Possible Timberwolves-Giannis trade has one glaring red flag

Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently out of the lineup for the Milwaukee Bucks with a strained right calf that he suffered on January 23. That same calf was strained in early December, causing the two-time MVP to miss eight consecutive outings. Prior to the two calf strains, Antetokounmpo strained his groin and was out for four straight games in late November.

Compare that to the current frontcourt of the Minnesota Timberwolves. It is extremely rare to see any of Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert, or Naz Reid out of the lineup, and that’s been a relief for a Timberwolves team that isn’t exactly the deepest in the league.
