Impact It was previously believed that Russell was not listed on the team's injury report, but he is in fact being considered questionable on the league's official injury report.

Out Friday Russell (shin) will not play in Friday's game against the Suns, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.

Impact Russell drew a questionable designation after injuring his shin in Thursday's victory over the Lakers. With Friday being the second night of a back-to-back set, the Timberwolves will err on the side of caution with their starting point guard. As a result, Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell figure to see increased roles.

Questionable Friday Russell (shin) is questionable for Friday's game at Phoenix.

Impact Russell suffered the injury during Thursday's matchup with the Warriors, and his availability for the second half of the back-to-back set is now up in the air. Malik Beasley and Jaylen Nowell should see increased run Friday should Russell ultimately be ruled out.

Impact Russell suffered an injury to his shin at the beginning of the third quarter. The guard was quickly ruled out, finishing the game with eight points, five assists, four rebounds and a steal in 20 minutes of action.

Posts game-winner Russell posted 22 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 109-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Russell got lucky with a borderline goaltending call on Anfernee Simons, who appeared to block Russell's game-winning shot attempt. In the final seconds, the call went Minnesota's way, yielding the narrow victory. After posting a double-double in the previous game, Russell's assist total suffered due to an excellent performance by Anthony Edwards, who is adept at creating his own opportunities.

Posts double-double in victory Russell recorded 23 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 136-125 win over the Nets.

Impact Russell dropped 31 points in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta, and he remained productive on the scoreboard Sunday while posting his first double-double since Jan. 11. While the 25-year-old had a lackluster stat line in his first appearance following his five-game absence in late December and early January, he's been a reliable fantasy contributor since then.

Hits for 31 in loss Russell scored 31 points (10-18 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 6-9 FT) while adding five assists, two rebounds, two steals and a block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 loss to the Hawks.

Impact He wound up leading the Timberwolves in scoring and helped the team jump out to a 42-26 lead after the first quarter, but when Patrick Beverley left with an ankle injury after only six minutes and then Anthony Edwards got himself ejected in the third quarter, Minnesota saw the win slip through its fingers. Russell has topped 20 points in four of the last seven games, averaging 21.6 points, 8.4 assists, 4.0 threes, 2.4 boards and 1.3 steals over that stretch.

Stays hot from three Russell notched 29 points (11-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block in 35 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 116-108 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Russell scored at least 20 points for the third time in his last four games and is shooting 54.3 percent from three during those contests. For most of the season, he's deferred to Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, but the Timberwolves will need all three of their stars clicking if they want to reach their full potential. On Sunday, Russell will look to stay hot against the Warriors -- his former team.
