D'Angelo Russell was on the Target Center floor with five minutes to play in Game 6 of the Timberwolves' series against Memphis and the score tied at 97.
But with 4 minutes, 53 seconds remaining in the must-win game, coach Chris Finch sent Jordan McLaughlin in for Russell, who was 3-for-7 from the field with four assists and four turnovers, one of which had just led to a Memphis three-pointer.
Russell struggled most of the series against the Grizzlies and wouldn't return to the game, a 114-106 loss that ended Minnesota's season.
There was thinking that Russell wouldn't return to the Wolves at all.
