Jaylen Clark News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves | FOX Sports

Remains out indefinitely Clark (Achilles) is out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Clark ruptured his right Achilles tendon in March and underwent surgery but was still selected by Minnesota in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft. The Timberwolves expected the rookie to miss at least the first half of the season, and after 31 games and the calendar flipping to 2024, there still hasn't been a substantial update. Until Clark returns to basketball activities, he can be considered month-to-month moving forward.

Likely to miss start of season The Timberwolves are preparing for Clark (Achilles) to miss at least the first half of the 2023-24 season, Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Clark suffering a right Achilles' tendon tear in March and later underwent surgery, but the major injury didn't deter the Timberwolves from selecting him in the second round in the 2023 NBA Draft and subsequently signing him to a two-way deal. Because he'll likely be sidelined for the entire 2023 portion of the Timberwolves' schedule and quite possibly beyond that, Clark is unlikely to exceed the two-way player limit of 50 active games with the NBA team during his rookie season. With that in mind, Clark will likely remain on a two-way deal throughout the upcoming season, but he could be upgraded to a standard NBA deal ahead of the 2024-25 season if he shows well in the G League and/or with the Timberwolves in the second half of the upcoming campaign.

Inks two-way deal The Timberwolves signed Clark (Achilles) to a two-way contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Clark was a second-round selection for Minnesota in the 2023 NBA Draft. While it's unclear when he'll be able to take the court due to tearing his Achilles at the end of last season at UCLA, he is set to split time between the G League and NBA when he returns.
