Terrence Shannon Jr. is begging the Timberwolves to draft his replacement Terrence Shannon Jr. got a rare start on Saturday, and he was invisible for much of the game.

MARCH 29 • DUNKINGWITHWOLVES.COM

Logs 25 minutes in spot start Shannon accumulated eight points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Saturday's 109-87 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Shannon moved into the starting lineup, with Minnesota going deep into its rotation due to a number of injuries to its regular core. Given that Shannon had barely been in the rotation during the two previous games, there is no reason to think this move will stick, assuming the team can start to get healthy sooner rather than later.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Shannon is in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Pistons on Saturday.

Impact Shannon has played just three minutes over the Timberwolves' last two games, but the second-year pro will draw the start Saturday due to the absences of Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (knee). It's just the second start of Shannon's NBA career, with his last taking place Feb. 28, 2025 against the Jazz, when he played 28 minutes and finished with 17 points, five assists, four rebounds and one block.

Moves back outside of rotation Shannon (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Timberwolves' 127-117 win over the Warriors.

Impact Shannon had appeared in each of Minnesota's previous four contests and averaged 7.8 minutes per game, but his spot in the rotation disappeared Friday while the Timberwolves welcomed Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) back from a one-game absence. Now at full health, the Timberwolves are likely to run out a nine-man rotation in most games, but Shannon appears to be the next man up to join the second unit if Minnesota is missing a player at any point.

Drops out of rotation Shannon (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 117-110 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact After rejoining the Timberwolves following the All-Star break after a prolonged absence due to a left foot strain, Shannon had cracked the rotation in three of the Timberwolves' first four games of the second half. However, after being limited to just 10 total minutes over the latter two appearances, Shannon has since failed to see any run in two straight contests. Shannon's path to earning playing time has only become more blocked moving forward after new signee Kyle Anderson (14 minutes) entered the rotation Tuesday in his team debut.

Kyle Anderson's arrival spells doom for struggling Timberwolves wing Kyle Anderson's arrival could displace Terrence Shannon Jr. from the rotation.

Sees 18 minutes Shannon contributed six points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) over 18 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 loss to the 76ers.

However, it remains to be seen how many opportunities he'll receive given his current spot in the rotation. Shannon is averaging 4.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 12.8 minutes through 22 regular-season games in 2025-26.
