Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Returns from G League
Rotowire
The Timberwolves recalled Shannon from the G League Iowa Wolves on Saturday.
Shannon will rejoin the parent club after playing two games in the G League. While he'll suit up for Sunday's game in Boston, Shannon isn't likely to be included in the rotation.
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.
