• Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Hurts knee late Thursday

  15H ago • By RotoWire

  Reid appeared to suffer a left knee injury late in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 110-105 loss to the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports. He finished with two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes. Reid went down on the court in pain after he banged knees with the Raptors' Scottie Barnes while the two were pursuing a loose ball with 11 seconds remaining in the game. After being charged with a foul on the play, Reid checked out of the contest and was able to walk to the bench under his own power. The Timberwolves are off until Sunday in Boston, but it wouldn't be surprising if Reid was listed on the team's next injury report, which will be released Saturday.

• Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Shines off bench Tuesday

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Reid registered 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 loss to Portland. Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert weren't at their best Tuesday, but Reid delivered an impressive effort off the bench and was one of the few standout players for the Timberwolves in this 14-point loss. Reid continues to play at a high level off the bench for Minnesota, and he's reached the 15-point mark in four of his last five outings despite averaging just 24.6 minutes per game in that span. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Reid despite his bench role, as he's seeing the court enough to remain valuable across all formats.

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Reid produced 25 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 114-93 win over the Hornets. Reid's 25 points were a season-high mark, as well as his five makes from beyond the arc. Despite coming off the bench, Reid has seen healthy workloads for the Timberwolves, and his production has been strong. Through seven games, he's posting averages of 15.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers.

• Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Just misses double-double Tuesday

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Reid accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-114 loss to the Mavericks. The 25-year-old big came up just short of his second double-double in four games to begin the season while recording his first block of 2024-25. Reid hasn't seen a big jump in his workload with Julius Randle replacing Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota's starting lineup, but Reid's been busier on the glass, averaging 7.5 rebounds through four games after setting a career high last season with 5.2 boards a contest.

• Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Logs 19 points in reserve role

  29D ago • By RotoWire

  Reid accumulated 19 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Thursday's 117-115 win over the Kings. Reid is expected to relieve Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert on a nightly basis. However, Reid actually shared the floor with both big men briefly in the fourth quarter of Thursday's win. The odd combo of Mike Conley, Donte DiVincenzo, Reid, Randle and Gobert isn't expected to happen often, but the quintet provided a much-needed boost that helped Minnesota regain the lead. Reid's role as a backup is assured, but we may see more of the oversized grouping moving forward.
