Julius Randle returned to the Timberwolves’ lineup on Sunday in Phoenix after missing Minnesota’s last month of action.

Those injuries have been the latest problem for Minnesota in a disappointing follow-up to last year's trip to the Western Conference finals. The Timberwolves went 5-8 with Randle sidelined and are now 33-29 and hold the No. 8 seed in the West following Sunday's win.

Bleacher Report floated a trade swapping Randle for Portland Trail Blazers wing Jerami Grant. He would fit better on the win-now Timberwolves than on the young Trail Blazers. He’s a multipositional who has helped winning teams in the past, like the Denver Nuggets in 2020.
