D'Angelo Russell was already ruled out of Friday's game against Charlotte because of left leg soreness but it appears the Timberwolves guard will be out for Sunday's game against Toronto in Florida as well.
Russell did not make the trip for this two-game road swing, coach Ryan Saunders said Friday.
"He's continuing to progress and I don't have other information other than they're just continuing to evaluate him," Saunders said.
Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns have still only played five games together since Russell came to Minnesota. Towns was in the lineup for his second game back from his battle with COVID-19.
Jarrett Culver was ruled out because of the left ankle sprain that has kept him out since Jan. 25 but Saunders said Culver did make the trip.
The Wolves play the Raptors in Tampa, Fla., on Sunday, with the Raptors playing their home games there this season because of coronavirus restrictions in Canada forcing them to play out of the country.
Towns discusses accident
While he was out of the lineup over the last month, Towns revealed on his Instagram account that he was in a car accident during the offseason while in Los Angeles.
Towns offered few details at the time but explained some of what happened during his postgame media session Wednesday. Towns said one afternoon around 2 p.m. he was on his way to a photo shoot for his girlfriend, model Jordyn Woods, when a driver, who Towns said was drunk, drifted over and hit him.
