Rob Dillingham didn't play during the Timberwolves' season opener. However, that had more to do with the Trail Blazers than Dillingham.

Second-year Minnesota Timberwolves guard Rob Dillingham didn't see the floor on Wednesday's 118-114 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Dillingham, who averaged just 10.5 minutes as a rookie, was widely expected to take on a bigger role. It's easy to view this game as a lack of confidence in Dillingham from Chris Finch, especially since Bones Hyland played eight minutes in the fourth quarter.
