As the NBA season unfolds, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch faces a dilemma regarding the utilization of his young players. Despite a strong roster, Finch has stuck to a nine-man rotation, limiting opportunities for emerging talents like Luka Garza and Josh Minott.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid is also navigating load management, having missed games early in the season due to knee management. This highlights a growing trend in the league where star players are strategically rested to maintain performance.
