With the Timberwolves set to host the Knicks Tuesday night, the trio isn’t expected to play but will rejoin practices and start ramping up to return soon.
Minnesota is still without several other players, including stars Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell as well as forward Jarred Vanderbilt due to COVID-19 protocols.
