MINNEAPOLIS — The short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves had their rotation thinned further when guard Jaylen Clark left their game in the third quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder because of neck pain. Clark hit his head on the floor after an off-balance layup attempt and an awkward fall. He got his second career start on Sunday night in a small-ball lineup for the Wolves. The 6-foot-4 Clark had 14 points in 18 minutes. Coach Chris Finch had no update on his condition after Minnesota's 130-123 loss.
