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.

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.

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.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Monday Miller (back) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Miller was added to the injury report due to lower-back spasms, but he'll be available if called upon Monday. He isn't currently part of the current rotation, appearing in six games since Jan. 1.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Miller is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to lower-back spasms.

Impact Miller hasn't seen double-digit minutes since Jan. 4. As a result, his potential absence shouldn't have a noticeable impact on the Minnesota frontcourt rotation Monday.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues Miller amassed one rebound and one assist across six minutes during Saturday's 126-123 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Miller played a limited role off the bench, a trend that has become all too common when it comes to his opportunities in the NBA. In 17 appearances this season, Miller has logged double-digit minutes only once, averaging 2.6 points in 5.1 minutes per game.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues Miller closed with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in eight minutes during Wednesday's 126-102 loss to Atlanta.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Bench role vs. Portland Miller will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Miller saw his name listed in the starting lineup while the majority of the Minnesota starters received the night off. He took full advantage of the opportunity, turning in an efficient shooting performance to lead his team in scoring. Despite a strong showing, the 21-year-old appears to be on the outside looking in for a spot in the rotation, at least to begin the regular season.

Getting preseason start Miller is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the 76ers.

Impact The Timberwolves are resting their regulars in this final preseason tune-up, so Miller will get the chance to play extended minutes. This will be the final opportunity for the Canadian forward to show he deserves a steady role off the bench in a crowded frontcourt.

Impact Miller was one of seven Timberwolves players to reach double figures Monday, joining Joan Beringer in posting a double-double in the frontcourt.

Surprisingly cleared to play Miller (finger) will be available for Monday's exhibition against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.

Impact Miller suffered a right fifth finger laceration at the end of September and was expected to miss at least two weeks before being evaluated again.

Leonard has appeared in only 30 regular-season NBA games since being drafted in 2023, but he's been stellar at the G League level.

OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Miller recorded an efficient double-double, shooting 50 percent from the floor while also finishing with a game-high 11 boards.

He wasn't able to carry that momentum into the finals, but Miller played a crucial role in the G League making it their in the first place. The 2023 second-round pick has seen sparse playing time with the Timberwolves, but he could see more minutes off the bench following the All-Star break.
