Naz Reid Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Grizzlies vs Timberwolves game on tomorrow with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 9, 2025
Woeful shooting display off bench
Reid ended with six points (2-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt), nine rebounds and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Despite Rudy Gobert's ejection in the third quarter, Reid couldn't find his shooting touch Monday and failed to capitalize on the extra minutes. Even so, Reid has been very effective overall as of late, having averaged 15.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.8 minutes per contest over his last 13 games.
Dec 7, 2025
Just misses double-double Saturday
Reid recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 109-106 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The five three-pointers tied his season high, and Reid just missed recording his fourth double-double of 2025-26, and first since Nov. 17. The 26-year-old center has scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 15.4 points, 6.1 boards, 3.3 assists, 3.0 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 28.3 minutes a contest over that stretch as one of the key pieces of the Timberwolves' second unit.
Dec 5, 2025
Stuffs stat sheet in win
Reid amassed 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 victory over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Reid played a season-high 33 minutes during Minnesota's win over the Pelicans on Thursday and dished out a team-high six assists. The six assists matched a season high for the 26-year-old center, and he's now done it in back-to-back games while scoring in double figures in 10 of the past 11 games. Reid is averaging 16.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.8 threes, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 27.5 minutes during that time.
Dec 3, 2025
Productive stretch continues
Reid finished with 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime victory over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Reid's fantasy upside may be capped by Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, but he's fought off a slow start to his season since the start of November for strong results. Reid has averaged 14.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per contest in his last 16 games.
Nov 25, 2025
Goes for 15 and seven boards
Reid closed with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Reid led all bench scorers once again, but did not shoot well from beyond the arc. Reid will continue to operate as one of the team's primary contributors within the second unit, and he averages 13.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.0 threes across 24.4 minutes on the season.
Nov 19, 2025
Paces bench in win
Reid recorded 28 points (11-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 27 minutes in Wednesday's 120-109 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Reid knocked down a game- and season-high five three-pointers en route to his second consecutive contest with at least 22 points. The backup big man has scored in double figures in each of his last four appearances, shooting 48.3 percent from beyond the arc during that span. The 26-year-old also tallied two steals in the win, marking his third outing with multiple swipes over his last six.
Nov 17, 2025
Double-doubles in blowout win
Reid notched 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes in Monday's 120-96 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
After scoring an efficient 19 points in Saturday's loss to Denver, Reid posted a season-high 22 points Monday. The big man also had another productive performance from beyond the arc and has shot 7-for-13 from three-point range in his last two outings. He also grabbed a game-best 12 rebounds against Dallas en route to his third double-double in 14 regular-season appearances.
Nov 15, 2025
Double-doubles, fills stat sheet
Reid closed with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 124-110 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Reid made the most of his minutes off the bench in this win over the Kings and posted his second double-double of the season -- and first since Oct. 26. Reid's numbers have fluctuated considerably on a game-to-game basis, and the fact that Rudy Gobert remains healthy has limited his numbers considerably. He still has some upside, but he hasn't been at the level he's played at over the past two seasons.
Nov 11, 2025
Held to seven points
Reid logged seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 120-113 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
For the third time in his last four games, Reid was held to single-digit points off the bench. Compared to his career year in 2024-25, Reid's scoring average and shooting percentages are way down, and he's seeing a few less minutes per contest as a result. He's due for some positive regression with his shooting, but his fantasy managers are likely frustrated at this point.
Nov 3, 2025
Drops 21 points off bench
Reid amassed 21 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 125-109 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Reid turned in another strong night as a shooter and has totaled 39 points over his last two matchups. He's been locked in from downtown over this stretch, going 7-for-11 from deep. Reid has posted 16 or more points in four of his last five games.
Nov 1, 2025
Instant offense off bench
Reid posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Saturday's 122-105 win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Reid matched a season high in points, providing a spark off the bench. The 26-year-old big man has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option so far, scoring six points or fewer in three of his first six games while putting up at least 16 points in the other three. Reid's upside is likely to remain capped while Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert are healthy, with Reid averaging 11.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 22.8 minutes per game.
Oct 28, 2025
Leads bench crew against Denver
Reid registered 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's 127-114 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old big was the only member of Minnesota's second unit to score in double digits, with the rest of the bench combining for just 17 points. Reid's 18 points were also an individual season high, and through four contests he's averaging 11.3 points, 6.3 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 threes while playing just 23.3 minutes a game, a small but noticeable drop in workload from last season's 27.5 minutes.
Oct 27, 2025
Double-doubles in 23 minutes
Reid ended Sunday's 114-110 victory over the Pacers with 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid had struggled mightily over Minnesota's first two games, turning in two straight, single-digit scoring stinkers, but he had an easier time asserting himself in the offense Sunday evening with Anthony Edwards (hamstring) exiting early. It's a quick turnaround for Minnesota's next game Monday, so Edwards might need to skip their matchup with the Nuggets, which could help Reid build on his momentum from Sunday's outing.
Oct 23, 2025
Modest start to campaign
Reid totaled six points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 victory over Portland.
ANALYSIS
Reid is coming off a career-high season, but he dropped a dud during Opening Night of 2025-26. As long as Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle are healthy, there's not a ton of frontcourt usage to go around. However, Reid has always found a way to be productive, averaging at least 10 points, four rebounds and 1.4 stocks per game in five straight campaigns.
Oct 21, 2025
Will play season opener
Reid (rest) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Reid was among the many notable players who were held out of the preseason finale for rest purposes. He didn't play much during the preseason, but he appears ready to go for the first regular-season matchup.
Oct 17, 2025
Ruled out Friday
Reid (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Reid will miss his third consecutive preseason game, though he's expected to be ready for the team's regular-season opener against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Leonard Miller and Joan Beringer will likely see increased minutes with Reid sidelined.
Oct 16, 2025
Won't play Thursday
Reid (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's exhibition game against the Bulls, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid will rest again Thursday, but he should be back for Friday's preseason finale in Philadelphia. With Reid watching from the sidelines, expect more minutes for Joe Ingles and Leonard Miller.
Oct 13, 2025
Out Monday
Reid (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's exhibition against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions.
ANALYSIS
Reid, along with several other Timberwolves regulars, will rest Monday after appearing in the team's first three preseason games. The big man's next opportunity to suit up comes Thursday against the Bulls.
Oct 9, 2025
Bench role Thursday
Reid will come off the bench during Thursday's preseason game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
After starting the last two preseason games, Reid will retreat to the bench with Jaden McDaniels in the first unit. Reid finished with 10 points, three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 16 minutes as a starter during the team's 135-134 loss to the Pacers.
Oct 7, 2025
Starting again Tuesday
Reid will start Tuesday's preseason game against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
With Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards resting, Reid started the Timberwolves' preseason opener against the Nuggets on Saturday and scored 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt) in 12 minutes. Edwards and Randle will be back in action Tuesday, but Jaden McDaniels is out, allowing Reid to draw another start.
Oct 4, 2025
Getting starting nod Saturday
Reid is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves will be resting some of their regular starters, and with Julius Randle (rest) among those out, Reid will get the nod at power forward. Reid is no stranger to being part of the first unit, though. He averaged 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in 17 regular-season starts during the 2024-25 campaign.
