Andrew Nembhard - Still out MondayNembhard (knee) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactNembhard will miss a fifth consecutive game due to a right knee injury. The second-year pro will likely be re-evaluated at some point this week, and based on initial evaluations he should be able to return to action soon barring any new developments.

Jalen Smith - Out for MondaySmith (heel) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactIt was reported earlier in the week that Smith had started doing things on the court and was nearing a return, but he remains unavailable on Monday. Isaiah Jackson will continue to see extended minutes behind Myles Turner.

Josh Minott - Questionable for MondayMinott (illness) is questionable Monday against Miami.

ImpactMinott is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to illness. He hasn't been a relevant factor in Minnesota's rotation regardless, logging six total minutes of court time across his past nine healthy games.

Jaden McDaniels - Listed as questionableMcDaniels is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat due to a sacral contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

ImpactMcDaniels left Saturday's game against the Pacers after just 18 minutes due to the injury. If McDaniels is sidelined, Kyle Anderson, Troy Brown and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates for increased roles.

Anthony Edwards - Iffy for MondayEdwards is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.

ImpactEdwards played 34 minutes during Saturday's win over Indiana, posting 37 points, four assists, two rebounds and three steals. However, before that game, he appeared in just three of Minnesota's previous six games, averaging 8.7 points on 18.9 percent from the field during that stretch. It looks like Edwards is turning a corner with the hip issue, but fantasy managers should still monitor his status closely.

DECEMBER 17, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Tyrese Haliburton - Questionable for MondayHaliburton (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

ImpactHaliburton sustained a bruised left knee during Friday's loss to the Wizards and was unavailable Saturday against Minnesota. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return Monday, but T.J. McConnell, Bruce Brown and Bennedict Nathurin could see increased roles if Haliburton is sidelined.

Naz Reid - Efficient off bench SaturdayReid contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 win over the Pacers.

ImpactReid continues to make an impact when coming off the bench, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say he's been one of the most productive second-unit players in the Western Conference, and perhaps in the entire league. Reid has been a regular scoring alternative for the TImberwolves despite his secondary role, and he's averaging 15.1 points per game over his last 10 games while scoring in double digits eight times in that span.
