Minnesota's Nemanja Bjelica (foot) to miss fifth straight game on Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau said that forward Nemanja Bjelica will not play on Friday, reports the Star Tribune's Jerry Zgoda.
What It Means:
Bjelica's foot issue has kept him out of the lineup for the last four games and, unfortunately, that streak will continue tonight. Gorgui Dieng should continue to play 20-plus minutes off the bench for Minnesota.
Bjelica was projected for 15.7 minutes, 6.0 points and 12.9 FanDuel points prior being ruled out against the Oklahoma City Thunder. His next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
