Terrence Shannon Jr. is about to return to the Timberwolves and team up with another Illini.

A foot injury has sidelined TSJ since Christmas, but he finally returned this week for the Iowa Wolves in the G League to ramp back up before rejoining the T-Wolves in the NBA.

In his first game on Tuesday, he scored 11 points.

On Wednesday, he lit it up, going for 36 points on 10-of-15 shooting in just 21 minutes.

Terrence Shannon Jr was sent down to Iowa for a rehab game last night where he scored 36 points in 21 minutes, on 10/15 shooting.

The Timberwolves recalled him this morning lol. pic.twitter.com/PryaiH6XO4

Obviously the Illini legend is way too good for the G League, and he’ll get his chance to team up with Ayo Dosunmu for the first time after the All-Star Break next week.
