Timberwolves' Kelan Martin beelines from Iowa to make start for against Nets

The phone call for Kelan Martin to rejoin the Timberwolves on Saturday came at 10 a.m.

They had him booked on a flight from Des Moines that was set to leave 80 minutes from then.

"I had to get up and get moving because I was tired from the night before," Martin said.

Martin made his flight. Thanks in part to a small delay, he didn't have to sprint to the gate.

In making Saturday's game and starting, Martin played in three consecutive games (two with with Wolves, one at G League Iowa) in three consecutive nights, something that fellow rookie Jaylen Nowell also did recently.
