Jordan McLaughlin News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Making small gains in recovery Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said Monday McLaughlin (calf) is "inching" forward in his return process, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact McLaughlin will miss his 29th straight game after being ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left calf strain. Based on Finch's comments, it doesn't appear that the 26-year-old guard will return to the lineup soon.

Not close to return Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said Monday that he doesn't expect McLaughlin (calf) to return to game action anytime soon, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact McLaughlin is missing his 20th straight game Monday against the Jazz due to a left calf strain, and based on Finch's comments, the reserve guard looks to be viewed as week-to-week rather than day-to-day at this stage. His ongoing absence should continue to keep a rotation spot open for Austin Rivers on the second unit.

Impact The reserve guard is now a month removed from suffering the injury, but the Timberwolves have yet to indicate that he's nearing a return to game action. Considering that McLaughlin hasn't been reported to have resumed practicing, he'll likely miss several more games before potentially suiting up for the Timberwolves sometime in the latter half of January. His ongoing absence will afford more opportunities on the second unit for Jaylen Nowell and Austin Rivers.

McLaughlin didn't appear to be on any sort of minute restriction against the Thunder and should be one of the first guards off the bench behind D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards moving forward.
