Okogie (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench Sunday in the Timberwolves' 116-111 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
With single-digit minutes in each of the Wolves' previous three games, Okogie was barely clinging to a rotation spot heading into Sunday. The return of D'Angelo Russell (ankle) from a three-game absence proved to be the death knell for Okogie, who didn't play for the first time since early November due to a non-injury-related reason. The defensive-minded Okogie looks like he'll be behind all of Russell, Anthony Edwards, Malik Beasley and Jaden McDaniels for playing time at either shooting guard or small forward.
