Garnett (knee) will not play Friday against the Jazz.

Analysis:

Garnett will miss his third game in a row for Minnesota due to a sore right knee. The Timberwolves are considering the power forward day-to-day, so the next chance he has to see the floor could be Sunday against the Trail Blazers. In Garnett's absence, expect Gorgui Dieng, Nemanja Bjelica, and Nikola Pekovic to see increased minutes.
