Naz Reid - Absent from injury report Reid (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Reid missed Monday's tilt with left calf soreness but is back in action for Wednesday's contest. He should step into his usual backup center role behind Rudy Gobert. Reid has averaged just 8.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game over his last three appearances.

Austin Rivers - Won't play Wednesday Rivers (back) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics.

Impact Rivers' absence streak will extend to five games Wednesday with back spams. His next chance to play is Friday's matchup with the Bulls.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rudy Gobert - In starting lineup Gobert (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Gobert was initially tabbed questionable Wednesday with a sprained left ankle but has received the green light ahead of the tilt. In his last six appearances, Gobert has averaged 16.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 30.7 minutes.

Timberwolves: Towns expected to return 'in the coming weeks'

MARCH 15, 2023 • Associated Press

Jaylen Nowell - Ruled out Nowell (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Nowell is slated to miss an eighth straight game due to left knee tendinitis. It's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again, but his next chance to do so will arrive Friday in Chicago.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Expected back in 'the coming weeks' The Timberwolves released an official injury update for Towns (calf) on Wednesday, noting that he's been participating in basketball activities and is "expected to return in the co...

Impact The regular season also ends in what could be described as "the coming weeks," so there's not much here to convince fantasy managers that Towns will be back and contributing meaningfully before many fantasy leagues conclude. An update Tuesday indicated he only recently began participating in 1-on-1 drills after going 1-on-0 or 2-on-0, so the big man still needs to make significant progress before stepping back on an NBA floor. Managers with a free IR spot can certainly place Towns there, but tough decisions will need to be made if dealing with multiple IR-eligible players. If the big man returns March 29 -- two weeks from this update -- he'll just have six games to potentially suit up for.

Kyle Anderson one of the best Timberwolves free agent signings ever Anderson may only be averaging 9.0 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, but his contributions to the Wolves' success have been immeasurable.

Wolves-Celtics preview: Home losing streak at Target Center four games The Wolves have not won at Target Center since early February. And Boston comes in as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference.

Jaylen Nowell - Questionable against Celtics Nowell (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Boston.

Impact Nowell is in danger of missing his eighth straight game Wednesday due to a left knee injury. Nickeil Alexander-Walker should continue to see extended minutes if Nowell is ruled out.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Austin Rivers - Iffy against Boston Rivers (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Celtics.

Impact Rivers may miss his fifth straight game Wednesday due to back spasms. If he's unable to suit up, his next opportunity will be Friday's matchup with Chicago.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Naz Reid - Questionable Wednesday Reid (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Reid missed the last game due to his calf injury, which allowed Luka Garza to get some extended run in the rotation behind Rudy Gobert. However, Gobert is also being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game due to his nagging left ankle sprain, so if both Reid and Gobert are forced to the sidelines, Garza would be on the radar as a potential streamer.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rudy Gobert - Questionable for Wednesday Gobert (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Naz Reid (left calf) is also questionable for Wednesday's game, so if both those guys are forced to the sidelines, Luka Garza could be forced into big minutes and Nathan Knight would have the opportunity for some extended run. Gobert managers will need to check back for another update closer to Wednesday's tip.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rudy Gobert - Excels while playing through injury Gobert (ankle) tallied 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 30 minutes in Monday's 136-115 win over the Hawks.

Impact Gobert's status was cloudy heading into the day while he managed a left ankle sprain, but the veteran center showed no sign of being affected by the injury while taking on a normal minutes count Monday. Though the Timberwolves may have some buyer's remorse about giving up a cache of draft picks and players to acquire Gobert from the Jazz this past summer, the 30-year-old has recently stepped up his play. Over his seven appearances since the All-Star break, Gobert is shooting 63.9 percent from the floor and is averaging 16.3 points, 10.7 boards, 2.0 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Karl-Anthony Towns - Limited to 1-on-1 work Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said Monday that Towns (calf) has recently resumed taking part in 1-on-1 drills but isn't yet cleared for full team activities, Chris Hine of th...

Impact Advancing to 1-on-1 work represents a marginal step forward for Towns from the last update Finch provided for the big man, who is now taking some resistance in drills after previously taking part in 1-on-0 or 2-on-0 drills. Towns, who has been sidelined since Nov. 28 with a severe right calf strain, still has a few more milestones to hit in his recovery program and is likely at least a week away from suiting up for the Timberwolves.
