Leonard Miller News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves

Another strong line Miller accumulated 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 35 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Following his trade from Minnesota, Miller's NBA career seemingly took off. He made a total of 27 appearances for the rebuilding Bulls, posting averages of 11.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 23.1 minutes per contest. He may have earned himself a spot in the rotation for Opening Night in 2026-27 depending on what the Bulls do this offseason.

Available versus Magic Miller (hand) is available for Friday's game against Orlando.

Impact Miller popped up on the injury report due to a hand injury. However, after being listed as probable heading into the meeting with Orlando, he is now officially good to go. The 22-year-old had a 26-point, 11-rebound double-double with three assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Miller is probable for Friday's game against the Magic with a right hand sprain.

Impact The third-year forward is a late addition to the injury report but remains in line to play Friday. Miller has flashed of late, averaging 17.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.8 blocks in 28.6 minutes per tilt over his last six outings.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Erupts for 26 points Miller produced 26 points (11-14 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-108 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Miller continues to take advantage of his opportunities while the Bulls operate with a depleted frontcourt. He's started three consecutive games and has secured a double-double twice over this brief stretch. He's also been incredibly efficient on the offensive end over this three-game span, as he's converting at a rate of 63.9 percent from the field while averaging 18.7 points per appearance. Miller could remain a staple in the rotation down the stretch of the regular season, especially after Guerschon Yabusele (shoulder) picked up an injury during the second half of Thursday's clash.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Buzelis Miller will start Sunday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact With Matas Buzelis (illness) sidelined, Miller will slide into the starting lineup. As a starter this season (seven games), Miller has averaged 11.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 stocks in 28.4 minutes.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Paces bench in scoring Miller ended Friday's 136-96 loss to the Knicks with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and six rebounds over 28 minutes.

Impact Miller had a productive night in the scoring department, but his contributions had little impact on the outcome of this one. The blowout loss resulted in a few more minutes than usual for the 22-year-old, who has now logged 20-plus minutes in six of his last seven matchups. Leonard is averaging 6.7 points and 3.4 rebounds through 41 appearances on the year with five games remaining in the regular season.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Monday Leonard won't start Monday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) will return to the starting five following a one-game absence, resulting in Miller retreating to the second unit. Over his last four appearances off the bench, the 22-year-old forward has averaged 14.3 points and 6.8 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per tilt.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in start Miller racked up five points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 loss to Memphis.

Impact Miller was elevated to the starting lineup, sliding in at center for the first time this season. While the promotion was encouraging, his performance was certainly not. In fact, this was his worst performance in quite some time, having scored double digits in nine straight games prior to Saturday. Despite the lack of production, Miller remains a viable fantasy option, albeit one with a seemingly unpredictable role.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Miller will start Saturday's game against Memphis.

Impact With Nick Richards (elbow) and Guerschon Yabusele (ankle) sidelined, Miller will get the starting nod at center Saturday. As a starter this season (six games), the 22-year-old has averaged 12.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 30.5 minutes per contest.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double Miller registered 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over the Rockets.

Impact Miller continues to turn heads, despite the fact that his playing time has subsided in recent games. He has now scored double digits in seven straight games, putting up top 100 value during that time. With averages of 13.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers, he should at least be on the radar in standard leagues, although his overall upside is somewhat limited.

MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Miller won't start Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact After starting five consecutive contests, Miller will slide to the second unit in favor of Collin Sexton. Miller has averaged 7.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks in 15.4 minutes per game over his last five outings off the bench.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Sizeable role continues Miller finished Friday's 119-108 loss to the Clippers with 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

Impact Miller logged at least 30 minutes for the third straight game, continuing to put himself firmly on the standard league radar. Miller has averaged 15.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals, making him a top 80 player during that span. While there are no guarantees when it comes to playing time in Chicago, Miller is certainly worth taking a short-term flier on, just in case he earns himself a permanent role.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Impresses in start Miller chipped in 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 142-130 loss to the Lakers.

