Scoreless in starting role
Batum posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's 94-88 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Although Batum logged six rebounds, he was a non-existent element on offense during the loss. Batum logged only one shot attempt, an effort that is unacceptable for a squad struggling to stay in playoff contention. John Collins' (head) impending return should right the ship, and his re-insertion would move Batum back to the bench.
