McDaniels (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

McDaniels and several other Timberwolves players -- including LaMelo Ball (rest) and Anthony Edwards (rest) -- will be idle for Saturday's preseason contest. McDaniels' next opportunity to play is Monday against New York.

Beringer is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason matchup with Miami.

Rudy Gobert (rest) won't play Saturday, so Beringer will get some time to shine as a starter. He has elite defensive instincts, but he also has a tendency to find himself in foul trouble.

Kuminga (rest) is not available against the Heat on Saturday.

Kuminga played in each of the Timberwolves' first two preseason games but will observe Saturday's game from the bench in street clothes. His next chance to play is against the Knicks on Monday.

Dosunmu (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against Miami.

Dosunmu will get a breather for Saturday's contest, as will other prominent Timberwolves players like Anthony Edwards (rest) and LaMelo Ball (rest). Dosunmu's next chance to play is Monday against the Knicks.

Lyles will start in Saturday's exhibition in Miami.

Lyles will start for the resting Jaden McDaniels on Saturday. Cody Williams will also have the chance for quality minutes in Saturday's exhibition with Jonathan Kuminga (rest) and Anthony Edwards (rest) also unavailable.

Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Gobert and several other prominent Timberwolves players will be idle for Saturday's exhibition contest. The veteran center's next chance to play is Monday against the Knicks.

Clark will start in Saturday's exhibition against the Heat.

Jaden McDaniels (rest) and Jonathan Kuminga (rest) are out, so Clark will be thrust into the starting unit for Saturday's exhibition. Clark earned one start last season and finished with eight points, three rebounds, two assists, two triples and one block over 30 minutes.

Edwards is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Edwards is getting a spot start Saturday since the 76ers are resting projected starters Jaylen Brown and LeBron James. He had a down year in 2025-26, averaging 6.0 points per game in 64 regular-season outings (12 starts), and he's expected to be limited to a bench role in 2026-27 when all the rotation members are healthy.

Wade is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Wade will get the start Saturday since the 76ers are resting players such as Jaylen Brown and LeBron James. Wade started in 38 of his 59 regular-season appearances with the Cavaliers in 2025-26, but he'll likely be a bench player when Philadelphia is healthy in 2026-27.

Edwards (rest) is not available for Saturday's preseason game against Miami.

Both Edwards and LaMelo Ball (rest) will get a breather Saturday while Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon form the Timberwolves' starting backcourt. In Edwards' last appearance against the Pacers on Wednesday, he finished with 19 points, one rebound and one assist over 20 minutes in a 123-112 loss. His next opportunity to play is Monday against New York.