Jun 27, 2025
To sign five-year deal with Minny
The Timberwolves will sign Reid to a new five-year deal, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid is coming off another stellar season for Minnesota, as his numbers improved across the board during the 2024-25 campaign. The LSU product missed only two games during the regular season and put up career-high totals in points (14.2), rebounds (6.0) and assists (2.3) per game while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 37.9 percent from deep.
Apr 3, 2025
Available for Thursday
Reid is available to play Thursday against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
After serving his one-game suspension, Reid no longer appears on the injury report for Minnesota. Over Reid's last four appearances, he's averaged 11.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 three-pointers.
Apr 1, 2025
Suspended for one game
The league has suspended Reid for one game for his involvement in an on-court altercation with the Pistons on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
As a result of the one-game suspension, Reid will not be available to play in Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. The Timberwolves will be forced to lean on Jaden McDaniels and Luka Garza to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt, along with starters Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert in Denver.
Mar 30, 2025
Ejected from Sunday's game
Reid was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Pistons, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid was one of five players ejected from Sunday's game that stemmed from a brawl that started when he took exception to begin fouled by Ron Holland on a drive to the basket. After the dust settled, Reid and Holland were joined by Isaiah Stewart, Marcus Sasser and Donte DiVincenzo in being removed for the rest of Sunday's contest. Reid will end the night with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes.
Mar 24, 2025
Leads from bench in 20-point outing
Reid posted 20 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes in Monday's 119-103 loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Reid stepped up off the Timberwolves bench Monday like he has all season long, leading all players in scoring and threes made en route to a 20-point showcase in just 26 minutes. Reid has recorded at least 20 points in 19 outings this season, including in two of his last four contests. He has connected on three or more threes in three of his last four appearances.
Mar 10, 2025
Pops for 20 off bench
Reid racked up 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 27 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 141-124 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
With Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle in the starting lineup together for the first time since Jan. 30, Reid shifted back to the second unit but still stayed productive and saw a hefty workload. The 25-year-old big averaged 26.9 minutes a contest in January prior to moving into the starting five, averaging 16.4 points, 5.4 boards, 3.0 threes, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks that month, and that's a reasonable expectation for Reid's production once Gobert gets his legs back under him.
Mar 9, 2025
Shifting to bench Sunday
Reid is not in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Spurs on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been in the Timberwolves' starting lineup since Feb. 1 due to injuries to Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert (back). Reid will come off the bench Sunday with Gobert and Randle both available, but Reid has averaged 25.5 minutes per game as a reserve this season and should still bring plenty of fantasy value.
Mar 8, 2025
Stuffs stat sheet Friday
Reid racked up 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Friday's 106-104 victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been doing an excellent job since being promoted to the starting lineup, first to replace Julius Randle and now stepping up in place of Rudy Gobert (back). The big man has surpassed the 20-point mark in seven of his last 11 outings, averaging 18.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest over that stretch. There's uncertainty regarding when Gobert might return to the floor, so expect Reid to remain in a starting role until the Frenchman is ready to return.
Mar 5, 2025
Hits for team-high 23 in win
Reid accumulated 23 points (9-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 126-112 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old led the Timberwolves in scoring as he made his 15th straight start while Rudy Gobert (back) remains sidelined. Reid has been very productive while in the starting five, scoring more than 20 points in 10 of those contests and delivering seven double-doubles while averaging 18.9 points, 9.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.8 threes, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals.
Mar 1, 2025
Strong double-double vs. Utah
Reid amassed 27 points (10-25 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 41 minutes during Friday's 117-116 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Reid led the Timberwolves in points, rebounds and steals Friday, and he tied a season high with six three-pointers. It was a great bounceback performance for Reid after he went 1-for-10 from the field against the Lakers on Thursday, but his efforts weren't enough to get the Timberwolves back in the win column. He'll look to help Minnesota snap out of its two-game losing streak Sunday against Phoenix.
Feb 28, 2025
Lackluster shooting in loss
Reid recorded three points (1-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 111-102 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid delivered an abysmal performance from the field, recording single-digit points for the 13th matchup this season. The big man also failed to hit a three-pointer for just the eighth time during the 2024-25 campaign. On the bright side, Reid logged at least 10 rebounds for the seventh time across his last 10 outings, and he has reached double-digit rebounds in 10 outings this season.
Feb 25, 2025
Stays hot in February
Reid logged 22 points (7-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists across 41 minutes during Monday's 131-128 overtime win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Rudy Gobert (back) has missed four straight games while Julius Randle (groin) has sat out the entire month of February, leaving Reid to hold down the fort in Minnesota's frontcourt. The 25-year-old has thrived with the added usage, scoring in double digits in 10 straight contests while averaging 21.5 points, 9.7 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.7 blocks in 37.1 minutes. Both Randle and Gobert seem close to returning, but until they are actually back on the court, Reid figures to stay productive.
Feb 24, 2025
Returns Monday
Reid (ankle) returned to Monday's game against the Thunder with 7:11 remaining in the fourth quarter, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid sustained an apparent right ankle injury during the third quarter, though he has since checked back in. The big man should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.
Feb 24, 2025
Heads to locker room Monday
Reid exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent right ankle injury in the third quarter of Monday's matchup against the Thunder, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid tripped and stayed on the floor for an extended period, grabbing at his right ankle before heading off to the locker room. If the big man is unable to return, Luka Garza and Leonard Miller could see a bump in minutes the rest of the way.
Feb 24, 2025
Strong performance in loss
Reid had 22 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
With Rudy Gobert missing his third straight game with back spasms, Reid drew another start and made the most of it. He's been on an absolute tear over his last three games, averaging 23.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers and 2.7 blocks on 50.0 percent shooting from the field.
Feb 22, 2025
Stays hot in Friday's loss
Reid closed with 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 121-115 loss to Houston.
ANALYSIS
Making his ninth straight start in the absence of Julius Randle (groin), Reid also benefitted from Rudy Gobert (back) needing a little more rest coming out of the All-Star break. The three blocks tied Reid's season high, and he's scored more than 20 points in six of the last eight games, averaging 21.4 points, 9.4 boards, 3.9 assists, 2.9 threes, 1.6 blocks and 0.8 steals in 36.3 minutes a contest. Once Randle and Gobert are both healthy, Reid's usage and production will see a steep drop, but the 25-year-old big should remain in the starting five if only one of the veterans is cleared to return for Sunday and Monday's home-and-home set against the Thunder.
Feb 14, 2025
Leads team to upset win
Reid racked up a game-high 27 points (11-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 38 minutes during Thursday's 116-101 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
With Rudy Gobert (back) and Julius Randle (thigh) both unavailable, Reid stepped up and led all scorers on the night while setting new season highs in boards and assists. The 25-year-old big has started eight straight games in place of Randle, and over the last seven he's averaged 21.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 3.0 threes and 1.4 blocks.
