Jaden McDaniels News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves

Scores career-high 25 points McDaniels ended with 25 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 45 minutes during Friday's 139-131 double-overtime loss to the Bulls.

Impact McDaniels' 25 points mark a new career high for the high-flying forward. He showed the full display offensively, taking players off the dribble and shooting from the perimeter with confidence as he hit four triples for the seventh time in his career. With Anthony Edwards rolling his ankle pretty good Friday, McDaniels may have more offense flowing through him after this display.

DeRozan scores 49 as Bulls beat Timberwolves in double OT

DeMar DeRozan scored a season-high 49 points, Zach LaVine finished with 39 and the Chicago Bulls beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 139-131 in double overtime

Provides solid offensive game McDaniels accumulated 19 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 136-115 win over Atlanta.

Impact McDaniels' big night got off to a fast start as he scored eight of Minnesota's first 12 points. The Hawks had Trae Young defending McDaniels, but Atlanta had to change their defensive matchups, as the size discrepancy proved to be a challenge. The 22-year-old has consecutive games with at least 15 points and has rejected a shot in six straight appearances, his longest stretch of the season. He doesn't produce in many other categories though, limiting his overall fantasy value.

Anthony Edwards scores 27 points, Timberwolves edge Kings

Anthony Edwards scored 27 points and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat Sacramento 138-134 on Saturday night to snap the Kings’ winning streak at five games

MARCH 5, 2023 • Associated Press

Excels against Clippers once again McDaniels amassed 20 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 108-101 victory over the Clippers.

Impact McDaniels seems to have the Clippers' number. After dropping an 18/4/3 line on them back in January, he came to Crypto.com Arena and put up another excellent number. McDaniels' February results fell a bit short of expectations, however. Over 11 games, he averaged 12.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists.

McDaniels has 20 points, Timberwolves beat Clippers 108-101

Jaden McDaniels scored 20 points, Anthony Edwards added 18 and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Clippers 108-101 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak

Strong two-way effort in loss McDaniels posted 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 109-104 loss to Golden State.

Impact McDaniels featured on both ends of the floor, continuing what has been a strong two weeks. Over that time he sits inside the top 100 in 12-team leagues, thanks largely to an uptick in his offensive output. Despite a few ups and downs, McDaniels' role has remained relatively consistent this season. While the upside is limited, he remains a solid addition to most fantasy squads.

Puts together strong scoring night McDaniels logged 19 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 124-121 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact McDaniels turned in his best scoring performance since Jan. 2 with the help of an efficient shooting night, and he also showed up on the defensive end after failing to record a block or steal Friday in Memphis. The Washington product played a big role in his team's final stand to secure the win, as he helped shut down Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic on Dallas' final possession. McDaniels has been a bit inconsistent on the offensive end, totaling six or fewer points in two of his last four appearances.

Fight between Magic, Timberwolves leads to 5 players ejected

A fight broke out and punches were thrown during the game between the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • Associated Press

Among five players ejected McDaniels was ejected Friday against the Magic.

Impact Mo Bamba and Austin Rivers got into a heated altercation, and several other players got involved. Bamba and Rivers appeared to be the only players throwing punches, so they could be looking at suspensions. McDaniels finished the night with eight points, three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and a three-pointer in 23 minutes.

Swats away two shots McDaniels logged nine points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 overtime victory over Gol...

Impact McDaniels finally entered the stat column on the defensive end of the court after failing to record a defensive stat in his previous three matchups. It's typically been either feast or famine for the Washington product on the defensive end, but he was certainly locked in Wednesday evening. McDaniels is averaging 10.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his last 10 contests.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Another disappointing effort McDaniels ended with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact McDaniels, who missed a very brief spell in this one due to an undisclosed issue but returned following a brief visit to the locker room, had his third straight game without registering a defensive stat, continuing what has been an underwhelming period. He is now outside the top 170 over the past two weeks, averaging just 1.2 combined steals and blocks. He isn't out of place on a 12-team roster, but the lack of upside does mean managers shouldn't be afraid to send him packing.

Returns to contest Monday McDaniels returned to Monday's contest against the Kings, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact The forward exited Monday's matchup in the first quarter but is back with the team for the start of the second quarter. The forward appears to be all clear of injury, but fantasy managers should still check in on his status for his next contest Wednesday against the Warriors.

Exits Monday's contest early McDaniels exited Monday's contest against the Kings early and went to the locker room, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact The extent of the forward's injury is unknown at this time. If McDaniels is ultimately forced time miss time, the likes of Taurean Prince, Naz Reid and Austin Rivers figure to receive more playing time.

Underwhelms in victory Friday McDaniels finished with eight points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 111-100 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact McDaniels logged 31 minutes in the win, although you wouldn't know it by looking at the final box score. After an encouraging start to the season, McDaniels has slowed of late, sitting just inside the top 150 in standard formats over the past two weeks. While he should be considered a viable 12-team asset, the lack of upside does mean managers could consider parting ways should a hot free agent be available.

Strong two-way performance McDaniels ended Wednesday's 122-118 loss to Denver with 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 34 minutes.

Impact McDaniels impressed on both sides of the rock in the loss, shooting efficiently and collecting at least three blocks for the sixth time this season. His production fluctuates wildly from game to game, but he's still worth rostering in many fantasy leagues. Since Christmas, he's averaging 12.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.9 minutes.

Notches four thefts in win McDaniels finished Saturday's 110-102 win over the Cavaliers with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four steals, two rebounds and one block in 28 minutes.

Impact The Timberwolves took advantage of a sloppy Cavaliers squad that committed 18 turnovers on the night, with all of McDaniels, Kyle Anderson and Jaylen Nowell coming away with multiple steals. McDaniels didn't supplement his defensive production with much on the offensive end, but he had averaged a respectable 13.8 points and 1.8 three-pointers per game on 55.6 percent shooting from the field over his previous four outings.

Quiet against Detroit McDaniels finished with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 135-118 loss to the Pistons.

Impact The third-year forward has become a solid complementary piece of the puzzle for Minnesota. McDaniels has scored in double digits in 11 of the last 14 games, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.3 threes, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 54.1 percent from the floor and 41.9 percent from beyond the arc.
