With 2:21 left in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Zach LaVine was replaced by Malik Monk. Five minutes earlier, LaVine drove down the paint and turned his left ankle as he tried to plant.

LaVine was able to play through it and eventually jogged to the locker room, but he has now been ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Prior to exiting, LaVine contributed 10 points, one rebound and one assist in 16 minutes of action.

Nique Clifford was the substitute. He and Malik Monk would be the biggest beneficiaries for as long as LaVine is out.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