Feb 13, 2025
Posts double-double
Reid closed Wednesday's 103-101 loss to the Bucks with 22 points (7-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves had to settle for a two-point loss in this tight contest, but Reid still managed to deliver an impressive stat line as he continues to fill a starting role due to the absence of Julius Randle (thigh). Reid has three double-doubles over his last five appearances and is averaging 18.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game since being promoted to a starting nod.
Feb 7, 2025
Fills stat sheet Thursday
Reid supplied 15 points (6-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 127-114 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Reid was outstanding on both ends of the floor Thursday, and even though his shooting line wasn't particularly efficient, fantasy managers will gladly overlook that as long as he continues to fill the stat sheet as he did in this win. The big man has been playing a larger role with Julius Randle (thigh) sidelined, and he's averaging 18.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 blocks per game over his previous four games since being promoted to a starting role.
Feb 3, 2025
Erupts for 30-point night
Reid totaled 30 points (12-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 40 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Reid led the T-Wolves in scoring by catching fire from beyond the arc. He buried a team-high five treys and produced on the defensive end, swatting away a pair of shots after being held without a block in his previous three appearances. Reid wouldn't typically see this kind of shot volume with a healthy squad, but expect the 25-year-old to continue to see more opportunities until Julius Randle (groin) is cleared to return.
Feb 3, 2025
Good to go Monday
Reid (finger) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The big man will return to action without missing a game after sustaining a right finger sprain during Friday's loss to Washington. With Julius Randle (groin) on the shelf, Reid will likely remain in the starting five against Sacramento. Over his last five outings (one start), the 25-year-old has averaged 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.8 minutes per contest.
Feb 3, 2025
Expected to play Monday
Head coach Chris Finch said he expects Reid (finger) to play against the Kings on Monday, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid sprained his right finger during the Timberwolves' 105-103 loss to the Wizards on Saturday. His availability for Minnesota is crucial as Julius Randle is set to miss multiple games due to a right groin strain. Since the beginning of January, Reid has averaged 15.6 points on 52.9 percent shooting (including 55.8 percent from three on 5.4 3PA/G), 5.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks over 26.5 minutes per game. Reid should have a good chance at increasing those numbers for as long as he's in the Timberwolves' starting lineup due to Randle's injury.
Feb 2, 2025
Questionable against Sacramento
Reid (finger) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid left Saturday's game against the Wizards early due to a right finger sprain that now has his status for Monday's game in question. If he is unable to go, most of his minutes figure to be absorbed by the starting lineup, while Luka Garza could see a slight uptick in action.
Feb 1, 2025
Won't return Saturday
Reid has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Wizards due to a right finger sprain.
ANALYSIS
Reid, who got the start Saturday due to the absence of Julius Randle (groin), injured his right finger while setting a screen for Mike Conley early in the third quarter. Further testing following the game will determine the severity of Reid's injury and his status for Monday's game against the Kings. Jaylen Clark entered the game for Reid and should see a significant increase in playing time for the rest of the second half.
Feb 1, 2025
Exits game after injuring hand
Reid (hand) went to the locker room in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Wizards, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid appeared to injure his right hand while setting a screen for Mike Conley early in the third quarter. Jaylen Clark and Joe Ingles should see an uptick in playing time for as long as Reid is out of the game.
Feb 1, 2025
Starting Saturday vs. Washington
Reid will be in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Wizards on Saturday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Chris Finch told reporters Saturday that he expects the Timberwolves to be without Julius Randle "for the near future" due to a right groin strain that he suffered in Thursday's 138-113 win over the Jazz. Reid will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday and will likely remain in the Timberwolves' starting five for as long as Randle is sidelined. Reid averaged 16.1 points on 54.4 percent shooting (including 57.5 percent from three on 5.3 3PA/G), 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals over 26.9 minutes per game in January.
Jan 30, 2025
Cleared to play against Utah
Reid (illness) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Reid missed a game for the first time this season Wednesday due to an illness but will be available for Thursday's matchup against the Jazz. The talented and versatile big man is averaging a career-high 13.6 points to go along with 5.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists this season for the Timberwolves.
Jan 29, 2025
Out with illness
Reid (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid will miss his first game of the season Wednesday, with the veteran big man battling an illness. The Timberwolves will likely lean on Julius Randle, Luka Garza and Leonard Miller to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt in his absence.
Jan 29, 2025
Iffy due to illness
Reid (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
There is apparently a bug going around the locker room, as Rob Dillingham is also questionable with an illness. If Reid is unavailable for the first leg of this back-to-back set, Minnesota is likely to use a committee approach to soak up his minutes.
Jan 27, 2025
Returns Monday vs. Atlanta
Reid (shoulder) returned to Monday's game against Atlanta with 3:22 remaining in the fourth quarter, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid exited to the locker room with 7:15 remaining in the final quarter due to an apparent shoulder injury. However, the big man checked back in less than four minutes later and should be good to go the rest of the way.
Jan 27, 2025
Exits to locker room vs. Atlanta
Reid exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent shoulder injury in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Hawks, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid checked out with 7:15 remaining in the fourth, grabbing at his shoulder and immediately heading back to the locker room. The big man can be considered questionable to return in the closing minutes of the contest.

Dazzles with 29-point display
Reid totaled 29 points (11-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Monday's 108-106 loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Reid went through some ups-and-downs in December, but the big man has turned things around in January and has been playing at a high level of late. He's on a solid stretch of nine straight appearances with double-digit points, a span in which he's averaging 17.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while shooting an identical 53.6 percent from the floor and three-point range.
Jan 18, 2025
Pops for 23 off bench
Reid provided 23 points (8-11 FG, 6-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-99 victory over New York.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old center continued his solid recent form, scoring at least 12 points for the seventh straight game -- although Friday was the first time during that span he produced 20 or more. Reid is averaging 16.6 points, 6.7 boards, 3.0 threes, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.4 minutes a contest during his hot streak while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and a blistering 55.3 percent from long distance.
Jan 9, 2025
Leads bench once again in win
Reid finished with 16 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block over 23 minutes in Thursday's 104-89 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Reid continues to be the top producer off the Timberwolves bench this season, doing so again in Thursday's contest while leading all bench players in scoring to go along with team-high-tying marks in steals and blocks in a winning effort. Reid has scored 15 or more points in 16 contests this season, doing so in three of his last five appearances.
Jan 8, 2025
Posts double-double
Reid notched 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 104-97 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Despite playing off the bench, Reid had a strong showing and recorded his first double-double since Oct. 24. His overall numbers have decreased compared to the 2023-24 season, and while he remains a reliable option in fantasy due to his heavy workload and usage rate off the bench, he's simply not producing on the same rate he was doing it at this stage last season.
Jan 2, 2025
Reaches 20 points off bench in loss
Reid notched 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-115 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Reid provided a needed spark off the Timberwolves bench in Thursday's outing, leading all second unit players in threes made and scoring while ending as one of two Minnesota players with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Reid has scored 20 or more points in four contests this season, including in two of his last six contests. Reid also matched his second-highest three-point total of the year, connecting on at least four threes in six games.
