GARZA IS GOING GARZILLA RIGHT NOW! This game should have been put to bed but Garza has gone bananas. He's got 17 pts, 5 rbs in 10 minutes. He only came in for garbage time and the TWolves are down only 6.
In 23 minutes! He's instant offense, he's gotta stick around in Minnesota. F Detroit for letting him go
Funny what injuries and decent PT can do for a player such as Luka.
I'd say as long as KAT is out and Gobert is hobbled, that PT will continue. Garza is still probably 4th banana on the T-Wolves at center, so he has take advantage of this opportunity.

Yeah, nba is funny… even the fringe guys are really really good. You’ll often see dudes buried on the depth chart see good playing time from injuries… go nuts for 2-3 games… and then disappear again.
That's what I'm afraid of here. Gobert and KAT get healthy and the PT disappears.
Yet Luka the last 3 games has got 55 minutes and put up 61 points. That's going to raise some eyebrows, but he has to keep up that type of pace. He's got to score to have NBA roster/PT value.
Aaaaand then last night happens. Gobert returns, Luka gets 2 minutes. Looking at the box score, Memphis didn't positionally list a center so maybe it was matchup related - yet Minnesota played Gobert/Reid 47 minutes.
7 points, 5 Fts, 3 boards & 2 fouls in 3 minutes for Luka. That is awesome 🤣
Nice 3-1 road trip with wins over both LA teams and the Kings. Keagan struggled tonight and Garza in sweats.
They are better with him in at spurts, IMO.
He commits fouls almost as quickly as he scores.
Interesting. I can’t watch the games. Feel like if they gave him minutes he would score major points.
