Neal (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets. An illness, and now an ankle issue, have kept Neal out of six of the last seven games, and he'll continue to sit out through Friday's matchup with Houston. With a number of injuries to key players, the Wolves have relied upon Zach LaVine and Lorenzo Brown for production in the backcourt. Recent 10-day signee Sean Kilpatrick has also been a part of the rotation, and he played 24 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
