Jaden McDaniels - Questionable against Memphis McDaniels (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.
Impact McDaniels has missed the last two games due to illness. Austin Rivers has started the last two games in the third-year forward's absence. McDaniels will have plenty of time to recover for Saturday's game against the Thunder if he's unavailable Wednesday.

Towns out multiple weeks for Timberwolves with calf strain
Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns will miss multiple weeks with a strained right calf muscle that occurred in the team’s most recent gameNOVEMBER 29, 2022 • Associated Press
Karl-Anthony Towns - Out 4-to-6 weeks with strained calf Towns is expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks after suffering a right calf strain in Monday's loss to the Wizards, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Towns exited in the third quarter of Monday's game and needed to be helped off the floor after suffering the injury, as he was unable to put weight on his leg. Though Towns appears to have avoided a season-ending injury and could return as soon as late December, Wojnarowski's report suggests sometime in January is a more realistic target for the big man. Since Towns doesn't play center as much these days with Rudy Gobert around, it's unclear how much reserve center Naz Reid will benefit. Instead, Kyle Anderson and Taurean Prince (shoulder) could be likelier candidates to see increased run, and Jaylen Nowell may be a fringe beneficiary. The Minnesota rotation is worth monitoring, and fantasy managers with Sunday waiver claims will get to see two games -- Wednesday against the Grizzlies and Saturday against the Thunder -- before making any decisions.

Rui Hachimura - Won't play Wednesday The Wizards announced that Hachimura won't play Wednesday versus the Nets after he underwent an MRI on Monday revealed he's dealing with a bone bruise in his right ankle.
Impact Hachimura will miss at least a sixth consecutive game because of the injury, which had previously been classified as a sore right ankle. Washington announced that Hachimura's availability beyond Wednesday will be determined by his "clinical evolution," making his timeline for a return fairly open-ended. Anthony Gill should retain a spot in the rotation as the backup to starting power forward Kyle Kuzma while Hachimura is sidelined.
