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

Impact Shannon currently sits second behind Anthony Edwards at shooting guard while also providing depth at both forward spots, but Kuminga's expected place in the starting five further crowds Minnesota's wing rotation. Shannon should still have an opportunity to earn a reserve role, though he'll be competing with Ayo Dosunmu, Jaylen Clark and others for minutes behind the starters.

Drops 21 points in defeat Shannon notched 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Co...

Impact Shannon shed a questionable tag due to a head contusion to suit up Friday, and he delivered a bounce-back performance after shooting 0-for-5 from the field in Tuesday's Game 5 loss. The second-year swingman finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer while pacing the bench in points. The 25-year-old saw increased burn in the playoffs after Donte DiVincenzo ruptured his Achilles, and with the latter likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026-27 campaign, Shannon could be in line for a more sizable role depending on what moves the Timberwolves make this summer. He averaged 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds across 12.5 minutes per game in 43 regular-season outings (two starts), though Shannon certainly flashed his potential during the postseason.

Impact Shannon appeared on the injury report because of a head contusion. However, the injury won't keep him off the floor for Friday's must-win clash with the Spurs. The 25-year-old has averaged 8.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.2 steals across 25.0 minutes during this series. Shannon's presence will likely result in less work for Mike Conley and Bones Hyland.
