Some notes about the roster:
No. 53 overall pick Jaylen Clark will not play, as he tore his achilles in March. President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly said on draft night the team is “going to be very patient with him” in what Connelly labeled as a 9-to-12 month injury recovery.
Theo John is a Minneapolis-area native who starred at Champlin Park before matriculating on to Marquette and later Duke.
Spagnolo, the No. 50 overall pick last year, is uncertain for Summer League. “He’s dealing with a little health issue so Summer League is up in the air. But we’ve been really happy with his progress. We’re going to continue to challenge him and monitor him. He’s so young, it’s amazing,” Connelly said last week. “He’s [in market] now and hope we get him healthy and we’ll see him at Summer League.”