Jan 1, 2025
Fills stat sheet Tuesday
Reid produced 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 113-105 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid had a solid showing off the bench for the Timberwolves in this one, ending just two rebounds away from a double-double while tying his season-high mark in blocks. Reid has been playing at a high level of late and has scored in double digits in five of his last six games, averaging 14.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game in that span.
Dec 23, 2024
Scores team-high 23 points
Reid accumulated 23 points (10-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 117-104 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Despite a trip to the locker room due to an apparent ankle injury, Reid was one of very few bright spots for the Timberwolves, leading the team with 23 points. It's been an underwhelming season for Reid, failing to live up to expectations after a breakout campaign during the 2023-24 season. Perhaps this performance can turn things around for Reid, something the Timberwolves would welcome with open arms.
Dec 23, 2024
Returns Monday
Reid (ankle) returned to Monday's game against the Hawks with 6:37 remaining in the third quarter, per the broadcast.
ANALYSIS
Reid went back to the locker room after appearing to injure his ankle in the second quarter. However, the big man should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way.
Dec 23, 2024
Leaves game due to ankle injury
Reid went to the locker room in the second quarter of Monday's game against the Hawks due to an ankle injury, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid went back to the locker room after having his ankle evaluated by trainers on the sidelines. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Josh Minott are candidates to see increased playing time off the Timberwolves' bench for as long as Reid is sidelined.
Dec 16, 2024
Continues to struggle
Reid chipped in three points (1-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reid has now been held to single-digit points in seven of his last 11 games. During that stretch, he's been outside the top-150 in nine-category formats, posting averages of 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers on 34.0 percent shooting from the field. With solid peripheral stats keeping him afloat, his fantasy managers will need to patiently wait for him to break out of his slump.
Dec 7, 2024
Fills stat sheet off bench Friday
Reid provided nine points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 107-90 win over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Anthony Edwards was the undisputed star for the Wolves in this matchup, but Reid delivered an impressive stat line and certainly rewarded fantasy managers who have stood by him amid a subpar start to the season. Reid has scored in double digits just once in his last five outings and only has one double-double all season long, but he'll remain valuable in fantasy as long as he can continue to rack up stats across the board. He's averaging 8.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.0 blocks per game in his last five contests.
Dec 3, 2024
Productive across board
Reid closed Monday's 109-80 win over the Lakers with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After a pair of duds in which he scored a combined 15 points in two previous outings, Reid found his stride Monday evening. For the most part, he's had a solid season for the Timberwolves as the primary attacking option off the bench. Through 20 regular-season appearances, he's averaging 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 three-pointers.
Nov 26, 2024
Improved performance despite loss
Reid ended Tuesday's 117-111 overtime loss to the Rockets with 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 27 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid got back on track despite the loss, scoring 19 points, the most he has scored in the past two weeks. Having scored a total of just seven points across the two previous games, it was great to see Reid doing what he does best. The Timberwolves have now lost six of their past eight games and have to back up Wednesday when they face the Kings.
Nov 25, 2024
Struggles in loss
Reid finished Sunday's 107-105 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid was able to play through a left knee issue that he picked up Thursday against Toronto, but that could explain why he wasn't able to find much success against Boston. He's now had two duds in a row, but he's still having a solid season overall. Through 16 games, he's averaging 13.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.1 three-pointers.
Nov 23, 2024
Available to face Boston
Reid (knee) is not on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Reid suffered an apparent left knee injury in the loss to the Raptors on Thursday, but the injury wasn't severe enough to keep him sidelined from this marquee matchup against the reigning league champions. Reid, who scored a season-low two points in the loss to Toronto, is averaging 14.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game across 11 contests since the beginning of November.
Nov 22, 2024
Hurts knee late Thursday
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.
ANALYSIS
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 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.
Nov 13, 2024
Shines off bench Tuesday
Reid registered 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert weren't at their best Tuesday, but Reid delivered an impressive effort off the bench and was one of the few standout players for the Timberwolves in this 14-point loss. 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. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Reid despite his bench role, as he's seeing the court enough to remain valuable across all formats.
Nov 5, 2024
Drops 25 points in win
Reid produced 25 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 114-93 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Reid's 25 points was a season-high mark, as well as his five makes from beyond the arc. Despite coming off the bench, Reid has seen healthy workloads for the Timberwolves, and his fantasy production has been strong. Through seven games, he's posting averages of 15.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 blocks and 2.3 three-pointers.
Oct 30, 2024
Just misses double-double Tuesday
Reid accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-114 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old big came up just short of his second double-double in four games to begin the season while recording his first block of 2024-25. Reid hasn't seen a big jump in his workload with Julius Randle replacing Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota's starting lineup, but he's been busier on the glass, averaging 7.5 rebounds through four game after setting a career high last season with 5.2 boards a contest.
Oct 25, 2024
Logs 18 points in reserve role
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.
ANALYSIS
Reid is expected to relieve Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, but he actually shared the floor with both big men briefly in the fourth quarter. 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 of the oversized grouping moving forward.
Oct 21, 2024
Suiting up for Opening Night
Reid (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid missed the final two preseason games for Minnesota due to shoulder inflammation, though he is expected to be fully ready for Opening Night. The big man will likely receive his normal share of playing time off the bench behind Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle in the frontcourt.
Oct 17, 2024
Unavailable Thursday
Reid (shoulder) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Reid will miss his team's preseason finale due to a shoulder impingement. His availability for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Lakers is in jeopardy at this point.
Oct 16, 2024
Sidelined by shoulder impingement
Reid will not play in Wednesday's preseason contest versus Chicago due to a shoulder impingement, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid's next opportunity to suit up comes in short order, as Minnesota closes a preseason back-to-back versus Denver on Thursday. Coach Chris Finch noted that Reid's absence Wednesday is a product of "the team being cautious," while the injury is regarded as "nothing serious."
Oct 11, 2024
Solid all-around effort Friday
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.
ANALYSIS
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, where yhe 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.
Oct 4, 2024
Starting in preseason opener
Reid will start at power forward in Friday's exhibition matchup with the Lakers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With Julius Randle (shoulder) sidelined, Reid will get the start alongside Ruy Gobert in the frontcourt. When healthy, Randle is expected to start in the regular-season, with Reid playing a similar role to what he saw in the 2023-24 campaign.
Oct 2, 2024
Will remain Sixth Man
Reid will continue coming off the bench this season while new acquisition Julius Randle (shoulder) will enter the starting lineup when healthy, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid thrived off the bench en route to claiming Sixth Man of the Year honors last season, and Minnesota will opt to keep him in the same role for 2024-25. The 25-year-old was productive as a starter as well, averaging 17.6 points and 7.0 rebounds while shooting 46.0 percent from the field across 14 cameos with the first unit. Since it's unclear if Randle will be fully healthy for Opening Night as he continues ramping up from a right shoulder dislocation suffered in January, Reid likely profiles for an enlarged role regardless of Minnesota's frontcourt shuffle.
Jun 2, 2024
Impresses in award-winning season
Reid averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.5 steals across 22.6 minutes in 16 playoff appearances in the 2023-24 season.
