Minnesota's D'Angelo Russell (ankle) remains out on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

What It Means:

Russell will miss his second straight game after Minnesota's point guard recently suffered a right ankle injury. Patrick Beverley should see more minutes at the guard positions against a Clippers' unit rated seventh in defensive efficiency utilizing numberFire's power rankings.

Beverley's current projection includes 8.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.
