Justin Patton suffered another setback this week.
The Minnesota Timberwolves center suffered a break in his right foot, a source told the Pioneer Press. Patton, the Timberwolves’ first-round pick in 2017, spent much of last season in Iowa with the G-League Wolves working his way back from the broken fifth metatarsal in his left foot suffered last summer.
Patton had another surgery on that left foot in April that was designed to “encourage further healing of a prior metatarsal fracture.”
Patton appeared in just one game for the Timberwolves last season. He played 38 games in Iowa, averaging 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds.
