Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Nets 14 points in crucial win
McDaniels notched 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds in 41 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
McDaniels' production has suffered since Anthony Edwards' return to action, and a below-average shooting night kept him in check during Game 4. Despite the downtick, McDaniels has demonstrated a solid floor throughout the postseason, averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 10 playoff contests.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Needs 22 shots to score 17 points
McDaniels contributed 17 points (5-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to San Antonio in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
McDaniels couldn't get his shot to drop, opening the game with five straight bricks, and he was just missing a lot of shots he traditionally makes. Ayo Dosunmu also had a tough offensive outing, finishing with 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and four turnovers in 32 minutes off the bench.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Strong postseason continues
McDaniels recorded 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 104-102 win over San Antonio in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
McDaniels continues to deliver offensively for the Timberwolves this postseason, putting up at least 12 points in seven games thus far on top of his excellent defense. Overall, the forward has averaged 17.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 36.0 minutes per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor during the 2026 playoffs.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Takes command in Game 6
McDaniels supplied 32 points (13-25 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 45 minutes during Thursday's 110-98 victory over Denver in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
McDaniels stepped up in a big way to help the Timberwolves close out the series. He shot the basketball with confidence, especially down the stretch, as he drilled several key field goals in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter to secure the victory. McDaniels also recorded his second double-double of the series by grabbing double-digit boards. He'll continue to be a key piece of the puzzle in the next round against San Antonio, even if Anthony Edwards (knee) is cleared to return.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Gets under Jokic's skin
McDaniels logged 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 33 minutes during Saturday's 112-96 victory over Denver in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
McDaniels didn't have the most productive box score during Saturday's win, but he certainly made his presence felt with his layup in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter, drawing the ire of Nikola Jokic that resulted in a scuffle between both teams. It's unclear whether there will be any disciplinary action for Game 5 on Monday for the parties involved, but the Timberwolves can't afford to lose any more players for the rest of the playoffs, as they'll be without Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) until next season at minimum and Anthony Edwards (knee) for the remainder of the series and beyond. McDaniels has averaged 15.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 36.0 minutes per game through the first four games of the series.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Double-doubles in win
McDaniels supplied 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 win over the Nuggets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
McDaniels recorded his first double-double of the season, and it couldn't come at a better time for Minnesota, which now leads the series 2-1. With two consecutive victories, the Timberwolves will look to extend the series lead, with McDaniels' productivity likely to play a key role once again.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Scores 16 points with eight boards
McDaniels had 16 points (6-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 loss to the Nuggets in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
McDaniels was Minnesota's leading scorer through the first three quarters of play, but the Nuggets completely shut him down in crunch time, holding the sixth-year forward to zero points with just one shot attempt in the final frame. He missed all four of his three-point attempts and finished with a team-worst minus-17 differential in the loss.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Omitted from injury report
McDaniels (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets.
McDaniels sat out Minnesota's regular-season finale due to left knee injury maintenance, though he's good to go for the start of the playoffs. Over his final 10 regular-season appearances, the 25-year-old forward averaged 15.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks across 30.4 minutes per game.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Out for Sunday
McDaniels won't play Sunday against the Pelicans due to left knee injury maintenance.
McDaniels scored 18 and 16 points in the games against the Magic and Rockets on Wednesday and Friday, respectively, but the veteran forward won't suit up for the regular-season finale. The Timberwolves will rest several of their regular rotation members, including McDaniels. The veteran forward should be ready for the start of the playoffs April 18.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Scores 18 points in return
McDaniels (knee) ended Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Magic with 18 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes.
McDaniels returned to the hardwood following a six-game absence due to left knee tendinopathy and a bone bruise, but the Timberwolves kept his minutes in check. With a playoff berth locked up, Minnesota's goal is to have McDaniels as healthy as possible for their upcoming postseason run. The Timberwolves could have McDaniels slightly ramp up his minutes in their final two games of the regular season.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Available Wednesday
McDaniels (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
McDaniels will shed his questionable tag and return from a six-game absence due to a left knee issue. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 25-year-old forward operate on a minutes restriction during his return.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Questionable for Wednesday
McDaniels (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
McDaniels, who has missed the past six games for Minnesota, has been cleared for full contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities. He has a chance to return Wednesday, but he will likely face restrictions if he's given the green light to suit up.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Won't play Tuesday
McDaniels (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana.
McDaniels will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise. He was deemed week-to-week in late March and should be considered doubtful for future contests until Minnesota offers an update on his progress. Ayo Dosunmu is expected to continue operating in an expanded role for as long as McDaniels is sidelined.
