Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid and Taurean Prince came off protocols on Tuesday and were listed as "return to competition reconditioning" by the team.
Only Reid will play tonight, however, and guard Patrick Beverley, who came out of protocols Monday, will also return to the lineup.
Four players — Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt and McKinley Wright — are still out because of COVID-19. The Wolves signed center Greg Monroe to a 10-day contract and he was outstanding in Monday's victory.
The frenzied final seconds go Minnesota's way, producing a victory in the aftermath of Anthony Edwards’ candid comments about the team.
