After six games, the Timberwolves have their first significant injury of the season.
Point guard Jordan McLaughlin has a right MCL sprain and will be reevaluated in four weeks, the team said in a statement.
McLaughlin appeared to get injured late in the third quarter of Monday night's win over the Celtics when he collided with Boston guard Payton Pritchard. McLaughlin twisted and landed awkwardly. He stayed in the game to hit his two free throws but did not re-enter following that sequence.
McLaughlin was never the same last season after he suffered a calf injury early in the season.
