Retreating to second unit Shannon will come off the bench in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Heat.

Starting preseason finale Shannon will start Friday's preseason meeting with the Bulls.

Logs 18 minutes in preseason loss Shannon (undisclosed) contributed five points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 18 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.
Impact Shannon returned from a one-game absence and saw significant minutes as a reserve but struggled to make much of an impact. After averaging 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes across 43 regular-season appearances last season, the wing will look to carve out a consistent role off the bench during the 2026-27 campaign.
OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive Monday Shannon (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Knicks.
Impact Shannon will be unavailable at Madison Square Garden after starting Saturday against the Heat. Across three preseason games, the wing is averaging 11.3 points, 3.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per contest.

Scores 19 points in 22 minutes Shannon recorded 19 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists in 22 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 preseason win over the Heat.
Impact The Timberwolves rested their projected starting five and Ayo Dosunmu on Saturday, opening the door for Shannon to enter the first unit. The 26-year-old swingman delivered a productive performance, finishing as Minnesota's third-leading scorer while tying for second on the team in assists. He's in line for a steady role off the bench to begin the regular season.

Fresh competition for minutes Shannon faces additional competition for playing time following Minnesota's agreement with Jonathan Kuminga.
