Beringer could play an expanded role in 2026-27 after the Timberwolves sent Naz Reid to the Hornets as part of the LaMelo Ball trade.
After logging just 7.9 minutes per game last regular season, the 2025 first-rounder is now slotting in as Minnesota's No. 2 center behind Rudy Gobert now that Reid is out of the frontcourt mix. Beringer dominated at times during the 2025-26 G League regular season, averaging 15.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game while shooting 64.0 percent from the field.
