Rotowire
Minott delivered 23 points (9-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three blocks across 32 minutes in Tuesday's 138-111 preseason win over Maccabi.

However, Minott has a tough road ahead of him to make the Opening Night roster, and it's not out of the question to imagine him opening the regular season in the G League instead.
