Prince failed to score Monday as he moved to a bench role against the 76ers.

Analysis:

This was the first game this season that Prince didn't start for Minnesota, but even with a starting spot, his offensive production was nonexistent. He's only averaging 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds per game through the first 14 contests, and it was a matter of time before the veteran was sent to the bench on this young and talented team.
