MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- After missing more than six weeks following a knee surgery, D'Angelo Russell will return to the court for the Minnesota Timberwolves Monday night, the team announced.
Russell last played Feb. 8 against against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed three games after that before the Wolves announced his surgery would keep him out four to six more weeks.

Beasley is averaging 19.6 points a game this season.
