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

  6D 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

  11D 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.
