Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards has 20 points with 3 assists against Pistons
Wed, Oct 14, 2026, 5:02 PM
Anthony Edwards puts up 20 points (5-of-15 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), three assists, two steals, and one 3-Pointer on Wednesday.
Analysis: It wasn't the best game for Anthony Edwards, but he got to the line really well. The Timberwolves struggled in a 22 point loss to the Pistons. Edwards should bounce back and still be a target in the first round of redraft leagues. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards scores game-high 26 points
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 4:13 PM
Anthony Edwards recorded 26 points (8-of-16 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Monday's exhibition against the Knicks.
Analysis: The partnership between Edwards and LaMelo Ball (10 points, three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one three-pointer) has looked good in the preseason. The Timberwolves clearly prioritized getting a playmaker to share the court with Ant-Man, and Ball fits the mold. There will likely be some growing pains once the results count, but this should be another big year for Edwards. He has a first-round ADP in 12-team leagues, and that's fair. |
Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels drops 22 points vs. New York
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 4:12 PM
Jaden McDaniels tallied 22 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Monday's exhibition against the Knicks.
Analysis: With Julius Randle and Naz Reid out of the picture in Minnesota, McDaniels should have more room to operate as a scorer. He was very effective against the Knicks, shooting nearly 67 percent from the field overall and going 4-of-5 from deep. With an ADP in the nineties, McDaniels could be a steal in fantasy basketball this season. |
Terrence Shannon Jr. starts, scores 19 points
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 4:37 PM
Terrence Shannon Jr. recorded 19 points (8-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Saturday's exhibition against the Heat.
Analysis: Shannon started Saturday's exhibition and played well, making half his shots and dishing out four assists. The third-year wing, who committed just one turnover, had his moments during the postseason last spring as the Timberwolves had to navigate multiple injuries. Shannon isn't a must-draft player in 12-team redraft leagues, but the upside makes him worth considering in the final rounds. |
Bones Hyland Bones Hyland hits five triples, scores 23 points
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 4:37 PM
Bones Hyland finished Saturday's exhibition against the Heat with 23 points (6-of-9 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, three steals and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Neither team played most of their key veterans, so guys like Hyland had more opportunities to impress. He took advantage, shooting 5-of-6 from beyond the arc and committing no turnovers. Hyland still isn't at the point where fantasy managers can rely on him for consistent value. However, with Mike Conley in Boston and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) set to miss most of the regular season, Hyland will have more opportunities to contribute. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards drops 19 points in preseason loss
Wed, Oct 7, 2026, 3:43 PM
Anthony Edwards amassed a team-high 19 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), one rebound and one assist over 19 minutes in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Pacers.
Analysis: After going 1-for-7 from long range in his preseason debut against the Bucks earlier this week, Edwards rebounded to knock down 4-of-5 from three-point range, while also getting to the charity stripe for six free throw attempts as he put on a show with 19 first-half points. One of the most electrifying talents in the entire league, Edwards remains the straw that stirs the drink in Minnesota, even as things are going to look a bit different with sharpshooting playmaker LaMelo Ball taking over at point guard. He'll be a first-round pick in all fantasy drafts this fall. |
LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball amasses 14/4/7 line in 20 minutes
Wed, Oct 7, 2026, 3:41 PM
LaMelo Ball contributed 14 points (5-of-9 FGs), four rebounds and seven assists over 20 minutes in Wednesday's preseason loss to the Pacers.
Analysis: Ball has scored in double figures in back-to-back exhibition contests despite limited minutes as Minnesota continues to ramp-up in advance of their season opener. The polarizing 25-year-old playmaker was able to connect with new running mate Anthony Edwards on a couple occasions, including a nifty drive to the basket that resulted in a kickout three-pointer. He's one of the more unique all-around contributors in the fantasy landscape and there are probably going to be nights where the Timberwolves look unstoppable on the offensive end of the floor. He's a borderline second-round pick in most fantasy drafts this fall. |
Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga starts, scores eight points
Mon, Oct 5, 2026, 4:49 PM
Jonathan Kuminga amassed eight points (2-of-4 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) and two rebounds in Monday's exhibition against the Bucks.
Analysis: Signed to a two-year deal in late August, Kuminga was the Timberwolves' fifth starter on Monday. While he didn't have a prolific outing in his unofficial debut, the opportunity to start gives JK a clearer path to fantasy relevance. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Ayo Dosunmu (five points, three rebounds and one three-pointer) offers a higher fantasy floor than Kuminga, especially in category leagues. However, JK is worth watching if he remains in the starting lineup. |

