Jay Knodell: Wesley Matthews Games Played

“I’d say the biggest surprise for me was that Wesley Matthews played in 78 games. Sure, he wasn’t as reliable as he’s been in the past from outside, but the fact that he suited up for all but four games is remarkable considering the injury from which he was recovering. Not only that, he led the team in minutes. They don’t call him “Ironman” for nothing.” -Knodell
