JOSH MINOTT NEWS

Rare appearance in win Minott closed with five points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 10 minutes during Saturday's 133-104 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Minott cracked the rotation for the first time in four games, continuing to serve as nothing more than a depth piece for the resurgent Timberwolves. After a rocky start to the campaign, Minnesota has now won seven of the past 11 games. Although Minott has suited up on 27 occasions, he is only averaging 7.4 minutes per game.

Good to go Minott (illness) has been cleared to play Monday against the Clippers.

Impact Minott was labeled as a game-time call due to illness, but he's since been given the green light to suit up. He's averaging 4.6 points and 1.4 rebounds over 8.6 minutes in his last five appearances.

Questionable to play Monday Minott (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Minott could miss a second straight game due to an illness. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would see a slight uptick in minutes off the bench should Minott be able to play Monday.

Won't suit up Saturday Minott (illness) will not play Saturday against the Pistons.

Impact Minott will miss his first game since Dec. 13, but the guard will be day-to-day going forward. He's been a fringe rotation player for Minnesota with an average of 8.6 minutes across his last five games.

Deemed questionable for Saturday Minott (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Minott is in jeopardy of missing his first outing since Dec. 13 due to the illness. The 22-year-old swingman has received little playing time at the NBA level, and his potential absence shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions. Over his last five games, Minott has averaged 4.6 points and 1.4 rebounds across 8.6 minutes per contest.

Plays just six minutes in win Minott closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one block across five minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Minott was used sparingly again, continuing what has been a frustrating start to the season. Although he has played in more games than he has missed, Minott typically logs most of his playing time down the stretch, when the game is done and dusted. Barring injuries to those around him, his role is unlikely to change moving forward.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Career-best performance Wednesday Minott ended with 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 108-80 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Minott logged more than 20 minutes in an NBA game for the first time in his career, and there's no question the second-year forward made the most of his minutes. He delivered career-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while making a huge impact off the bench. That said, Minott had appeared in just eight games prior to Wednesday's win and averaged only 6.4 minutes per game, so he's not likely to hover around the 20-minute-per-game mark all of a sudden.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Used sparingly in victory Minott had one point (1-2 FT), one rebound and one block in eight minutes during Monday's 114-93 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Minott slid into the rotation for just the second time this season, playing eight minutes of garbage time. He is typically only ever utilized when the scoreline is one-sided. There is no indication that his role is going to change moving forward.

Starting vs. Denver Minott will start in Thursday's preseason finale against the Nuggets.

Impact The Timberwolves are not only resting their starters, but they're also resting their regular reserves for this contest. Minott will have the chance to impress the coaching staff and will start alongside Luka Garza in the frontcourt. Rob Dillingham, Terrence Shannon and P.J. Dozier form the rest of the first unit.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team with 18 points Minott posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 125=123 preseason loss to the Bulls.

Impact One shouldn't read much into Minott's performance. The 2022 second-round pick is trapped in a crowded depth chart that won't give him many opportunities to move up. Although he shows promise and signed a new deal in the offseason, his participation will be limited.

Staying in Minnesota in 2024-25 Minott's $2.02 million contract for the 2024-25 season became fully guaranteed Friday, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact Minott has logged just 47 appearances with Minnesota through his first two seasons in the professional ranks, but he's posted impressive numbers with the G League's Iowa Wolves and is still viewed as a promising developmental piece for the organization. Though the Timberwolves are keeping him in the fold for the 2024-25 campaign, Minott may not be assured a larger role during the upcoming season. Reserves Kyle Anderson, Monte Morris and Jordan McLaughlin are the lone Timberwolves rotation players from this past season scheduled for free agency, and Minnesota may have already found their replacements in first-round draft picks Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon.
