Luka Garza Out for Timberwolves with Ankle Injury
Luka Garza of the Minnesota Timberwolves is dealing with a left ankle sprain. He will not be playing in their upcoming games. This news comes after Garza was previously listed as questionable due to the same injury.
What It Means
Garza’s absence impacts the Timberwolves’ depth at center. Although he averages 3.9 points per game, his shooting accuracy stands at an impressive 56%. The team will rely more on Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid during his recovery.
The Timberwolves face the Atlanta Hawks next on December 23rd. With Garza out, Gobert and Reid are expected to handle more minutes. This could affect rotations and strategies as they adjust without him on the court.
