Officially out Sunday McDaniels (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.

Impact McDaniels was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness and was initially listed as questionable, but coach Chris Finch said he didn't expect the forward to play. Kyle Anderson and Austin Rivers are expected to be the primary beneficiaries of McDaniels' first absence of the season.

Impact The Timberwolves will likely wait and see what McDaniels is able to do in pregame warmups ahead of Sunday's 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff before making a call on his status, but the third-year forward looks to be trending toward his first absence of the 2022-23 season. If McDaniels is sidelined, Kyle Anderson and Austin Rivers would be the main candidates to absorb most of his vacated minutes.

Late addition to injury report McDaniels is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Golden State due to an illness.

Impact McDaniels was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. If he misses his first game of the season, Kyle Anderson, Jaylen Nowell and Naz Reid would be candidates for increased roles against the Warriors.

Scores season low in loss McDaniels struggled in Friday's 110-108 loss to the Hornets to the tune of two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3PT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 24 minutes.

Impact McDaniels' two points were a season low and snapped a streak of four straight games in double digits. It was also the first time in seven games he did not see at least 30 minutes on the court. Chalk it up to an off night for the young wing, who will look to bounce back Sunday when Minnesota hosts the Warriors.

Impact Minnesota made a remarkable 61.0 percent of its shots Wednesday, and McDaniels played a key role by going 8-for-11 from the field. After scoring in double-digits only four times in the season's first nine games, the 22-year-old has reached that mark in four straight contests and seven of his last nine appearances. He's made 57.4 percent of his shots and 43.8 percent of his three-point tries over the last 10 games.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels, Karl-Anthony Towns rank among NBA leaders in most fouls committed The two players have committed 57 fouls each, and each faces distinct challenges in trying to limit them.

Poor shooting Wednesday McDaniels posted 10 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 126-108 win over the Magic.

Impact McDaniels missed five of his last six shot attempts and produced one of his worst shooting nights of the season. The 22-year-old has been quite efficient offensively this season -- making 53.7 percent of his tries -- but struggled to find the bottom of the net Wednesday. Through 15 contests, he is putting up career-high averages in minutes, points, assists, steals and blocks.

Stays hot McDaniels closed with 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 114-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact McDaniels posted a versatile and efficient stat line. The 22-year-old's free throw attempts were encouraging, with Friday marking just the second contest he's earned more than three attempts. Notably, McDaniels has fouled out in two of Minnesota's last three contests.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Best game of season Wednesday McDaniels recorded 24 points (10-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and a block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 129-117 loss against the Suns.

Impact McDaniels was trending downwards after putting up single-digit scoring figures in five of his previous six contests, but he came out of nowhere to put in a season-high scoring mark in this loss. This was only the second time McDaniels reached the 20-point mark, though, so it'd be extreme to expect this kind of production on a regular basis going forward.

Decline in production continues McDaniels closed with six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 120-107 loss to the Knicks.

Impact McDaniels fouled out in just 17 minutes Monday, continuing what has been a steady decline over the past few games. He opened the season with a flurry, providing elite defensive numbers while chipping in on the offensive end. However, he has now accumulated just one steal and two blocks over the past four games, scoring a total of just 32 points. He remains a hold in standard formats, but managers will want to keep an eye on his trajectory moving forward.

Fails to make offensive impact McDaniels amassed four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Monday's 115-106 loss to the Spurs.

Impact After scoring is double figures in each of his first three appearances, McDaniels struggled to find an offensive rhythm Monday. The third-year forward is known for his defensive prowess, so his strong offensive start to the season was certainly encouraging. However, his offensive production will likely be sporadic during the 2022-23 campaign. Across four appearances (all starts), McDaniels has posted 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 assists in 31.5 minutes per game.

Impact Although McDaniels was unable to convert any of his attempts from beyond the arc Wednesday, he shot 50 percent from the floor and 90 percent from the charity stripe to help lead Minnesota to the victory. The 22-year-old is a strong defender, but it was encouraging to see him begin the year with a strong offensive performance after he averaged just 9.2 points and 1.1 assists per game last year.
