Plays 17 minutes off bench Clark had eight points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals in 17 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 victory over the Jazz.

Impact With Mike Conley resting, Minnesota still blew out Utah, allowing Clark to play 17 minutes, his most since Feb. 24. He took advantage of the playing time, recording a season-high four steals while falling one short of his high-water mark in steals.

Used sparingly again Friday Clark had two points (1-1 FG), one assist and one steal over five minutes during Friday's 118-111 victory over Orlando.

Impact Clark managed just five minutes, continuing to play a reduced role now that the Timberwolves are largely healthy. He has now failed to score more than five points in eight of the past nine games, adding very little in terms of peripheral production. Barring more injuries to other players, Clark should continue to serve as nothing more than a depth piece.

With Clark occupying a standard roster spot, the Timberwolves will be signing Bones Hyland to a two-way contract.

Heads to locker room Sunday Clark went to the locker room after suffering an apparent head injury, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Clark left for the locker room in the third quarter after taking a fall on a layup attempt.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Makes NBA debut Clark played the final 3:08 of Thursday's 104-89 win over the Magic, missing his only field-goal attempt and recording a foul during his time on the court.

Impact Clark is in the midst of his second season as a two-way player for Minnesota, but his appearance in garbage time of Thursday's win marked his NBA debut. The No. 53 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft didn't see any action at the NBA or G League level last season while recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered during his time in college at UCLA. He was cleared to make his professional debut this past July in the Las Vegas Summer League and had made 20 appearances for the Iowa Wolves this season before being summoned to the parent club and getting the long-awaited chance to play for the Timberwolves on Thursday. Clark is likely to head back to Iowa in short order to see more consistent playing time.

The 22-year-old last played in 2022-23 for UCLA, during which he averaged 13.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 1.9 assists over 30 games. However, Clark's final collegiate season was cut short due to his Achilles injury, a season in which he was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year and to the All-Pac-12 Second Team.
