Dane Moore: The Wolves have sent Luka Garza, Josh Minott and AJ Lawson back to Iowa. But somewhat notably, Wendell Moore Jr. stays up with the NBA club — as guard/wing depth, with Jordan McLaughlin and Taurean Prince set to miss tonight’s game, and Kyle Anderson listed as questionable.

Taurean Prince won’t face charges over drug arrest
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince is breathing easier heading into the holiday season … TMZ Sports has learned he will not face charges stemming from his drug arrest. According to court documents, a grand jury declined to charge him with possession of a controlled substance last week. Days later, prosecutors dismissed the gun charges he was facing related to the case as well.
Prince was initially pulled over by the Arlington Police Dept. in Texas back on May 19 … after officers said he was driving with an expired registration. During the stop, cops say the basketball player told them he had two handguns in the car … so officers asked him to get out of the vehicle. During an effort to retrieve the guns from the car, cops say they found a vape pen … and searched his ride further. They say they then found a canister with marijuana inside.
Dane Moore: Jaylen Nowell referred to Taurean Prince today as the Wolves’ “leader of the film room”. “He’s just calling everybody out. Like, whoever it is, whether it’s the No. 1 guy or the No. 15 guy, he’s calling everybody out, and that’s where you get the respect from everybody.”
On Friday, Prince made his first appearance in Miami-Dade court and was granted a $2,500 bond. His defense lawyer, David Weinstein, said the charge was already being dismissed in Tarrant County, Texas, and stemmed from a trace amount of marijuana found during a traffic stop. Prince was unaware that police had filed the warrant for the low-level felony, Weinsten said. “If he had known warrant existed, he would have surrendered,” Weinstein told Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer.