Impact With so many injuries in Chicago, Miller is making the most of his newfound minutes and is worth a long look in most fantasy formats. In 23.7 minutes per contest over his last six games, he's averaging 10.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 three-pointers on 54.2 percent shooting from the field.

MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE

Best outing of career Tuesday Miller closed Tuesday's 130-124 overtime victory over the Warriors with 17 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 38 minutes.

Impact Miller made his second start of the season Tuesday and certainly took advantage of the opportunity, setting a new career-high mark in scoring and also recording the first double-double of his career. Miller has proven he can put up solid numbers when given enough minutes. He's averaging 9.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks per game when playing more than 20 minutes, something that has happened in five of his last six appearances.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Entering starting five Miller will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Miller logged only one minute off the bench Sunday against the Kings, but he'll be in line for a much larger workload Tuesday with the Bulls missing Isaac Okoro (knee) and Collin Sexton (lower leg). Miller finished with eight points and nine rebounds in his one other start this season Thursday against Phoenix.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Miller will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Kings, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Miller made his first start of the season Thursday as the team was shorthanded, but he will return to a reserve role due to Matas Buzelis (ankle) being back in the lineup. In his last three games in a reserve role, Miller has averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 23.7 minutes per contest.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing first start of season Miller is starting Thursday's game against Phoenix.

Impact Miller has seen a significant uptick in playing time lately as the Bulls deal with several key injuries to the frontcourt, and he'll draw his first start of the campaign Thursday. The 22-year-old is averaging 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in his last three outings.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Turns heads in win Miller notched 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 120-97 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Miller saw his second straight sizable workload and made another strong impression. With so many injuries in Chicago, Miller is suddenly on the streaming radar in fantasy formats. In his last two appearances, he averaged 13.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks in 25.0 minutes.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Available vs. Detroit Miller (wrist) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Miller was recalled from the G League on Saturday and will suit up in this tough matchup against Detroit, although it's unclear just how many minutes he'll see. Miller is averaging just 5.0 minutes per game in 21 appearances off the bench this season between Minnesota and Chicago.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Saturday Miller (wrist) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Miller was recalled from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday and is likely to suit up for the parent club. He appeared in Windy City's 141-135 loss to Raptors 905 on Friday, during which he tallied 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 30 minutes. Even if he's cleared to play for Chicago on Saturday, he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Back with parent club The Bulls recalled Miller from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday.

Impact Miller will be available off the bench for the Bulls in Saturday's game against the Pistons, but the third-year forward is unlikely to be featured in the rotation. He received extended playing time for Windy City in its 141-135 loss to Raptors 905 on Friday, finishing with 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 30 minutes.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Not spotted on injury report Miller (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.

Impact Leonard looks to be in the clear for his Bulls debut Saturday. Given the unstable role he occupied during his time in Minnesota in 2025-26, it's not guaranteed the 2023 second-rounder hits the court in a notable manner against the Nuggets.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Traded to Chicago The Timberwolves traded Miller and Rob Dillignham to the Bulls in exchange for Ayo Dosunmu on Thursday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact A second-round pick back in 2023, Miller never found his footing in Minnesota with just 49 career regular-season appearances. He could get a real opportunity in Chicago down the stretch with the team pivoting towards a rebuild, but at least in the short term, he's just someone to monitor in deeper formats. He'll be questionable to debut Saturday versus Denver.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Miller (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Dallas.

Impact Miller is available off the bench Wednesday, but it's unlikely he'll take the court in a meaningful way. The forward hasn't logged double-digit minutes since the Nov. 17 victory over the Mavericks.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Miller is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas due to lower-back spasms.

Impact Miller's absence would affect Minnesota's frontcourt depth, but it wouldn't have a major impact on the rotation as a whole. The forward hasn't seen double-digit minutes since the Nov. 17 win over the Mavericks.