LaMelo Ball LaMelo Ball logs 17 minutes in preseason opener
Mon, Oct 5, 2026, 4:44 PM
LaMelo Ball tallied 11 points (3-of-6 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday's exhibition against the Bucks.
Analysis: Making his unofficial Timberwolves debut, Ball played 17 minutes in the first half in Milwaukee. While you can't take too much from one game, he played efficiently and committed just one turnover. Combining Ball with Anthony Edwards (14 points, four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one three-pointer) gives Minnesota a backcourt that's far more dangerous off the dribble than last year's group. And an efficient Ball can be one of the most effective point guards in fantasy basketball, regardless of league format. |
Donte DiVincenzo DiVincenzo (Achilles) expects to play this season
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 9:46 AM
The Athletic
Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) said that he expects to play at some point this season.
Analysis: DiVincenzo suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon during the first round of last season's playoffs. Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd refused to provide a concrete timeline when asked about the guard's recovery in early September. Still, DiVincenzo made it clear on Monday that he expects to play at some point this season. While we certainly hope that's the case, fantasy managers have no reason to stash him in an IL slot. Just be alert for the day when DiVincenzo is cleared to resume on-court activities. In the meantime, his absence boosts Ayo Dosunmu's fantasy value, as he should be the first guard off the bench. |

Donte DiVincenzo GM: DiVincenzo (Achilles) lacks return timeline
Fri, Sep 4, 2026, 2:13 AM
KSTP Minneapolis
Timberwolves GM Matt Lloyd refused to give a return timeline for injured guard Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles).
Analysis: DiVincenzo suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon during the Timberwolves' first-round series against the Nuggets. While there were some external questions about whether the team would entertain trading him in order to upgrade the roster this offseason, it was reported that the Timberwolves would not move DiVincenzo. According to Lloyd, the guard has been a fixture at the team facility as he attacks his rehab. While the Timberwolves' general manager refused to provide a concrete return timeline for DiVincenzo, he did express optimism that the guard would be able to play at some point next season. Fantasy managers can afford to leave him on the waiver wire in drafts due to the uncertainty. |
John Konchar Timberwolves expected to waive John Konchar
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 2:29 AM
Shams Charania
The Timberwolves are expected to waive and stretch the contract of recently acquired John Konchar.
Analysis: Sent to Minnesota along with Cody Williams in exchange for Josh Green, Konchar will not play a game for the Timberwolves. Limited to 26 games last season due to injuries, Konchar averaged 5.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.2 minutes. Depending on whether he can sign with another NBA team, Konchar can provide value at various points in a season in category leagues. However, that isn't enough to make him a player worth drafting in most leagues. |

Jonathan Kuminga Jonathan Kuminga inks 2-year deal with Wolves
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 12:54 PM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Jonathan Kuminga has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Kuminga's free agency saga is over as he joins a contender where he'll likely have a starting role. Kuminga's deal has a player option in Year 2, giving him the chance to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027. |

