Timberwolves likely without Jaden McDaniels for rest of preseason

The Timberwolves were again without forward Jaden McDaniels for a second consecutive preseason game Saturday as he is dealing with what the team is calling a minor left calf strain.

McDaniels will be re-evaluated in approximately "a week and a half," the team said. McDaniels is around the team and rehabilitating his injury.

McDaniels could still play in the season opener against Toronto on Oct. 25, but this timeline means he likely won't play in any of the Wolves' upcoming preseason games. Nickeil-Alexander Walker earned the start in McDaniels' place for the Wolves' game at New York on Saturday.
