MARCH 22, 2023 • Associated Press

Downgraded to out McLaughlin (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact McLaughlin was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately be sidelined due to an illness. In his absence, Austin Rivers and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be candidates for increased roles behind Mike Conley.

Dealing with illness McLaughlin is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to an illness.

Impact McLaughlin was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign, but he still has a chance to suit up Wednesday night. If he's sidelined, Austin Rivers and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates for increased roles behind Mike Conley.

Team-high eight assists off bench McLaughlin closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and eight assists in 24 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to the Raptors.

Impact McLaughlin played his most minutes since Dec. 3 and dished out a team-high eight assists, though he did tie his season high with three turnovers. The undrafted point guard out of USC still hasn't scored in double figures since returning from a two-month injury absence at the beginning of February and has averaged just 3.7 points, 2.8 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game over his past 17 appearances.

Continues to garner modest role McLaughlin supplied five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Following a two-month absence due to a calf strain, McLaughlin has appeared in 12 straight games but is averaging just 2.9 points, 2.2 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 14.8 minutes during that stretch. Barring numerous injuries, it's safe to leave McLaughlin on the waiver wire in standard leagues despite his consistent role in Minnesota's rotation.

Good to go Wednesday McLaughlin (calf) will be available for Wednesday's game against Utah, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact There were concerns McLaughlin would sit the tail end of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set after missing two months with a calf injury before returning to action Sunday. However, with D'Angelo Russell being traded and unavailable Wednesday and Austin Rivers (suspension) sidelined, McLaughlin will be much needed in the backcourt, although he has played just eight and 12 minutes since his return.

Questionable Wednesday McLaughlin is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to left calf strain injury management.

Impact McLaughlin missed nearly two months due to a calf injury but has been back in action over the last two matchups. He's averaged just 10.0 minutes per game during that time, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. If the 26-year-old is sidelined, Jaylen Nowell could see a slight uptick in playing time.

Available to play Tuesday McLaughlin (calf) is available to play Tuesday against Denver.

Impact The guard returned from injury Sunday against Denver and played just 12 minutes, but he could pick up a few more Tuesday evening with so many Minnesota players on the shelf.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Tuesday McLaughlin (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Nuggets.

Impact After making his first appearance since missing Minnesota's previous 30 games, McLaughlin is questionable for the Timberwolves' outing Tuesday. If the USC product is unable to suit up, his next chance to return comes Wednesday against the Jazz.

Makes return from lengthy absence McLaughlin (calf) played 12 minutes and finished with two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three assists in Sunday's 128-98 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Suiting up for the first time since Dec. 9 after missing nearly two months with a calf strain, McLaughlin was available off the bench on a minutes limit. With D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards entrenched as Minnesota's starters in the backcourt, McLaughlin isn't likely to see his playing time expand much from what he received Sunday, and the fourth-year player may not be guaranteed a spot in the rotation once the Timberwolves are back to full strength. With Austin Rivers sitting out the first game of a three-game ban, head coach Chris Finch will likely have to decide between Rivers and McLaughlin for a regular spot on the second unit alongside guard Jaylen Nowell.

Available with minutes limit McLaughlin (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets but will have a minutes restriction, Michael Grady of YES Network reports.

Impact McLaughlin hasn't played since Dec. 9 due to his calf injury, but he'll be able to suit up against Denver on Sunday. He averaged 15.9 minutes per game over 18 appearances prior to his absence but is unlikely to see much run Sunday.

Questionable for Sunday McLaughlin (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets.

Impact Head coach Chris Finch said less than a week ago that McLaughlin was "inching" toward his return, and the guard apparently continues to make good progress over the past few days. The 26-year-old hasn't seen game action since he suffered the calf strain Dec. 9, so even if available Sunday, he's unlikely to see significant run.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making small gains in recovery Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said Monday McLaughlin (calf) is "inching" forward in his return process, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact McLaughlin will miss his 29th straight game after being ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left calf strain. Based on Finch's comments, it doesn't appear that the 26-year-old guard will return to the lineup soon.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not close to return Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said Monday that he doesn't expect McLaughlin (calf) to return to game action anytime soon, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact McLaughlin is missing his 20th straight game Monday against the Jazz due to a left calf strain, and based on Finch's comments, the reserve guard looks to be viewed as week-to-week rather than day-to-day at this stage. His ongoing absence should continue to keep a rotation spot open for Austin Rivers on the second unit.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely 'weeks away' from playing McLaughlin is considered weeks away from returning to the lineup while he continues to recover from the left calf strain he sustained in early December, Jon Krawczynski of The Athl...

Impact The reserve guard is now a month removed from suffering the injury, but the Timberwolves have yet to indicate that he's nearing a return to game action. Considering that McLaughlin hasn't been reported to have resumed practicing, he'll likely miss several more games before potentially suiting up for the Timberwolves sometime in the latter half of January. His ongoing absence will afford more opportunities on the second unit for Jaylen Nowell and Austin Rivers.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out McLaughlin (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Clippers.

Impact McLaughlin hasn't played since Dec. 9 due to a lingering calf injury. Head coach Chris Finch said at the end of December that the backup point guard would be re-evaluated in approximately one week, so an update should be coming in the next few days. Until then, McLaughlin's next chance to suit up will come Sunday against Houston.

Out at least another week Head coach Chris Finch relayed Wednesday that McLaughlin (calf) will be re-evaluated in approximately a week, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact McLaughlin's calf issue has been lingering since early December, and it's still unclear when he will progress enough to return to action. Given the updated timetable, his next opportunity to rejoin the action, pending the re-evaluation, will likely come later next week.
