Timberwolves forward Julius Randle will be sidelined at least two more weeks because of a right adductor strain.

Forward Julius Randle will miss at least two more weeks with a groin injury, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced Wednesday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are losers of two-straight since Julius Randle's groin injury. Wednesday, they received more bad news.

That was a not-so-subtle tribute to star guard De'Aaron Fox, whom they traded to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. Despite not having Fox's offensive skillset, the Kings found plenty of offense early on and got timely buckets from DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk late in a 116-114 Minnesota Timberwolves loss Monday night at Target Center in Minneapolis.

DeMar DeRozan scored 33 points on 14-for-25 shooting, and the Sacramento Kings held on for a 116-114 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night in Minneapolis.

The sight of DeMar DeRozan and Malik Monk throwing daggers at the Timberwolves has become familiar. DeRozan has averaged more points against the Wolves than any other team in his career, while Monk’s shotmaking has keyed multiple Kings wins in Target Center over the past three seasons.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will host the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday for a West vs. East clash in the NBA. Minnesota is 27-23 on the season and currently sits seventh in the West standings, while Chicago is 22-29 and is 10th in the East.

It’s Wednesday, February 5, and the Chicago Bulls (22-29) and Minnesota Timberwolves (27-23) are all set to square off from Target Center in Minneapolis. This is Chicago’s third game in four nights. Last night they defeated the Miami Heat 133-124.

The Chicago Bulls are starting to sell off players in hopes of landing some draft picks and acquiring a high pick in this year’s draft. Their matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves could be intriguing by the time it tips on Wednesday night,
