Jordan McLaughlin nearing his return to Timberwolves’ lineup, and confident he can hit the ground running

Jordan McLaughlin could return to action as early as Friday in Memphis after the Timberwolves’ reserve point guard was sidelined for the past month with a knee injury.His return is as well-timed as his departure was ill.McLaughlin suffered the injury in a race for a loose ball in Minnesota’s win over Boston in early November. It was unfortunate in that while McLaughlin’s minutes were minimal at the season’s outset, his impact when he entered games was large.In that way, McLaughlin looked like the spark plug point guard of old.“It was unfortunate and bad timing when it had happened,” he said, “but just trying to keep the right mindset, but continuing to put in my work and trust myself, and I think I’ll be good.”Part of the reason McLaughlin’s minutes were sparse to start the season was because of the way in which the guard played at the end of last season. Upon returning from his calf injury last spring, McLaughlin was never remotely close to the same player as he was pre-injur...

Gov. Jared Polis unveiled his vision for housing and public transit for the final three years of his term Thursday, a roadmap focused on the governor’s plan to tackle the interlocking crises of affordability and climate change through land-use reform and improved planning.The “Roadmap to Colorado’s Future 2026” lays out six broad objectives, largely targeted at increasing housing supply and affordability while seeking to dovetail those efforts with improved access to transit and the state’s climate goals.The 34-page document further cements Polis’ broader desire to reform land use and zoning across Colorado, along with calls for more strategic growth to maximize resources, prepare for wildfires and protect the state’s outdoor areas.Zoning reform and more coordinated strategic planning are policy solutions that the governor and other Democrats see as a panacea to several of the state’s current and future ills.
