Jaylen Clark News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves

Muted role continues Clark ended with four points (2-6 FG), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 139-106 victory over Milwaukee.

Impact Head coach Chris Finch has often deployed a tight rotation throughout 2025-26, which has kept Clark from logging at least 20 minutes in all but five of his 38 appearances. Unless Finch shows more of a tendency to rely on his bench, Clark should remain hard-pressed for fantasy relevance.

Impact Clark was efficient in limited chances Sunday and was the only Minnesota bench player to score in double figures. He was far more involved after logging only five minutes Saturday against Miami, as he ended up shouldering his heaviest workload of the 2025-26 campaign. Clark hasn't been able to consistently contribute so far this season for the T-Wolves, but this was certainly a step in the right direction.

Impact For the fourth game in a row, Clark saw minutes in teens off the bench. This was his third solid showing in a row, but until the minutes creep up even more, his fantasy appeal is going to be limited to the deepest of fantasy leagues.
