It has been a rather disappointing second NBA season for Rob Dillingham. Since being selected eighth overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, the soon-to-be 21-year-old (January 4) has never gained the full trust of Chris Finch.
A fully healthy Timberwolves squad now sees Dillingham out of the rotation. The team has seen recent injuries, though, which have allowed him to play some minutes again. Dillingham needs to take advantage to ensure he can stay in the rotation, but Saturday was yet another example of him not really doing so.
Dillingham scores seven in loss to Nets
Minnesota recently learned it would be without guard Terrence Shannon Jr.
