Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert (back) removed from injury report
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 12:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Rudy Gobert (back) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Gobert is back after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Spurs. His return means Joan Beringer will head back to the bench after starting on Saturday.
Jonathan Kuminga
Jonathan Kuminga scores 19 points vs. Spurs
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 4:43 PM
Jonathan Kuminga accounted for 19 points (8-of-19 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: After attempting just six shots in Friday's win over the Clippers, Kuminga got up 19 on Saturday. His percentage wasn't great, but the shot volume should be there while the Timberwolves await Anthony Edwards' return from knee surgery. The same goes for Jaden McDaniels, who finished Saturday's defeat with 19 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
Ayo Dosunmu
Ayo Dosunmu scores team-high 27 points vs. Spurs
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 4:42 PM
Ayo Dosunmu recorded 27 points (11-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Since moving into the Timberwolves' starting lineup after Anthony Edwards' knee injury, Dosunmu's scoring output has increased with each game. His 27 points on Saturday were a season high, and he was highly efficient. Add in the rebounds and steals, and this was a good night for managers rostering Dosunmu. The Timberwolves play four games next week, starting with the Bucks on Monday.
Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert (back) downgraded to out Saturday
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 12:17 PM
NBA Injury Report
Rudy Gobert (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Gobert will not play due to lower back spasms. His absence opens the door for Joan Beringer to start, and the second-year center is worth streaming.
Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert (back) questionable Saturday vs. Spurs
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 8:15 AM
Rudy Gobert (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Gobert is questionable with low back spasms. Joan Beringer had 12 points, seven rebounds and two blocks against the Cavaliers earlier this week and would likely start if Gobert is ruled out.
Bones Hyland
Bones Hyland chips in with 19 off the bench
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:14 PM
Bones Hyland recorded 19 points (8-of-16 FGs), eight assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Six Timberwolves finished Friday's rout in double figures, with Hyland putting up a season-high point total. Over the last two games, which Minnesota has played without Anthony Edwards (knee), Bones has scored 32 points, shooting12-of-23 from the field. Ayo Dosunmu (15 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers) is the safer streaming option with Edwards out, as he's now starting. But managers should keep an eye on Hyland if they missed out on Dosunmu.
Jaden McDaniels
Jaden McDaniels drops an efficient 23 points
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:11 PM
Jaden McDaniels amassed 23 points (11-of-15 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: In the two games Minnesota has played since losing Anthony Edwards (knee), McDaniels has shot 19-of-33 from the field. The Timberwolves will be without their star for a while, so they'll need more production from McDaniels. For some players, the opportunity could negatively impact their efficiency, but that wasn't the case for McDaniels against the Clippers.
LaMelo Ball
LaMelo Ball scores team-high 24 points vs. LAC
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:08 PM
LaMelo Ball finished Friday's win over the Clippers with 24 points (9-of-20 FGs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and six three-pointers.
Analysis: After attempting 11 shots and scoring eight points in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors, the first game Minnesota played after losing Anthony Edwards to knee surgery, Ball wasn't shy about getting up shots on Friday. He shot 6-of-15 from beyond the arc and led the Timberwolves in scoring while also recording seven assists. Just as encouraging was his committing two turnovers after racking up six on Wednesday. Ball and the Timberwolves play one more game this week, as they visit the Spurs on Saturday.
Jaden McDaniels
Jaden McDaniels with 19/8 without Anthony Edwards
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 5:18 PM
Jaden McDaniels with 19 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, and a three in 35 minutes against the Warriors.
Analysis: There has been hope that McDaniels can grow his offensive game and he will have an opportunity to do so with Anthony Edwards out for at least two months. If he hit a couple more threes instead of going 1/8 from 3, this stat line would've looked even better than it already does. These next two months will be critical for Jaden's development.
Ayo Dosunmu
Dosunmu with 17 and 4 steals in start vs Warriors
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 5:13 PM
Ayo Dosunmu had 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, four steals, and three 3-pointers in start for Anthony Edwards.
Analysis: Ayo has shown that he can start and produce good numbers for when Anthony Edwards misses time. While he doesn't have the best fantasy game, he can still be useful with some good scoring and some occasional outbursts with rebounds, assists, and steals. With Edwards missing two months, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add Ayo in redraft leagues.
LaMelo Ball
LaMelo Ball with 8/4/8 in loss against Warriors
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 5:09 PM
LaMelo Ball with 8 points (3-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists, a steal, two 3-pointers, and six turnovers in 119-114 loss to Warriors.
