for one of two teams in the G League Next Up Game. Garza promptly hung 23 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists in 21 minutes as Team Garza beat Team Scoot (chosen by Scoot Henderson), 178-162. The performance led to game MVP honors for Garza.