Anthony Edwards Finch: Anthony Edwards to play more SG next season
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 4:17 AM
Road Trippin' Show
Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said during an appearance on the âRoad Trippin' Showâ that Anthony Edwards will spend more time off the ball next season.
Analysis: Edwards put together another excellent season in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 28.8 points per game while also putting up 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.7 blocks and 3.4 three-pointers. However, Finch believes that the Timberwolves may have done their star guard a âdisserviceâ by playing him on the ball so much. With Mike Conley's limited production and fellow starter Donte DiVincenzo not being a point guard, the circumstances put Minnesota in a position where the ball needed to be in Edwards' hands more. However, that approach eventually caught up to them, as San Antonio was able to overload its defense in a second-round series that ended in six games. With LaMelo Ball now in the fold, Edwards is going to spend most of his time playing off the ball, which should allow him more opportunities to play downhill. |
Xavier Cooks Isaiah Evans continues to struggle in defeat
Mon, Jul 13, 2026, 7:47 PM
Isaiah Evans accounted for two points (0-of-8 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), one rebound and one steal in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: After shooting 2-of-15 from the field in his summer league debut, Evans had an even tougher night on Monday. The rookie wing missed all eight of his shots from the field, only scoring multiple points due to a made free throw on a two-shot foul (which counts for two points in summer league). Most important for Evans and the Timberwolves is that the slump doesn't undermine his aggressiveness on offense; he can't stop shooting, but he also has to avoid pressing too much. It hasn't looked good for Evans so far, but âit's only summer league.â |

Xavier Cooks Isaiah Evans struggles in summer league debut
Sat, Jul 11, 2026, 3:58 PM
Isaiah Evans tallied four points (2-of-15 FGs), five rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: The 33rd overall pick in last month's draft, Evans' summer league debut was not one for the archives. The former Duke wing missed all nine of his three-point attempts and spent most of his time lingering on the perimeter. One game does not make an entire career; Evans boasts plenty of potential to be a valuable 3-and-D wing. However, Saturday's performance was a reminder that he'll need some time to reach that potential. |
Zyon Pullin Zyon Pullin records another 24-point stat line
Sat, Jul 11, 2026, 3:55 PM
Zyon Pullin recorded 24 points (8-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: For the second consecutive game, Pullin provided efficient offensive production from the point guard position. This offseason is key for the 6-foot-4 guard, who is looking to lock down a concrete role for himself in Minnesota. Given the Timberwolves' depth at point guard, that may be challenging. However, Pullin can certainly make the decision a difficult one for head coach Chris Finch and the rest of the coaching staff. Playing as well as Pullin has in Las Vegas certainly helps his case. |

Zyon Pullin Zyon Pullin pours in 24/8/12/1/2 line vs. Pelicans
Thu, Jul 9, 2026, 12:23 PM
Zyon Pullin stuffed the stat sheet on Thursday with 24 points (6-of-14 FGs), eight rebounds, 12 assists, one steal and two blocks in a 105-92 win over the Pelicans.
Analysis: Pullin is still on a two-way deal with Minnesota, but this was an impressive showing for the 25-year-old. He's only appeared in eight NBA games, and he'll likely spend most of next season in the G League, but there is clearly some talent here. If he continues to develop, he could become a rotation player in the near future. |

Xavier Cooks Trey Kaufman-Renn makes summer league debut
Thu, Jul 9, 2026, 12:19 PM
Trey Kaufman-Renn finished with two points (1-of-3 FGs), five rebounds and one steal against the Pelicans on Thursday.
Analysis: Kaufman-Renn played 16 minutes in his first summer league game, which didn't give him much time to contribute in the box score. The 59th pick in the draft last month should see his minutes increase as summer league continues. |
Trey Lyles Trey Lyles returns to NBA, signs with Timberwolves
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 9:06 AM
Jon Krawczynski
Trey Lyles has agreed to a one-year deal with the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Lyles signed with Real Madrid last September after a decade in the NBA, with the last four seasons in Sacramento. The veteran big will provide some depth at the power forward and center positions, and he's a capable floor spacer, which may help make up for Naz Reid's departure. However, it is unlikely he is anywhere near as productive as Reid was. |