Analysis: This was not a good LaMelo Ball performance and he will occasionally have these types of performances. He's still getting used to a different system and he just missed his shots tonight. He will have another opportunity to bounce back in his next game against the Clippers on Friday.
Jonathan Kuminga
Kuminga with 20 and 5 assists against Warriors
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 5:02 PM
Jonathan Kuminga puts up 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in loss to Warriors.
Analysis: Ayo Dosunmu is not getting all of Ant's usage. Kuminga will get a bump which will likely lead to more performances like this one. Kuminga signed with the Wolves to show more of what he can do, and he had an opportunity tonight. You don't expect the assists with Kuminga, but it was a nice boost tonight. He is someone to keep an eye on and might be worth a grab depending on your league.
Ayo Dosunmu
Ayo Dosunmu will start in place of Anthony Edwards
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 12:49 PM
Ayo Dosunmu will be the starter in place of Anthony Edwards.
Analysis: This was the expected outcome given that he's the backup two guard. Ayo recently signed a 5 year/112M dollar contract this off-season to return to the Timberwolves after his performance in the playoffs. In fantasy leagues, Dosunmu isn't the most category friendly player, but he's a player that can get you some points, some 3's and some decent rebounds and assists. If he isn't grabbed in your leagues, he's worth a look.
Enrique Freeman
Wolves sign Enrique Freeman to two-way contract
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:33 AM
Timberwolves PR
Timberwolves signed Enrique Freeman to a two-way contract.
Analysis: Freeman was with the team previously, so the familiarity was likely a factor in making this deal happen. Freeman will be a depth option at the forward spot, but on a two-way deal, he likely won't appear in enough games to be much of a factor.
Anthony Edwards
Report: Edwards (knee) looking at longer timeline
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 4:37 PM
Jon Krawczynski
The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski reports that Anthony Edwards (knee) could be sidelined longer than the initially reported two months.
Analysis: Edwards is scheduled to undergo right knee surgery on Thursday, and more should be known about his recovery timeline following the procedure. With it now reported that he could be sidelined for more than the two-month maximum that was initially reported, players like Jonathan Kuminga, Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. become even more valuable in fantasy basketball. While Kuminga is already starting, either Dosunmu or Shannon will be tabbed to fill the void left by Edwards.
Anthony Edwards
Shams: Anthony Edwards (knee) to undergo surgery
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 12:55 PM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Anthony Edwards (knee) will undergo arthroscopic surgery and will miss up to two months.
Analysis: So much for Edwards being listed as questionable on the Timberwolves' initial injury report for Wednesday's game against the Warriors. He'll reportedly need to undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee and could miss up to two months. While the timeline isn't guaranteed, fantasy managers can stash Edwards on the IL until he's cleared to return. As alternatives, Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. should see more opportunities, and starters Jaden McDaniels and Jonathan Kuminga should too.
Anthony Edwards
Anthony Edwards (knee) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 12:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Despite dealing with a sore right knee, Edwards played 41 minutes in Monday's overtime loss to the Cavaliers. Minnesota has another back-to-back on Friday/Saturday, so Edwards may get a day off at some point. If so, Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. would take on larger roles.
Anthony Edwards
Anthony Edwards goes off for game-high 47 points
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 4:26 PM
Anthony Edwards accounted for 47 points (19-of-34 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and five three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Monday's game due to right knee injury management, Edwards played 41 of a possible 53 minutes in the overtime defeat. He was lethal inside the arc, shooting 14-of-19 from two. Edwards hit just 5-of-15 from three, but his mid-range and paint scoring boosted his overall field-goal percentage. The Timberwolves star now has two of the NBA's top four scoring nights this season, with Luka Don?i?'s 52-point effort against the Jazz at the top.
Jaden McDaniels
Jaden McDaniels scores 14 points, fouls out
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 4:22 PM
Jaden McDaniels finished Monday's loss to the Cavaliers with 14 points (6-of-9 FGs), six rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: While McDaniels had a good offensive night, he recorded no defensive stats and fouled out with 1:12 left in overtime. Given how well he played in Minnesota's first three games, fantasy managers currently rostering McDaniels have nothing to worry about. He'll look to be more productive when the Timberwolves host the Warriors on Wednesday.
Anthony Edwards
Anthony Edwards (knee) available vs. Cleveland
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 11:45 AM
Timberwolves PR
Anthony Edwards (knee) is available to play against the Cavaliers on Monday.
Analysis: Edwards was initially listed as questionable for the second leg of this back-to-back. While this is a trend that could continue throughout the season and should be monitored, Edwards will be good to go as the Timberwolves put their 3-0 record to the test against Cleveland.
