In their first day back at practice since All-Star Weekend, the Timberwolves are feeling optimistic.
Much of that has to do with the possible return of point guard Tyus Jones. Jones expects to be a full participant in Thursday’s practice and if that indeed goes well, he’ll play on Friday night in New York against the Knicks.
“I’m not saying for sure if I’m playing Friday, but if tomorrow’s practice goes well, that will be the goal, so we’ll see how tomorrow goes and kind of move on from there,” Jones said after Wednesday’s practice.
That would mark Jones’ first game since Jan.
