PRESCOTT VALLEY, ARIZ. – The Timberwolves invested millions in their very own G League team precisely for days such as Thursday.
That’s when little-played guard Marcus Georges-Hunt rose in San Francisco while his teammates slept, caught a commercial flight ahead of their charter to Phoenix and rode two hours through the desert mountains to play a game that night for the new Iowa Wolves against the Northern Arizona Suns.
In the NBA, the undrafted second-year prospect played 11 minutes in the first 11 games this season. On Thursday, he played 39½ minutes before about 1,000 fans at the Prescott Valley Events Center.
