Sure hope he makes a roster somewhere.
Numbers I found is Garza is shooting 37%, not scoring 37ppg. Am I mis-interpreting something?

Crazy the turn around Wolves had from last year. Where all talk was about how terrible of a trade Gobert was. Maybe it will work out for them after all.The Timberwolves (25-9) won at Houston (17-16) last night, 122-95.
Luka played 3 minutes, was 1-4 from the field, 0-2 from three, for 2 points and 1 rebound. He also had a turnover and 1 foul.
The Wolves currently have the best record in the Western Conference.
I really believe the last qtr of last season and the playoffs were huge for the wolves.Crazy the turn around Wolves had from last year. Where all talk was about how terrible of a trade Gobert was. Maybe it will work out for them after all.
Their head coach has to be on track for coach of the year. He's won championships in Europe, maybe he has a shot this year.
Currently worse win pct than 2011-2012 Charlotte Bobcats (7-59, .106)Maybe Detroit should have kept Garza.
4-36? Is that some kind of record?
Overall not a bad gig - hoops and $$Luka is in between the proverbial rock and a hard spot. Too good for the G League, but not considered good enough to play regularly in the NBA. Still, the salary is good. Maybe he gets his kicks playing international ball for the Bosnian team.
Thanks @Franisdaman for keeping up with this. 😍Minnesota (34-14) beat Dallas (26-22) at home, 121-87. Minnesota has the 2nd best record in the NBA (Boston is 37-11).
9 Wolves players played 14 or more minutes.
Luka got 5 shots up in his 5 minutes of playing time.

Hopefully he can get a regular roster spot for another team.It’s amazing how much talent the wolves have at the center position. Wish Garza could get some more minutes, even elsewhere if necessary. Also some additional dollars would not hurt.

Also, the dollars that KAT, Gobert and even Naz are earning is crazy. Something like $90MM per year between them.
Right?🤷🏻♂️it's crazy how Luka is 4th string on the Wolves. you'd think that a team could use Garza as a back up to their center.
