Hyland (knee) won't return to Friday's game against the Warriors.
Hyland drew the start for the first time this season but sustained a right knee contusion in the first quarter, posting three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two assists in just under five minutes. With the VCU product joining Anthony Edwards (foot) and Mike Conley (Achilles) on the sidelines, Terrence Shannon, Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham are candidates for increased playing time. Hyland's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Kings.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Hyland is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Warriors due to a right knee contusion.
With Anthony Edwards (foot) sidelined, Hyland got the starting nod for the first time this season, though he logged just under five minutes before exiting Friday's contest. If the 25-year-old guard is unable to return, Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Starting sans Edwards
Rotowire
Hyland will start against the Warriors on Friday.
With Anthony Edwards (foot) sidelined, Hyland will get the starting nod for the first time this season. He's coming off his best performance of the season in Monday's loss to the Suns, during which he posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 16 minutes.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Edwards (foot) will not play Friday against the Warriors.
Edwards was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss his first game since Nov. 3. With Edwards out of the lineup, Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle will likely soak up more usage, while players such as Terrence Shannon, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark could see extended run.
Conley won't play Friday against the Warriors due to right Achilles tendinopathy.
This will mark Conley's first absence of the 2025-26 campaign. It's unclear as to when this issue popped up for the veteran guard, but the team will give him at least a few days off before re-evaluating him ahead of Sunday's clash with the Kings. Bones Hyland and Rob Dillingham could pick up a few extra minutes in Conley's absence.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Edwards is questionable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to right foot soreness.
This injury comes out of nowhere, but the questionable tag suggests that the superstar wing is day-to-day. In his most recent outing against the Suns on Monday, Edwards produced 40 points (15-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes. If he's unable to play, the Timberwolves will need players such as Terrence Shannon, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark to step up.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Woeful shooting display off bench
Rotowire
Reid ended with six points (2-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt), nine rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
Despite Rudy Gobert's ejection in the third quarter, Reid couldn't find his shooting touch Monday and failed to capitalize on the extra minutes. Even so, Reid has been very effective overall of late, averaging 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest over his last 13 games.

Rotowire

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Scoreless in 15 minutes
Rotowire
Conley notched zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to Phoenix.
Conley has not contributed much from a scoring perspective, averaging just 3.4 points on a meager 27.0 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from three in his last nine games. As a starter, Conley averages 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 threes made on a 47.1 percent clip, so he would only be fantasy relevant if he joins the first unit in the future.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Quiet outing in loss
Rotowire
DiVincenzo registered two points (1-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
DiVincenzo has not been efficient with the ball in his last two games, shooting a combined 3-for-13 from the field and 1-for-10 from three. In six games before this cold streak, DiVincenzo averaged 15.2 points and 4.0 threes made on a blistering 41.4 percent clip, so he will likely eventually bounce back, with his next opportunity to do so being Friday against the Warriors.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Sniffs double-double in loss
Rotowire
Randle amassed 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight assists and three rebounds over 37 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
Randle put up a season-low 11 field-goal attempts but still finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer. The star forward has been efficient of late, scoring 21 or more points in four of his last five games while shooting 50.7 percent from the field over that stretch. He also recorded a game-high eight assists and has dished out at least six in four of his last five appearances.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Posts season high in loss
Rotowire
Hyland produced 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
After logging just one minute across Minnesota's previous eight games, Hyland supplanted Rob Dillingham in the rotation Monday and made an impact. The 25-year-old guard paced the Timberwolves bench with a season-high scoring haul, and his efforts will likely be enough to keep him in the rotation for at least the team's next game Friday at Golden State.
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Pours in 40 points in loss
Rotowire
Edwards contributed 40 points (15-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
Edwards was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Monday's contest due to an illness, though he suited up and erupted for a game-high 40 points on extremely efficient shooting. The superstar guard also matched the game-best mark in rebounds, grabbing a season-high nine boards. After totaling just 26 points over his last two outings, Edwards recorded his fifth game with at least 40 points this season. He has also reached the 30-point threshold in seven of his last 10 appearances.

Rotowire
Gobert was assessed a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected in the third quarter of Monday's game against the Suns, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
The veteran center was ejected with 7:59 remaining in the third after elbowing Mark Williams in the ribs while he was airborne. Gobert will finish with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes. Naz Reid should see the majority of the center minutes the rest of the way, while Joan Beringer could enter the rotation.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Good to go vs. Suns
Rotowire
Edwards (illness) will play in Monday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Edwards drew a questionable tag due to an illness, but the superstar guard will play through the ailment Monday. As long as he's feeling well enough, Edwards should take on his normal workload. Across his last eight outings, the 24-year-old has averaged 32.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks in 38.7 minutes per game.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Will play Monday
Rotowire
Shannon (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Suns.
Shannon is under the weather but will shed his questionable tag Monday. The second-year swingman has logged single-digit minutes in three consecutive contests, though he could see a bump in minutes against Phoenix if Anthony Edwards (illness) is ultimately downgraded from questionable to out.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Shannon (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.
