Rotoworld Player News

Terrence Shannon

MIN Guard-Forward #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) is questionable to play against the Pelicans on Friday.

Shannon is in danger of missing a third straight game. His absence has allowed Jaylen Clark to step into a larger role off the bench, where he had 10 points, two steals and two triples in 25 minutes on Wednesday.
Jonathan Kuminga

MIN Forward #24

Jonathan Kuminga produced 16 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Rockets.

Anthony Edwards’ knee injury and subsequent surgery created more scoring opportunities for the entire Timberwolves rotation, but Kuminga’s production has been inconsistent. Over the last five games, he’s alternated between single- and double-digit scoring efforts. Given the trend, Kuminga was due for a solid performance on Wednesday, and he recorded a complete stat line. Fantasy managers will hope Kuminga can build on this night when the Timberwolves visit the Pelicans on Friday.
Bones Hyland

MIN Guard #8

Bones Hyland amassed 19 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Rockets.

Of the five games the Timberwolves have played since Anthony Edwards underwent knee surgery, Hyland has scored in double figures in four. Against the Rockets, he shot over 50 percent from the field and dished out four assists. While Bones isn’t worth considering in 12-team leagues, managers in deep leagues should add him to their watch lists.
Ayo Dosunmu

MIN Guard #13

Ayo Dosunmu recorded 21 points (10-of-20 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, six assists and two steals in Wednesday’s win over the Rockets.

Since moving into the Timberwolves’ starting lineup after Anthony Edwards underwent knee surgery, Dosunmu has scored at least 15 points in five straight games. One game removed from finishing two assists shy of a triple-double, Ayo finished Wednesday’s victory with his second 20-point game of the season. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good night for those rostering Dosunmu.
LaMelo Ball

MIN Guard #1

LaMelo Ball tallied 20 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Rockets.

After recording nearly as many turnovers (six) as points (eight) in the first three quarters of Wednesday’s game, Ball rose to the occasion in the fourth. Shooting 4-of-4 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line, the Timberwolves point guard scored 12 points in the fourth quarter. With Anthony Edwards (knee) out, the Timberwolves need Ball to be consistently efficient, and he’s been solid this week.
Terrence Shannon

MIN Guard-Forward #4

Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Wednesday.

Shannon will miss a second straight game with this hip injury. Jaylen Clark ended up taking on extra minutes as a reserve on Monday, which will likely happen again, though he isn’t a player to consider streaming in.
Terrence Shannon

MIN Guard-Forward #4

Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

Shannon did not play in Monday’s win over the Bucks, which moved Jaylen Clark up a spot in the Timberwolves’ rotation. That may remain the case on Wednesday if Shannon can’t play, but Clark shouldn’t be rostered in redraft leagues.
Ayo Dosunmu

MIN Guard #13

Ayo Dosunmu had 19 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer against the Bucks on Monday.

While LaMelo Ball erupted for 34 points in this one, Dosunmu may be the real fantasy winner from Anthony Edwards (knee) having to miss time with an injury. Dosunmu had a full stat line and was two assists shy of a triple-double in the win over the Bucks. He should be rostered in all formats at this point.
LaMelo Ball

MIN Guard #1

LaMelo Ball had 34 points (12-of-21 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and six three-pointers in the Timberwolves’ 112-100 victory over the Bucks on Monday.

Ball’s 34 points are the most he’s had in a game with the Timberwolves so far. With Anthony Edwards (knee) sidelined, the offensive burden undoubtedly falls on LaMelo. He’s due for some more performances like this one while Edwards remains out.
LaMelo Ball

MIN Guard #1

LaMelo Ball (wrist) is available for Monday’s game against the Bucks.

Despite a right wrist contusion, Ball is available to play on Monday. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting point guard, and the Timberwolves will need a more efficient Ball as they continue without Anthony Edwards (knee). He’s joined in the starting lineup by Ayo Dosunmu, Jaden McDaniels, Jonathan Kuminga and Rudy Gobert. Gobert’s return pushes Joan Beringer to the bench.
