MEMPHIS – As they have been at various times this season, the Timberwolves are short on point guards. With Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose out for the remainder of the season, the Wolves have only two healthy point guards for their remaining 10 games — Tyus Jones and Jerryd Bayless.
On Thursday against Charlotte, however, there were moments where neither was initiating the offense. Instead, that responsibility went to Andrew Wiggins.
It wasn’t the first time this season Wiggins has handled the ball, and over the final weeks of the season he will take on that role for a few minutes each game when Jones and Bayless are resting, interim coach Ryan Saunders said.
