Taurean Prince News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Impact Prince became a hot pickup off the waiver wire after he opened February with back-to-back 23-point outings, but the run of elevated production quickly came to an end when he sprained his left ankle early in the Timberwolves' next game Feb. 6. The veteran forward's spot in the rotation still looks to be secure, but he's unlikely to notch any meaningful uptick in playing time or statistical output while all of the Timberwolves' regular starters are healthy.

DeRozan scores 35, Bulls pull away to beat Wolves 134-122

DeMar DeRozan scored 35 points, Nikola Vucevic added 26 points and the Chicago Bulls used a big fourth quarter to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 134-122

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • Associated Press

Available at Chicago Prince (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup against the Bulls, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact Prince's production has been inconsistent lately, but he's flashed some upside here and there. Over the past seven games, he's averaged 12.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 assists in 18.6 minutes.

Questionable at Chicago Prince (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Prince has dealt with a sprained ankle over the past few days, but it hasn't prevented him from playing. Over the past 11 games, he's averaged 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists in 19.4 minutes.

Will play Wednesday Prince (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Kings, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.

Impact Prince was originally questionable due to an ankle injury but he will be able to play through it. The 27-year-old has scored in double figures in five of his last six games and should continue to see plenty of scoring opportunities as long as his ankle doesn't affect him too much.

Questionable against Kings Prince (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Prince was available for Tuesday's win over Sacramento and totaled 11 points, two rebounds, two assists and four steals in 19 minutes. The Timberwolves have several players listed as questionable ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set, so if Prince is available, his role will likely depend on the status of his teammates who are dealing with injuries.

Racks up four steals off bench Prince (ankle) tallied 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four steals, two rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes Tuesday in the Timberwolves' 134-114 win over the Kings.

Impact Prince's status for the game was up in the air heading into the day while he contended with an ankle injury, but the veteran forward was able to play through the issue and turned in a serviceable performance off the bench. Aside from the Timberwolves' previous game Sunday against the Pistons in which he exited after two minutes due to the injury, Prince has hit double figures in the scoring column in five straight games. He looks like he'll remain a key piece on Minnesota's second unit moving forward.

Cleared to play Prince (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Kings, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact The Wolves will be essentially at full strength Tuesday. So, even though Prince is healthy, it's possible he won't be a meaningful part of the rotation.

Status in question Tuesday Prince (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Prince suffered the ankle sprain during Sunday's matchup with the Pistons, leaving his availability up in the air for Tuesday. D'Angelo Russell (shin), Patrick Beverley (ankle), Josh Okogie (ankle) and Naz Reid (knee) are also questionable for Minnesota.

Towns scores 24 points, Timberwolves beat Pistons 118-105

Karl-Anthony Towns had 24 points and 12 rebounds and the Minnesota Timberwolves got a big boost from their bench in a 118-105 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday

FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • Associated Press

Won't return to Sunday's contest Prince won't return to Sunday's contest against the Pistons due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Prince went straight to the locker room after initially suffering the injury, but he quickly returned to the Timberwolves' bench, which suggested he may come back into the game. However, he's now been officially ruled out. In his absence, Jaden McDaniels will likely see an increased role off the bench.

Hits for 23 off bench Prince scored 23 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding six rebounds, an assist and a steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 128-117 win over the Pistons.

Impact The 27-year-old forward tied his season high in scoring, a mark he set only Tuesday against the Nuggets. Prince has been seeing more court time lately and his production has picked up as a result -- he's scored in double digits in four straight games and five of the last seven, a big step up from the 5.5 points a game he'd been averaging coming into Thursday's contest.

Edwards, Towns lead Timberwolves past Pistons, 128-117

Anthony Edwards scored 25 points, and Karl-Anthony Towns added 21 points and 14 rebounds and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Detroit Pistons 128-117 on Thursday night

FEBRUARY 4, 2022 • Associated Press

Goes off for season-high 23 points Prince contributed 23 points (8-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 130-115 victory over Denver.

Impact Prince took full advantage of a disappointing Nuggets team, logging a season-high 23 points in just 24 minutes. Despite a consistent role for his new team, Prince has been unable to contribute on a regular basis, hitting double digits in the scoring column just seven times thus far this season. With that being said, he has now hit that mark in three consecutive games and is on the radar as a deep-league consideration.
