Wolves in front Andrew Wiggins missed his second straight game with a quad contusion while guard Jimmy Butler left the illness to start against Milwaukee on Friday night at the Target Center.

Butler was added to the team's injury report about an hour after the end of the morning shootout. It was only 45 minutes before the start of the match that the team announced that Butler would play and start.

Butler started his fifth game. He missed his team's game in Dallas on October 20th, relying on the second consecutive game.

Business discussions continue to swirl around Butler, who wants to go elsewhere and has been reassured by the team owner Glen Taylor the team will accept the request. ESPN announced Thursday that Houston has made an offer including four first-round picks, alternatively, starting in 2019, an offer offering more future assets than immediate returns. Some think that Thibodeau would be reluctant to reach an agreement that would not offer more in advance. But, questioned about it after the shooting Friday, Thibodeau answered that it was not necessarily the case.

"No, you just have to do what's right," he said. "For me, if something is a good deal and you think you're getting value for money, you have to do what's right for the franchise."

Wiggins close

Wiggins, who was injured early in the Wolves' win against Indiana at Target Center on Monday, appears to be about to return. He was ruled out of Friday's match only after trying to warm up.

He was not able to play Wednesday in Toronto – his hometown – which earned him a series of 243 consecutive games.

Wiggins said that he was thinking about the end of his series.

"It's been a long time since I play consecutive games," he said. "It was something you could be proud of, fighting against all the wounds you had. Especially in Toronto, going there once a year, it stinks. But injuries are part of the game. Nobody is perfect. "

Since? Constant improvement to the point where he was about to play on Friday. He is likely to play Monday against the Lakers.

"I can play against pain," he said. "It's just trying to get my leg at full strength."

One night

Because the Wolves only play one home game against Eastern Conference teams a year, Friday was the only appearance at the Target Center for the Milwaukee star. Giannis AntetokounmpoMVP favorite at the start of the season.

Antetokounmpo arrived at Target Center after a triple-double victory in Milwaukee against Philadelphia on Wednesday.

In his sixth season, he had his best start, averaging 28.5 points, 16.5 rebounds and 6.8 assists in four games. He is the first player since Wilt Chamberlain in 1965, score at least 25 points and get 15 rebounds or more in the first four games of the season. He finished with 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists on Friday.

Capable of playing pretty much any position on the field, Antetokounmpo has always been fatal at the break, but his game has improved every year since he was a 19-year-old rookie.

"You look back and time flies," said Thibodeau. "I remember his rookie year, where he is now. The physical change in his body is significant. He is really strong. And he's explosive, an exceptional athlete. But I think the experience that he has acquired each season has also helped. He worked hard on his shot, so it improved too. But if he has a seam, the amount of land he can cover in a few steps is a great strength for him. "
