Bennett did not score and played just eight minutes in Wednesday's preseason win over Milwaukee, but head coach Flip Saunders said he was just being rested and it wasn't setback to his sore knee, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Bennett has drawn raves for his rebounding and energy in the preseason (averaging 14 points with eight rebounds in the three preseason games where he played more than 11 minutes), so this minimal outing likely doesn't impact his potential role for the regular season. Bennett will start off the bench, but could find a significant role at small and power forward.