ANALYSIS
The Sixth Man of the Year award winner did not fully live up to his regular season standards in the playoffs. However, he did have a few great games against Denver and Dallas in the postseason as the Timberwolves put together an impressive run. 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 while appearing in 81 games. Reid will likely be a key part of the rotation next season as the Timberwolves aim for another strong playoff push in a stacked Western Conference.
May 25, 2024
Misses game-winning shot
Reid logged 23 points (8-13 FG, 7-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 109-108 loss to Dallas in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Reid had the chance to win it for the Timberwolves with the final shot of the fourth quarter, but his three-pointer bounced off the inside of the rim. The big man delivered an impressive performance and was Minnesota's offensive catalyst in a game where the team's two biggest stars, Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns, delivered subpar scoring performances. Reid has scored in double digits in five of his last six postseason appearances.
May 20, 2024
Plays key role late in victory
Reid closed with 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 22 minutes during Sunday's 98-90 win over the Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Reid played additional minutes down the stretch with Karl-Anthony Towns in foul trouble. As usual, Reid delivered on the offensive end but also tallied a couple of key blocks. He should once again play a pivotal role off the bench for Minnesota against the high-flying Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals.
May 15, 2024
Struggles in Game 5 loss
Reid contributed seven points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 112-97 loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
ANALYSIS
Reid was a non-factor in the loss, continuing his recent struggles. Coming off a career-best season, Reid has been unable to produce at a consistent level during the postseason. He has scored fewer than 15 points in eight of the Timberwolves' nine playoff games. Now facing a must-win matchup, Reid will look to turn things around in front of his home fans.
May 4, 2024
Big fourth quarter in Game 1
Reid ended Saturday's 106-99 win over Denver in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 16 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 23 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid struggled over the first three quarters of Friday's contest, but showed up in a big way in the fourth frame while scoring 14 of his 16 points and giving the Timberwolves a boost off the bench in a winning effort. The Sixth Man of the Year ended as one of four players with 10 or more points in the road victory, notching his third game of the postseason in double figures in scoring.
Apr 12, 2024
Back to bench
Reid isn't starting Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Reid will retreat to a bench role due to the return of Karl-Anthony Towns to the starting lineup. Reid should continue to play a key role within the Minnesota rotation, especially while Towns gets back into game shape.
Apr 9, 2024
Ejected against Wizards
Reid was ejected from Tuesday's game against the Wizards with 3:36 remaining in the first quarter. He finished with three points, two rebounds, one steal and one block in eight minutes.
ANALYSIS
The officials determined that Reid made "unnecessary and excessive" contact to the head of Johnny Davis, according to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic. With Reid hitting the locker room early, Kyle Anderson is likely to pick up a lot of minutes.
Apr 8, 2024
Posts massive 31/11 double-double
Reid chipped in 31 points (12-16 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid has effectively softened the blow of Karl-Anthony Towns' (knee) extended absence. If Towns rejoins the team for the playoffs as expected, it will be interesting to see if coach Chris Finch goes with a trio of Towns, Reid and Rudy Gobert alongside Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards. Reid has certainly displayed his ability to stretch the floor, averaging 5.1 three-point attempts per game with a conversion rate of 41.8 percent.
Apr 4, 2024
Pops for 23 points in blowout
Reid finished Wednesday's 133-85 victory over the Raptors with 23 points (8-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid's contributions have been significant for the Timberwolves amid Karl-Anthony Towns' (knee) absence. Although the team should have Towns back for the playoffs, Reid's interior presence will be crucial as they attempt to keep ahead of Denver and Oklahoma City for the top seed in the West. The LSU product has averaged 18.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocked shots over nine consecutive starts.
Apr 3, 2024
Hits 20-point mark again
Reid closed with 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Reid has adjusted well to being a full-time starter due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), and the versatile forward is going through a career-best stretch in recent weeks. He's now scored at least 20 points in three of his last five appearances, and he's also averaging 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and a combined 2.1 steals-plus-blocks per game since moving to a full-time starter role on March 16.
Mar 28, 2024
Leads Minnesota in scoring
Reid supplied 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 106-91 victory over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Reid was uncharacteristically poor from three-point range, as he failed to make multiple threes for the first time since March 12. However, he still played a prominent role on offense and led Minnesota in scoring, perhaps embracing the more significant role due to Anthony Edwards' subpar outing. Reid has scored over 15 points in five games in a row and in seven of his last eight contests, averaging 20.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 44.4 percent from deep during that eight-game stretch.
Mar 25, 2024
Double-double against Golden State
Reid had 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The 12 boards tied his season high as Reid recorded his fourth double-double of the campaign. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined, Reid has started five of his last six games and averaged 18.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 threes, 2.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent (20-for-44) from beyond the arc.
Mar 22, 2024
Available against Cavaliers
Reid (head) is available to face the Cavaliers on Friday, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The presence of Reid gives Minnesota some sort of stability in the frontcourt, as Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is out and Rudy Gobert (ribs) will be a game-time decision. Reid is averaging 16.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the beginning of March while coming off the bench in six of nine appearances.
Mar 21, 2024
Iffy for Friday
Reid (head) is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Reid missed Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to a head injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Friday. If he remains out, Luka Garza could see an increase in playing time once again.
Mar 19, 2024
Available Tuesday
Reid (head) is inactive for Tuesday's game against Denver, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid will join Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the sidelines while Rudy Gobert (ribs) remains questionable in what would otherwise be a top-tier Western Conference showdown against the Nuggets. Luka Garza will likely remain in a fringe rotation role regardless of Gobert's ultimate status, while Kyle Anderson appears locked into a 30-plus minute workload.
Mar 19, 2024
Questionable for Tuesday
Reid (head injury) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Reid left Monday's game against the Jazz early, but the questionable tag suggests that he's dealing with a day-to-day injury. In addition to Reid, Rudy Gobert (ribs) is also questionable. If the Timberwolves are shorthanded, they could turn to Jaden McDaniels, Kyle Anderson and Luka Garza.
Mar 18, 2024
Won't return Monday
Reid has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Jazz due to a head injury, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a significant loss for the Timberwolves, as the team is also without Rudy Gobert (rib) Monday evening. It'll be up to Luka Garza and Leonard Miller to step up at center the rest of the way.
Mar 17, 2024
All-around showing in start
Reid supplied 22 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 119-100 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Reid got the starting nod with Rudy Gobert absent due to injury, leading all players in Saturday's contest in rebounds to go along with a handful of rebounds and ending as one of three Timberwolves with 20 or more points in a double-double performance. Reid, who also recorded a pair of blocks and steals, has started in two games this year, recorded at least 20 points in both of those outings. He has now finished with a double-double in four outings, his first 20-point, 10-rebound showcase of the season.
Mar 16, 2024
Starting against Utah
Reid is in the starting lineup to face the Jazz on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Reid will step into a starting role with Rudy Gobert (ribs) out. Reid has been sensational of late, averaging 15.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the beginning of March.
Mar 12, 2024
Briefly exits Tuesday
Reid left Tuesday's game versus the Clippers with 5:16 remaining in the first quarter after rolling his right ankle but returned with 3:55 remaining the same period, Jack Borman of Locked on Sports Minnesota reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite having an injury scare, Reid ultimately missed less than two minutes of action Tuesday. The 24-year-old big man is seemingly available to play out the rest of the game.
