Timberwolves build strategy into completing COVID vaccination

After their win over Golden State on Thursday night, the Timberwolves attended to some necessary business before heading home — getting their second doses of COVID vaccine.

Instead of getting it the following day, the Wolves got the shot after the game Thursday to try to maximize their recovery time from potential side effects as Saturday's game against New Orleans approached.

Coach Chris Finch, who said he "personally felt a little bit more of an effect," said it was a "mixed bag" how players felt afterward, but most were fine at shootaround Saturday.

"Some guys felt it, some guys were OK," Finch said.
