Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Hurts knee late Thursday
Naz 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 Minnesota 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.

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.

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

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Solid all-around effort Friday
Naz Reid finished with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocks across 23 minutes in Friday's 121-111 preseason win over the 76ers.Reid got the start at center since Rudy Gobert (undisclosed) didn't feature, and he made the most of the opportunity while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Gobert is penciled in as the starting center, but Reid should see plenty of minutes off the bench, which should make him valuable across the majority of fantasy formats. After all, he won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2023-24, when the 24-year-old averaged 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals across 24.2 minutes across 81 regular-season games.
