The Minnesota Timberwolves can't seem to catch a break.
First, the mysterious Jake Layman toe sprain in mid-November that has apparently turned out to be much more serious than expected. (The Fox Sports North broadcast called it turf toe at one point, which is indeed more serious than a sprain.)
Then, an unlucky losing streak that was partially brought on by The Untucked Jersey Debacle in Oklahoma City back on Dec. 6. The loss to the Thunder was the third in a row, on the heels of a hard-fought battle in Dallas 48 hours earlier.
