Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Makes season debut Saturday
Rotowire
Shannon registered no counting stats across three minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Spurs.
Shannon left the bench for the first time in his career as the Timberwolves waved the white flag against the Spurs. Along with several other fringe players, Shannon got to feel what it's like on a real NBA court. However, this feeling is unlikely to last too long, given he will struggle to play meaningful minutes on most nights.
Shannon will start in Thursday's preseason finale against the Nuggets.
The Timberwolves are not only resting their starters, but they're also resting their regular reserves for this contest. Shannon will be one of the wing starters for this contest, and the rest of the starting five will feature P.J. Dozier, Rob Dillingham, Josh Minott and Luka Garza.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Drafted by Minnesota at No. 27
Rotowire
Shannon was selected by the Timberwolves with the 27th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
As a five-year college player at Illinois, Shannon comes into the league at nearly 24 years old. However, he carries with him notable accolades from last season, including first-team All-Big Ten and third-team All-American. The 6-foot-6 wing is a strong defender and a crafty scorer who can fill it up in a variety of ways, though he especially thrives in transition. As a rookie, Shannon will fight for reserve minutes with players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kyle Anderson and fellow rookie Rob Dillingham.
