LaMelo Ball News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves

Scores 24 points Sunday Ball tallied 24 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 30 minutes in Sunday's 115-100 win over the Jazz.

Impact Ball extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to four, and the star floor general has also drained at least three three-pointers in each of those contests, so he's making his presence felt in the absence of Anthony Edwards (knee). Ball's impressive combination of scoring, assists and defensive contributions continues to offer considerable fantasy upside despite occasional efficiency concerns. He's averaging 22.3 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 3.8 three-pointers and 1.8 steals per game over his last six games.

Drops 22 in Friday's win Ball registered 22 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 115-109 victory over New Orleans.

Impact The former Hornet delivered at least 20 points for the fourth time in the last five games. Ball has seen a little more shot volume since Anthony Edwards (knee) went down, but for the most part his role hasn't changed, just his efficiency. During that five-game stretch, Ball is averaging 22.0 points, 5.6 assists, 4.4 boards, 3.8 threes and 1.8 steals while shooting 47.4 percent from the floor, 90.5 percent from the charity stripe and 41.3 percent from long distance -- all of which would be career-best shooting marks over a full season.

Impact Ball did not miss during the final frame, scoring 12 of his 20 points on 4-for-4 shooting, as he guided his team to victory. In five games without Anthony Edwards (knee surgery), Ball has averaged 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 3.6 triples and 2.0 steals per contest on 44.4 percent shooting from the field and 87.5 percent from the stripe.

Pops for 34 points Ball tallied 34 points (12-21 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 112-100 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Ball was feeling it as a scorer Monday night, and it resulted in his best performance of the young season. He's put up 20-plus points in two of his last three games, and he'll need to continue to provide some pop on the offensive end while Anthony Edwards rehabs from arthroscopic knee surgery.

Cleared to play Monday Ball (wrist) is active for Monday's game against the Bucks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ball picked up a questionable designation due to a right wrist contusion sustained over the weekend, but he's going to tough it out at home versus Milwaukee. He'll look to bounce back after fouling out in just 20 minutes during Minnesota's 121-111 loss to the Spurs on Saturday.

Iffy with wrist issue Ball is questionable for Monday's game against Milwaukee due to a right wrist contusion.

Impact Ball's status is uncertain heading into Monday's matchup, leaving Minnesota's backcourt potentially shorthanded. With Anthony Edwards (knee) already ruled out, Ball's availability will be particularly important for the Timberwolves' offensive production. Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu could be heavily involved if Ball is absent.

Bounces back Friday Ball ended with 24 points (9-20 FG, 6-15 3Pt), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Friday's 127-101 win over the Clippers.

Impact After finishing with only eight points in Wednesday's 119-114 loss to Golden State, Ball responded by posting his highest-scoring game of the 2026-27 campaign thus far. With Anthony Edwards (knee) on the shelf, expectations will be high for Ball moving ahead. While the 25-year-old is certainly more than capable of picking up the slack offensively, it's unknown how his body will respond to being the Timberwolves' interim No. 1 scoring option, considering injuries have been a theme throughout his career.

Shooting woes surface again Ball finished with eight points (3-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 119-114 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Ball endured another inefficient shooting performance, converting just 27.3 percent of his field-goal attempts while committing six turnovers. His eight assists provided some fantasy value, but his scoring struggles were particularly concerning, as he should take on a bigger role offensively with Anthony Edwards (knee) sidelined for several weeks. Even though his shooting efficiency and turnover problems remain significant concerns, Ball should still have a ton of upside with Edwards out going forward. He's a strong bounce-back candidate after failing to clear the 15-point mark in each of his previous four appearances.

Struggles with turnovers in OT loss Ball finished with 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Monday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Ball endured a difficult offensive performance, connecting on just one of six three-point attempts while committing seven turnovers. His six assists provided some fantasy value, but he failed to collect a rebound and saw Anthony Edwards dominate Minnesota's scoring opportunities. Ball's playmaking role remains secure, although his efficiency and turnover issues could limit his consistency alongside Edwards. He's failed to shoot over 42 percent from the floor in three of his first four appearances this season.
