1. He could be a false positive and be back by Sunday.
2. He could negative but a close contact and probably back by middle of next week.
3. He could have Covid (seems likely given the asymptotic comment by Benz tonight,) probably 10-11 days but could be up to 3 weeks. Just depends on how sick Ant gets and how well his body beats the virus. Need 2 negative tests to consecutively to return.

I want him and Ant to be all stars this season.

They both more than deserve it. Kat and Ant.....the true future.

Let's stop the KAT trade talk. Sheer craziness.

Shot selection is fine, shot making is horrible. They were a lot of missed open threes last night

Keep in mind the game started two hours later than normal. I think a lot of the sloppy play on both sides could be due to this.

yeah, game ended well past my bedtime.

i saw a lot of shots we take in my over 40 league- lots of drive into the defense, then either a fadeaway or step back over the arms of a defender.

as AIJ said, lots of missed threes as well.

KAT was fantastic

We have overcome one of the worst possible 3 point shooting performances to still dominate this game. We didn't back down when the Lakers made their run. We balled hard. Just got to be patient with this young squad, we are finding our way.

Wolves win. ARRRROOOOOOO!!!!!

Serious question. Do the Wolves officially not suck now.

I love all the crybabies on the general board crying about Towns taunting the Lakers
