Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Back to bench for Game 1
Rotowire
Clark is not in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Saturday in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Clark started in the Timberwolves' regular-season finale against the Pelicans this past Sunday, when he played 30 minutes and finished with eight points, three rebounds, two assists and one block in a 132-126 win. He'll revert to a bench role for Saturday's contest, and while he averaged 13.1 minutes per game in the regular season, his playing time will likely dip in the playoffs due to a tightened rotation.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Clark will start Sunday against the Pelicans.
This will be Clark's first start of the season and he'll be joined in the first unit by Donte DiVincenzo, Terrence Shannon, Joe Ingles and Joan Beringer. Clark owns per-36 averages of 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 triples and 2.0 steals this season.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Sees 11 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Clark logged nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 11 minutes during Sunday's 122-108 loss to the Hornets.
Clark played a very modest role off the bench due to Anthony Edwards (knee) getting the night off. Over the past three weeks, Clark has just five appearances to his name for an average of 11.1 minutes per contest.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Available to play
Rotowire
Clark (calf) is available for Wednesday's meeting with the Jazz.
While Clark will be available for Wednesday's game, that doesn't mean he'll touch the court. He's been a negligible part of the rotation as of late, logging DNP-CDs in two of the past three games.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Questionable with calf soreness
Rotowire
Clark is questionable for Wednesday's game against Utah due to right calf soreness.
Clark is in danger of being out for the second half of this back-to-back set. However, he hasn't seen any playing time in two of Minnesota's last three contests, suggesting Clark is a negligible part of the rotation for now.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: No playing time Friday
Rotowire
Clark (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Timberwolves' 127-117 win over the Warriors.
Clark had seen action in each of Minnesota's last four games and averaged 4.0 points in 4.5 minutes, but all of those appearances came in the fourth quarter of contests in which the outcome was already decided. The third-year wing will likely continue to find himself outside of the Minnesota rotation for the foreseeable future.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Good to go Thursday
Rotowire
Clark (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Clark was initially listed as questionable for Thursday's game due to an illness, but the third-year pro has been given the green light to play against Toronto. However, his availability shouldn't impact the Timberwolves' rotation all that much, given that he's been a healthy DNP in five of Minnesota's last six games since the All-Star break.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Clark (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto.
Clark recently fell out of Minnesota's rotation, so his status will not have a big impact in fantasy hoops. He's appeared in only one game since the All-Star break.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Moves out of rotation
Rotowire
Clark (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Thursday in the Timberwolves' 94-88 win over the Clippers.
For the second straight contest and the third time in four games, Clark failed to see any playing time. The third-year player had previously appeared in 28 straight contests from Dec. 21 through the All-Star break, but he averaged just 12.3 minutes per contest over that stretch. Clark appears to have ceded his meager role in head coach Chris Finch's rotation to fellow wing Terrence Shannon, who has received just 10 total minutes while taking the floor for the past two contests.
Clark ended with four points (2-6 FG), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 139-106 victory over Milwaukee.
Head coach Chris Finch has often deployed a tight rotation throughout 2025-26, which has kept Clark from logging at least 20 minutes in all but five of his 38 appearances. Unless Finch shows more of a tendency to rely on his bench, Clark should remain hard-pressed for fantasy relevance.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Provides spark off bench
Rotowire
Clark amassed 12 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 141-115 win over the Wizards.
Clark was efficient in limited chances Sunday and was the only Minnesota bench player to score in double figures. He was far more involved after logging only five minutes Saturday against Miami, as he ended up shouldering his heaviest workload of the 2025-26 campaign. Clark hasn't been able to consistently contribute so far this season for the Timberwolves, but this was certainly a step in the right direction.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Collects four stocks in win
Rotowire
Clark posted 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one block and three steals over 19 minutes during Monday's 136-101 victory over Chicago.
Clark hasn't played a major role off the Timberwolves bench this season, posting only eight games with more than 19 minutes, but he made the most of his playing time Monday night. The 24-year-old forward scored in double digits for the third time this season and led both teams with three steals. The UCLA product is averaging 4.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.5 assists in 14.2 minutes per game in his sophomore season.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Clark (illness) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
Clark missed Friday's contest due to an illness, but he'll be back in action Sunday against Milwaukee. The 24-year-old wing is averaging 4.4 points and 2.1 rebounds across 14.7 minutes per game this season.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Clark (illness) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Thunder.
With Clark out for Friday's game, there should be more minutes available for Terrence Shannon and Rob Dillingham in the second unit. For now, Clark should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Clark (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Clark was a very late addition to the injury report. His role has been trending down, and he logged just nine minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Plays just nine minutes in loss
Rotowire
Clark totaled two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal across nine minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
Clark's role has dwindled, as he saw under 10 minutes of playing time for the first time since Nov. 26. This decreased role came with Anthony Edwards (foot) and Mike Conley (Achilles) sidelined, which may signal that Clark might be out of the rotation entirely once Edwards and/or Conley return.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Pops off bench
Rotowire
Clark racked up 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 victory over the Pelicans.
For the fourth game in a row, Clark saw minutes in the teens off the bench. This was his third solid showing in a row, but until the minutes creep up even more, his fantasy appeal is going to be limited to the deepest of fantasy leagues.
