With Anthony Edwards out, the Minnesota Timberwolves will be forced to play Rob Dillingham every night. Fans have been asking for that all along — so while Ant's injury isn't good by any means, it does potentially set up Dillingham to earn a permanent spot in a rotation that lacks a real starting point guard... Or any point guard, for that matter.
But Dillingham, who played 12 minutes on Monday in the team's first game without Ant, still doesn't have a clear path to regular minutes on a team desperate for guard play. Bones Hyland (16 minutes) struggled mightily from the field, shooting 1-for-6 in the game, but still saw more court time than Dillingham did.