Mar 12, 2024
Coming off bench
Reid will come off the bench against the Clippers on Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rudy Gobert (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Minnesota, so this is an expected move. Reid stepped up in a big way in Sunday's loss to the Lakers, finishing with 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 42 minutes.
Mar 11, 2024
Props up short-handed frontcourt
Reid supplied 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 42 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid did all he could, but he was unable to contain Anthony Davis as the frontcourt folded without Rudy Gobert (hamstring) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee). Reid put up a good number, a trend is bound to continue until the postseason, when Towns is scheduled to return. The Timberwolves stand a chance with Gobert in the lineup, but their frontcourt is extremely vulnerable with both big men on the sidelines.
Mar 10, 2024
Starting for injured Gobert
Reid will start Sunday night's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
With both Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Rudy Gobert (hamstring) sidelined, Reid will move into the starting five at center for the first time all season. The big man has developed into one of the better sixth men in the league, and he's coming off of a monster, 34-point, five-rebound, two-assist, two-block effort in Friday's loss to the Cavs. The LSU product finished that contest with seven made threes on 11 attempts.
Mar 9, 2024
Career night off bench
Reid notched 34 points (10-18 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes off the bench during Friday's 113-104 overtime loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The 34 points were a career high for Reid, while the seven made three-pointers tied the personal best he set in Dallas on Dec. 14. The fifth-year center has scored in double digits in 12 of the last 15 games as the anchor of the Timberwolves' second unit, averaging 13.7 points, 5.9 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks in 25.7 minutes a contest.
Mar 7, 2024
Leads bench in scoring Thursday
Reid recorded 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
With Karl-Anthony Towns out indefinitely with a torn meniscus in his left knee, Reid will see more opportunities on the offensive side of the floor. His 13 points Thursday was third on the team behind Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert. Although Kyle Anderson got the start for Towns, Reid could work his way into the starting five if he shows out over the next few games.
Feb 29, 2024
Impresses off bench in win
Reid finished Wednesday's 110-101 win over the Grizzlies with 19 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 25 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been one of the best bench performers this season, and although that role limits his upside a bit, he continues to find ways to make an impact on offense as the primary backup of both Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns. Reid has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 appearances, averaging 12.6 points and shooting 37.5 percent from three-point range in that span.
Feb 28, 2024
Boosts team off bench in victory
Reid posted 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reid saw extended time off the bench with Karl-Anthony Towns (personal reasons) inactive, leading all bench players in scoring and rebounds while ending as one of two Timberwolves players with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Reid has surpassed the 20-point mark in six games this season, adding five or more boards in five of those contests. All of those performances were off the bench for Reid, who has been one of the top producers on the second unit for Minnesota this year.
Feb 24, 2024
Returns to game
Reid returned to Saturday's game against the Nets with 6:18 to play in the third quarter.
ANALYSIS
Reid left the game in the second quarter and walked to the locker room under his own power after appearing to tweak his ankle on an awkward fall. Minnesota never issued an update, so that's a good sign that the issue is not serious.
Feb 24, 2024
Goes to locker room
Reid left Saturday's game versus the Nets with an apparent ankle injury with 6:56 left to play in the second quarter and went back to the locker room, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid tried to recover on a defensive play and landed awkwardly on both ankles. He stayed down on the court for a minute before walking gingerly to the locker room under his own power. If he's unable to return, Minnesota will need to rely on Kyle Anderson even more with Rudy Gobert (ankle) sitting out.
Feb 9, 2024
Provides spark off bench in win
Reid finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 129-105 victory over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Reid led all Timberwolves bench players in scoring while connecting on a pair of threes and ending as one of five players with 15 or more points in a winning effort. Reid has been one of the top producers off Minnesota's bench this season, posting 17 or more points in 10 outings. Reid has now recorded at least 10 points in four of his last five contests.
Feb 7, 2024
Notches 10 points
Reid racked up 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 129-123 overtime loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Despite coming off the bench, Reid's minutes have held steady in the low 20s. Over his last eight games, he's played 22.0 minutes per contest with averages of 9.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.
Jan 30, 2024
Chips in to balanced attack
Reid produced nine points (3-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Monday's 107-101 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid was scoreless from inside the arc Monday, which is an uncharacteristic feat against an undersized Oklahoma City frontcourt. Notably, Reid is taking a career-high 49.6 percent of his 9.5 shots per game from deep.
Jan 19, 2024
Reaches 20 points off bench in win
Reid recorded 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 24 minutes during Thursday's 118-103 win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Reid led all Timberwolves players in threes made while adding a trio of rebounds and a team-high-tying pair of steals en route to finishing as one of two players with 20 or more points. Reid has tallied at least 20 points in five games this year, connecting on four or more threes in three outings.
Jan 11, 2024
Lifts bench with double-double
Reid provided 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 overtime loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Reid led all bench players in Wednesday's contest in scoring, rebounds and assists while recording a team-high three blocks in extended time off the bench due to the absence of Rudy Gobert (hip). Reid tied a season high in rebounds while tallying his second game with 10 or more boards and notching his second double-double of the year. Reid has now posted at least 19 points off the bench in five outings.
Jan 8, 2024
Solid output off bench
Reid closed with 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and nine rebounds over 27 minutes during Sunday's 115-108 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid was efficient from the field and delivered another solid display, reaching the 15-point mark for the third time over the last five contests. Even though he's had a fair share of ups and downs, which is to be expected given the nature of his bench role, but Reid has been a consistent performer off the bench for the Timberwolves this season. Through 35 outings, he's averaging 12.7 points and 4.7 rebounds while logging 22.3 minutes per game.
Dec 31, 2023
Hollywood Naz
Reid amassed 21 points (8-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Saturday's 108-106 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid stepped up with Karl-Anthony Towns struggling offensively and finding no rhythm whatsoever, looking out of sorts in a game that was tight throughout. Coach Chris Finch leaning on Reid in this context is encouraging, but Reid entered Saturday's contest averaging just 8.8 points in 19.7 minutes over his last six games. It's tough to trust him on a nightly basis given Minnesota's frontcourt logjam, but Reid is quietly averaging a career-high 12.9 points per game on elite 50.5/40.1/91.3 percent shooting.
Dec 19, 2023
Top scorer off bench in win
Reid had 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 112-108 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Reid led all bench players in Monday's game in scoring while ending as one of five Timberwolves players with a double-digit point total and once again providing a much-needed offensive spark on Minnesota's second unit. Reid has been outstanding off the Timberwolves bench this season, posting 15 or more points in 10 games including in four straight contests.
Dec 17, 2023
Efficient off bench Saturday
Reid contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Reid continues to make an impact when coming off the bench, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say he's been one of the most productive second-unit players in the Western Conference, and perhaps in the entire league. Reid has been a regular scoring alternative for the TImberwolves despite his secondary role, and he's averaging 15.1 points per game over his last 10 games while scoring in double digits eight times in that span.
