The border battle showdown between the Timberwolves and Bucks will not include Monte Morris on Thursday night.
Morris, traded from Detroit to Minnesota on Wednesday, will not be in Milwaukee with the team. Instead, he'll be in Minneapolis to undergo a required physical before he can make his debut with the Timberwolves, according to Jon Krawczynski.
No. Had to go to Minneapolis for a physical so he will not be in uniform tonight https://t.co/BkneCEyCZP

That means Minnesota will be a little light on the roster since they had to give up Shake Milton and Troy Brown Jr. to get Morris, though because Milton and Brown weren't in the rotation most nights the Wolves shouldn't have any legitimate depth issues.
Assuming all goes well with the physical, Morris will presumably debut with the Wolves against the Clippers in Los Angeles on Monday night.
