Joan Beringer News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves

Comes close to double-double Beringer closed Thursday's 133-94 victory over the Mavericks with 13 points (4-5 FG, 5-8 FT), nine rebounds and three blocks over 22 minutes.

Impact Beringer isn't one of the most reliable fantasy options for the Timberwolves, but he made the most of his opportunity in this blowout win. He finished just one rebound shy of a double-double and left his mark as a rim protector and scorer, posting season-best marks in points and blocks. He's started just one game this season, however, so his fantasy appeal will remain limited as long as he remains in a bench role.

Will play Sunday Beringer (nose) will play in Sunday's game against Utah, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact Beringer is dealing with a broken nose he sustained in Friday's win over New Orleans, though he'll still suit up for Sunday's contest. Through 10 regular-season outings (one start), the second-year big man is averaging 5.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 0.8 blocks across 16.5 minutes per tilt.

Questionable for Sunday Beringer (nose) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Beringer broke his nose during Friday's win over the Pelicans, so he might need to miss Sunday's game. If he's out, Trey Lyles would have the chance for some extended run.

Out with nasal fracture Beringer was ruled out for the second half of Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a nasal fracture, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact Although Beringer's nasal fracture will prevent him from returning to Friday's contest, he may be able to play through the injury during future games while wearing a mask. Trey Lyles stands to benefit from increased minutes in the meantime.

Not starting Monday Beringer will not start Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact As expected, with Rudy Gobert (back) returning to the lineup Monday, Beringer will shift back to the bench.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Beringer will start Saturday against the Spurs, Jack Borman of Lockedon Wolves reports.

Impact Beringer will draw the start with Rudy Gobert (back) out, making him an intriguing plug-and-play option in daily fantasy leagues. Beringer can struggle with foul trouble, and he'll have a tough matchup against San Antonio, but he can rack up the rebounds and defensive stats when given the opportunity.

Team option picked up Beringer's contract option for next season is being exercised by Minnesota, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Minnesota locking in Beringer for another season, the young center's roster spot and longer-term place in the frontcourt are more secure. Beringer remains a developmental piece for the Timberwolves, but he's been thrust into a larger role in the middle now that Naz Reid is in Charlotte.

Season-high 10 rebounds Beringer provided seven points (3-3 FG, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Beringer pulled down a season-high 10 rebound Wednesday. Now that Naz Reid is in Charlotte, Beringer carries plenty of contingent upside as the No. 2 center behind Rudy Gobert but doesn't hold particularly stable standalone value outside of boards.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double in win Beringer ended Friday's 115-93 win over the Magic with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT) and nine rebounds over 15 minutes.

Impact Beringer came within a whisker of his first double-double of the season, providing Minnesota with serviceable production as the backup center. It's been a modest start to the campaign for the sophomore, having now assumed the role of primary backup behind Rudy Gobert. Assuming Gobert remains healthy, Beringer should be considered nothing more than a rebound and blocks streamer.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Wednesday Beringer won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat.

Impact Beringer started Friday's preseason finale with Rudy Gobert (rest) receiving a maintenance day, though the veteran big man is back in his usual starting role for the regular-season opener. Beringer figures to operate as Gobert's primary backup to begin the 2026-27 campaign.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Friday Beringer will start Friday's preseason finale against the Bulls.

Impact With Minnesota resting all of their regulars, Beringer will start alongside Zyon Pullin, Terrence Shannon, Jaylen Clark and Cody Williams. Beringer recorded 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Shows well in defeat Beringer recorded 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.

Impact Beringer made a nice impression to the coaching staff ahead of a critical second season in the league. After dominating at the G League rank in 2025-26, the 2025 first-rounder is slotting in as Minnesota's No. 2 center behind Rudy Gobert now that Reid is out of the frontcourt mix.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Beringer is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason matchup with Miami.

Impact Rudy Gobert (rest) won't play Saturday, so Beringer will get some time to shine as a starter. He has elite defensive instincts, but he also has a tendency to find himself in foul trouble.

Grabs eight boards in preseason loss Beringer amassed two points (1-3 FG), eight rebounds and one block in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason loss to Indiana.

Impact Beringer was the first big off the bench once again, a role that he will presumably retain beyond the preseason. Although his production to this point has been modest, he should at least be on the radar as a speculative last-round pick for anyone needing boards and blocks. Should Rudy Gobert suffer an injury at any point during the season, Beringer could be a popular addition across all formats.

Efficient in preseason opener Beringer supplied 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 15 minutes in Monday's 116-97 preseason win over the Bucks.

Impact Beringer led the second unit in rebounding Monday in Minnesota's preseason opener. The second-year big man is slotting in as the team's No. 2 center behind Rudy Gobert now that Naz Reid is out of the frontcourt mix, so Beringer should have an Opening Night role.