Dec 15, 2023
Makes history in win over Dallas
Reid notched 27 points (8-14 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Thursday's 119-101 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid tied a franchise record with seven threes made off the bench in the win, and his contributions were pivotal as Minnesota sparked a comeback following a slow start in the first quarter. Reid has been forced to play off the bench since Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns are the starting frontcourt, but he's finding ways to make an impact, particularly on the offensive end. Over his last 10 games, Reid is averaging 14.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while also scoring in double digits in each of his last five appearances.
Dec 9, 2023
Nears double-double off bench
Reid finished with 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes in Friday's 127-103 win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Reid finished second on the team in scoring and as one of seven Timberwolves players with a double-digit point total while ending one board short of a double-double performance. Reid has provided a boost to Minnesota's second unit this season, posting 10 or more points in 16 games this year. He has finished with at least 10 points and nine rebounds in two straight outings.
Dec 3, 2023
Erupts for 23 points
Reid finished with 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 123-117 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
This was Reid's second-highest scoring game of the season, his best mark since Oct. 28 (25 points). Reid was held to six points Thursday against the Jazz with Anthony Edwards (hip) on the shelf, but he bounced back in a big way Saturday with Edwards sidelined once again. Reid has now scored in double figures in three of his last four games with averages of 14.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.8 three-pointers.
Nov 27, 2023
Productive off bench Sunday
Reid provided 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 119-97 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Reid has a complicated path toward earning more regular playing time given that Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert are playing exceptionally well together as the starting frontcourt. However, Reid is making the most of his minutes, and he can be a decent waiver pickup in fantasy despite his steady bench role. He has scored in double digits in six of his last eight outings, averaging 10.6 points and 3.4 rebounds while logging just 19.0 minutes per game in that span.
Nov 16, 2023
Logs another efficient performance
Reid posted 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and a steal in Minnesota's 133-115 loss to the Suns on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Although the Timberwolves broke their seven-game win streak, Reid continues to shine in his role as the sixth man, leading all bench scorers for the ninth time this season. The 24-year-old center is averaging 13.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks in 21.5 minutes thus far, on a remarkable 44.4 percent from three. Whether he maintains this efficiency has yet to be determined, but expect Reid to continue producing solid statlines on a nightly basis regardless.
Nov 12, 2023
Available against Golden State
Reid (neck) is available for Sunday's game against the Warriors, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid exited Friday's game against the Spurs due to neck soreness but will be able to suit up two days later. He's averaging 13.8 points and 4.3 rebounds in 22.9 minutes per game this season.
Nov 11, 2023
Deemed game-time call Sunday
Reid (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against Golden State.
ANALYSIS
Reid was forced to exit Friday's matchup against San Antonio due to neck spasms, and he's since been added to the injury report with neck soreness. The Timberwolves should determine Reid's availability after re-evaluating him Sunday morning.
Nov 10, 2023
Leaves game with neck issue
Reid left Friday's game against the Spurs with neck spasms and wasn't able to return to the game.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves initially called Reid questionable to return, but there were only a few minutes left in the fourth quarter at that time. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors. If he's unable to play, we'd likely see some smaller lineups with guys like Kyle Anderson and Shake Milton benefitting.
Nov 7, 2023
Displays two-way play off bench
Reid accumulated 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 114-109 overtime victory over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Reid led all bench players in Monday's contest in scoring while finishing as one of four Wolves players with a double-digit point total in an impressive victory over the Celtics. Reid showcased his two-way play in the win, tallying a team-high block total while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals in 25 minutes of action. Reid has been the best player off Minnesota's bench this season, reaching double figures in scoring in all six appearances.
Oct 29, 2023
Impresses off bench against Miami
Reid finished with 25 points (10-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 106-90 victory over the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Reid was a standout performer for Minnesota in this one, and he managed to outplay both Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns despite not starting. Reid is not expected to move to the starting lineup regardless of how good he looks, as that would mean sending Towns or Gobert to the second unit, but his numbers have been quite good. Through two games, he has racked up 35 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Oct 20, 2023
Strong showing off bench Thursday
Reid scored 14 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 21 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 114-105 preseason win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Even with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) getting the night off, Reid remained in his role usual as the frontcourt anchor for the second unit and produced impressive numbers. The contract extension he signed over the summer could keep him in Minnesota through 2025-26, and the commitment from the team suggests his workload could increase from the 18.4 minutes a night he saw in 2022-23, even if Towns and Rudy Gobert stay mostly healthy.
Oct 15, 2023
Booms off bench
Reid posted 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block in 19 minutes during Saturday's 121-112 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been a constant scoring weapon throughout preseason, racking up 52 points in 53 minutes across three games. If Minnesota can find versatile lineups to get Reid reasonable playing time throughout the season, he's talented enough to garner Sixth Man of The Year credibility.
Oct 7, 2023
Strong showing off bench
Reid scored 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt) with three rebounds, an assist and a steal in 16 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 104-96 preseason win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
With Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert both healthy to begin the exhibition schedule, Reid is again set for a role on the second unit, but he could still see significant minutes after signing a two-year, $27 million contract extension in June to remain with Minnesota. The 24-year-old center has already attempted five three-pointers through two preseason games after hoisting up 3.2 a game last season with a 34.6 percent success rate, and if Reid can become even more of a floor-spacing option in 2023-24, it would be easier for coach Chris Fitch to find room for him alongside either of the team's two starting bigs.
Oct 5, 2023
Strong in preseason debut
Reid delivered 16 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and an assist across 18 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 111-99 preseason win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid spent the offseason rehabbing from a wrist injury and was participating in camp in the last few days, so his presence in the preseason opener wasn't surprising. He's slated to open the season as Karl-Anthony Towns' backup, but given Towns' injury history and Reid's solid numbers in limited minutes, he could be an intriguing option in deeper formats.
Oct 4, 2023
Participating in camp
Reid (wrist) has been participating at training camp.
ANALYSIS
Reid underwent surgery to repair a left scaphoid fracture in his left wrist way back in April, but Minnesota hasn't even mentioned it which is a great sign. There has been some chatter about Reid playing a larger role this season, as he proved to be very reliable off the bench in 2022-23 which earned him a $42 million deal.
Jun 25, 2023
Agrees to three-year deal
Reid and the Timberwolves agreed Sunday on a three-year, $42 million deal that includes a player option, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid broke his wrist a few weeks before the regular season ended and was sidelined for the Timberwolves' postseason series loss to Denver. The talented big man was expected to miss six weeks following his surgery in early April, so he should be full go for offseason workouts this summer. Reid appears to have taken a discount to remain in Minnesota, as he likely could've commanded a bigger deal elsewhere. As a reserve last year (57 games), Reid averaged 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.9 minutes, but he thrived as a starter (11 games), posting 16.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.1 minutes. It's unlikely he'll be a regular starter as long as Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert are available, but regardless of his role, Reid will be critical part of the Timberwolves' rotation for years to come.
Apr 5, 2023
Undergoes successful surgery
Minnesota announced Wednesday that Reid underwent successful surgery to repair a left scaphoid fracture and will be sidelined infinitely
ANALYSIS
Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Reid is looking at a six-week absence following the surgery, so the Timberwolves will need to make a deep postseason run for talented big man to even have a shot at returning this season. The injury couldn't have come at a worst time for Reid, who averaged 18.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks with 57/37/76 shooting splits over his last eight appearances before breaking his wrist.
