Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Won't play Friday
Dosunmu isn't dealing with an injury but will sit out Friday's preseason finale against the Bulls for rest purposes, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Dosunmu won't travel with the Timberwolves but is expected to be ready to go for their regular-season opener against the Heat on Wednesday. With the 26-year-old sidelined, Terrence Shannon, Isaiah Evans and Bones Hyland could see increased playing time.

Timberwolves' Joan Beringer: Shows well in defeat
Beringer recorded 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.
Beringer made a nice impression to the coaching staff ahead of a critical second season in the league. After dominating at the G League rank in 2025-26, the 2025 first-rounder is slotting in as Minnesota's No. 2 center behind Rudy Gobert now that Reid is out of the frontcourt mix.

Timberwolves' LaMelo Ball: Hands out six dimes
Ball recorded three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and six assists across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.
Ball struggled to generate offense for himself, making just one field goal and committing three turnovers. However, he continued to facilitate for his teammates, leading Minnesota's starters with six assists despite the limited playing time. The Timberwolves will look for greater scoring efficiency from their new point guard as he develops chemistry with Anthony Edwards and the rest of the starting unit.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Quiet in loss
Gobert finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to the Pistons.
Gobert converted three of his four attempts from the field but was unusually quiet on the glass, collecting just four rebounds while failing to register a block. Minnesota struggled to contain Detroit's interior attack, though Gobert's established role as the team's defensive anchor should remain secure entering the regular season.

Timberwolves' Jonathan Kuminga: Fares well in return
Kuminga (soreness) recorded 16 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.
After missing Minnesota's previous two exhibitions due to soreness, Kuminga showed little rust in his return, missing just one field-goal attempt while connecting twice from beyond the arc. His efficient performance and 22-minute workload were positive developments as he works toward being fully ready for the regular season.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Leads Timberwolves in scoring
Edwards ended with 20 points (5-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three assists and two steals over 28 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to the Pistons.
Edwards had trouble finding the net Wednesday. However, he has been known to have occasional shooting slumps throughout his career, so his performance against Detroit shouldn't be a cause for concern. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick had his best year in 2025-26, averaging 28.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals across 35.0 minutes, though he appeared in fewer than 72 regular-season games (61) for the first time since entering the NBA.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Logs 18 minutes in preseason loss
Shannon (undisclosed) contributed five points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 18 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.
Shannon returned from a one-game absence and saw significant minutes as a reserve but struggled to make much of an impact. After averaging 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes across 43 regular-season appearances last season, the wing will look to carve out a consistent role off the bench during the 2026-27 campaign.

Timberwolves' Rocco Zikarsky: Doesn't play Wednesday
Zikarsky (undisclosed) was unavailable for Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.
Zikarsky appeared in two of Minnesota's first three preseason games but has been unavailable for the club's past two contests. His next chance to suit up will come Friday against Chicago.

Timberwolves' Enrique Freeman: Doesn't play Wednesday
Freeman (shoulder) was unavailable for Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.
Freeman exited Saturday's contest against Miami due to a right shoulder injury and has since missed two consecutive games. The forward's final opportunity to suit up during the preseason will come Friday against Chicago.

Timberwolves' Jonathan Kuminga: Starting Wednesday
Kuminga (soreness) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against Detroit.
Kuminga missed the previous two games due to general soreness but will return to the starting lineup Wednesday. The forward should see a fair amount of playing time in the first half, though his workload may be limited given the exhibition setting.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Adds 11 points off bench
Dosunmu chipped in 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block across 20 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason win over the Knicks.
After resting Saturday, Dosunmu returned to action and provided a spark off the bench with three triples. His three steals also matched a game high. The Illinois product averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 24 regular-season appearances (nine starts) with the Timberwolves last season and is positioned to be a key contributor during the 2026-27 campaign.

Timberwolves' LaMelo Ball: Dishes seven assists Monday
Ball supplied 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one block across 22 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason win over New York.
After resting Saturday, Ball returned to action and showcased his playmaking skills with a game-high seven assists, though the 25-year-old also committed a game-high five turnovers. Coming off a 2025-26 campaign with Charlotte in which he averaged 20.1 points, 7.1 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 72 regular-season appearances, Ball will look to form a dynamic backcourt duo with Anthony Edwards in Minnesota.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Drops 22 points in preseason win
McDaniels tallied 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason win over the Knicks.
McDaniels was sharp from beyond the arc, knocking down all but one of his attempts from downtown. The forward has converted four triples in back-to-back appearances, with Monday marking his first time eclipsing the 20-point mark in preseason play. McDaniels is coming off a strong 2025-26 regular season in which he averaged 14.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks across 73 games. The 26-year-old could see a slight uptick in usage this year with Julius Randle traded to the Nets.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Leading scorer in preseason win
Edwards closed with 26 points (8-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason win over the Knicks.
Edwards returned from a one-game absence for rest purposes and looked fantastic, knocking down a game-high five triples en route to finishing as the game's leading scorer. The star guard has scored in double figures in all three of his preseason appearances, though Monday marked his heaviest workload yet, surpassing the 20-minute mark while also reaching 20-plus points for the first time.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Inactive Monday
Shannon (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason game against the Knicks.
Shannon will be unavailable at Madison Square Garden after starting Saturday against the Heat. Across three preseason games, the wing is averaging 11.3 points, 3.3 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per contest. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Pistons.

Timberwolves' Jonathan Kuminga: Ruled out for Monday
Kuminga (general soreness) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Knicks, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
"[Kuminga] is dealing with a little bit of bumps and bruises that we're just being overly cautious with," said head coach Chris Finch when asked why Kuminga would miss Monday's exhibition. It sounds like there's a decent chance Kuminga will be able to get back out there for Wednesday's preseason meeting with the Pistons.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Starting Monday
McDaniels (rest) will start against the Knicks in Monday's preseason game.
McDaniels skipped Saturday's exhibition against the Heat for maintenance purposes, but he'll be back in action Monday evening. It'll be interesting to see if McDaniels can take a leap as a scorer this season with Julius Randle no longer around.
