Minnesota's Nemanja Bjelica (foot) not expected to play Wednesday

Per Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau said forward Nemanja Bjelica joined the team in Los Angeles but that he didn't expect him to play Wednesday against the Clippers.

What It Means:

For Bjelica, the absence will be his eighth straight with a foot injury. He has been listed as day-to-day, but we'll see if there's an update going into Sunday's home game against Dallas. This is at least a positive sign for his return. Gorgui Dieng will continue to play more minutes until Bjelica makes his way back.

Averaging 13.2 FanDuel points per game, Bjelica is projected for 14.4 FD points if he's somehow able to take the floor tonight.
