Conley (rest) won't play Sunday against the Pelicans.

Conley played 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Rockets, but he won't suit up Sunday. He'll be one of nine Minnesota players who won't suit up in the regular-season finale. Conley is expected to be available once the playoffs start April 18, though.

Prosper (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rockets.

Prosper has missed two straight games but could return for the finale. He's scored double-digit points in six straight games, averaging 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.2 minutes during this stretch.

Allen has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to left hamstring soreness.

Allen exited Friday's loss to the Lakers due to the hamstring issue and won't suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale. He will end the 2025-26 regular season with averages of 16.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.8 minutes per contest across 51 outings (27 starts). His next chance to play will come in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the higher-seeded team between the Clippers and Trail Blazers.

Anderson won't play Sunday against the Pelicans due to right knee injury maintenance.

Anderson is one of nine players who won't suit up for Minnesota in the final game of the regular season. The veteran forward averaged 6.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in 43 regular-season contests for the Grizzlies, Jazz and Timberwolves throughout the campaign.

Booker (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Booker will miss a second straight game due to right ankle injury management. His next chance to play will come in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the higher-seeded team between the Clippers and Trail Blazers. The star guard will finish the regular season with averages of 26.1 points, 6.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 33.5 minutes per tilt in 64 outings.

Hendricks (thumb) will not play Sunday against the Rockets.

The thumb injury will end Hendricks' season, as Sunday marks the final game of 2025-26 for the Grizzlies. The third-year forward was dealt to the Grizzlies from the Jazz mid-season. In his 26 regular-season appearances with Memphis, he averaged 10.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.2 assists and 0.8 blocks in 24.1 minutes.

Watson (hamstring) will miss Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Watson is considered week-to-week due to right hamstring tightness, so it's not surprising to see him sit out the final game of the regular season. He will finish the regular season with averages of 14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game while starting 40 of his 54 appearances. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for the start of the playoffs.

DeRozan (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Portland.

DeRozan will end the season with a third consecutive absence due to a right hamstring injury. The veteran forward will finish the 2025-26 campaign having averaged fewer than 20 points per game for the first time since 2012-2013. He will end the season with averages of 18.4 points, 4.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 31.2 minutes per game across 77 regular-season appearances.

Jerome (ankle) is out for Sunday's season finale against the Rockets.

Jerome will end the 2025-26 season having missed 11 games in a row. He didn't make his season debut until Jan. 31 and didn't play more than three consecutive games all year. Still, when he took the floor, he played well. Across his 15 appearances, the guard averaged 19.7 points, 5.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 22.6 minutes.

Randle (hand) is listed as out for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

The Timberwolves are locked into the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. As a result, Randle and the rest of the Timberwolves' starting lineup won't suit up for the final game of the regular season. Without Randle in the equation, Julian Phillips and Enrique Freeman should see more work, with at least one of those players potentially entering the starting lineup.
