Lazar Hayward News: Hayward did not practice Wednesday due to an illness, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Hayward did not practice Wednesday due to an illness, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

In eight games with the Timberwolves, Hayward has made four appearances, averaging 2.5 points (on 20 percent shooting), one rebound, and 0.8 assists in 7.8 minutes. Even if he is sidelined Thursday against the Clippers, his 10-day contract expires Friday, so it is unclear if he has done enough to warrant a second short-term deal.