Mar 31, 2023
Sidelined for six weeks
Reid will undergo surgery on his fractured left wrist and will be sidelined for six weeks according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
ANALYSIS
This is a brutal blow for Minnesota, as Reid was in the midst of the best stretch of his career. With Reid out of the lineup for quite a while, we could see Minnesota go with some smaller lineups which would benefit Jaden McDaniels and Kyle Anderson.
Mar 31, 2023
Out indefinitely
Reid had an MRI taken Thursday, which revealed a left scaphoid fracture, and he'll remain out indefinitely.
ANALYSIS
Reid had been on a tear of late, posting 18.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks with 57/37/76 shooting splits over his past eight appearances, so his absence will be a significant blow to Minnesota over the final five games of the regular season. The Timberwolves haven't ruled out a potential playoff return, but the lack of timetable suggests Reid playing again this season would require a miraculous turnaround in a short amount of time.
Mar 31, 2023
Gets diagnosed with broken wrist
Reid (wrist) is expected to miss a significant period of time, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After landing on the injury report as questionable heading into Friday's matchup with the Lakers, Reid suffered a broken wrist and should be considered out indefinitely for now. The center was having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 11.5 points and 4.9 rebounds in 18.4 minutes of action. Expect Nathan Knight and Taurean Prince to see additional minutes while Reid is unavailable.
Mar 30, 2023
Questionable Friday
Reid is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Lakers due to a left wrist injury.
ANALYSIS
Despite the return of Karl-Anthony Towns (calf), Reid has taken his game up a notch. He's reached at least 12 points in the past eight games, averaging 18.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 21.9 minutes. If he's forced to miss his first game since March 13, more minutes could be in store for Nathan Knight and Taurean Prince (illness).
Mar 28, 2023
Provides spark off bench
Reid closed Monday's 119-115 win over the Kings with 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been absolutely stellar for Minnesota lately, averaging 18.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks in 21.7 minutes per game. Despite not being a starter or playing over 30 minutes on daily basis, Reid's still capable of above-average fantasy outings anytime he steps onto the court.
Mar 27, 2023
Explodes for team-high 23 points
Reid ended with 23 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Sunday's 99-96 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Reid made a significant impact during only 21 minutes of work. Sunday's game flow revealed a continuing correlation between Reid and Gobert, although the two shared the court for a few minutes in the second quarter. Karl-Anthony Towns' return seemed to have no bearing on Reid's usage, as the two shared the court frequently when Gobert took breaks. Reid was especially effective in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 points that included two three-pointers.
Mar 23, 2023
Thrives off bench in win
Reid logged 26 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Reid was excellent off the bench once again and continued his solid run of play. He has scored in double digits in five games in a row and in 10 of his last 11, averaging a solid 15.5 points and 5.4 rebounds across 21.1 minutes per game in that stretch.
Mar 20, 2023
Available against New York
Reid (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Reid was questionable Monday due to his sore calf but will be able to suit up for a third consecutive matchup. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 17.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game.
Mar 19, 2023
Iffy for Monday's contest
Reid is questionable for Monday's game in New York due to left calf soreness.
ANALYSIS
Despite battling the calf soreness, Reid scored a team-high 22 points off the bench during Saturday's loss to Toronto, but he finds himself on the injury report again. He's appeared in three straight games, including a back-to-back set, and is averaging 17.0 points and 4.3 rebounds during that stretch, so barring a turn for the worse, it seems safe to expect Reid to suit up Monday. However, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm his availability ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tip.
Mar 19, 2023
Lone bright spot in loss
Reid recorded 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Reid came off the bench and scored a team-high 22 points, but it wasn't enough as the Timberwolves struggled to find any offensive consistency without Anthony Edwards (ankle). Over his past three appearances, Reid is averaging 17.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.
Mar 18, 2023
Available at Toronto
Reid (calf) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Despite some calf soreness, Reid will see the floor Saturday. Since the All-Star break, the reserve big has averaged 14.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 20.4 minutes.
Mar 18, 2023
Questionable Saturday
Reid (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Reid is at risk of missing the closing end of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set Saturday after logging 25 minutes in Friday's loss to the Bulls. He has dealt with lingering soreness in his left calf throughout the past week but has played through the injury in the last two contests. With Rudy Gobert (ankle) also questionable, Nathan Knight could be thrust into a significant role if one of Reid or Gobert sits.
Mar 17, 2023
Ready to go Friday
Reid (calf) is available for Friday's game against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Reid will play in his second straight contest despite carrying a questionable tag. Rudy Gobert (ankle) has also been cleared to play, meaning Reid is likely looking at minutes in the teens against the Bulls.
Mar 16, 2023
Questionable Friday
Reid (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Reid returned from a one-game absence Wednesday against the Celtics, but he's still dealing with a sore left calf ahead of Friday's matchup. Rudy Gobert (ankle) is also questionable, so if Reid is cleared to play, his role will likely depend on whether Gobert is available.
Mar 16, 2023
Strong showing off bench in return
Reid (calf) finished Wednesday's 104-102 loss to the Celtics with 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Back in action after a one-game absence, Reid slotted back into his familiar role as the Timberwolves' backup center and finished with a bench-leading scoring total. He didn't overlap with Rudy Gobert (29 minutes) at any point during the contest, however, and unless Gobert misses time due to injury or succumbs to foul trouble on a given night, Reid looks like he may struggle to push past 20 minutes on any sort of regular basis.
Mar 15, 2023
Absent from injury report
Reid (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Reid missed Monday's tilt with left calf soreness but is back in action for Wednesday's contest. He should step into his usual backup center role behind Rudy Gobert. Reid has averaged just 8.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game over his last three appearances.
Mar 14, 2023
Questionable Wednesday
Reid (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Reid missed the last game due to his calf injury, which allowed Luka Garza to get some extended run in the rotation behind Rudy Gobert. However, Gobert is also being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game due to his nagging left ankle sprain, so if both Reid and Gobert are forced to the sidelines, Garza would be on the radar as a potential streamer.
Mar 13, 2023
Out Monday
Reid (left calf soreness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Reid wasn't on any of the initial injury reports, so he might have tweaked his calf during warmups. For now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, but with Rudy Gobert healthy, it's tough for Reid to get the minutes he needs to impact most leagues.
Mar 4, 2023
Adds 15 points off bench
Reid closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 110-102 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid fared well off the bench in this one by shooting 50.0 percent from the field and finishing in double figures for his fourth straight contest. He's also been a consistent source of rebounds for fantasy managers, now averaging 6.3 rebounds to go along with 13.4 points, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals over his last eight games.
Feb 28, 2023
Back to bench
Reid will return to the bench Tuesday against the Clippers, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.
ANALYSIS
Rudy Gobert (illness) rejoins the starting lineup after one game on the sidelines. Reid is coming off one of the best performances of his career Sunday and it's going to be interesting to see if he's earned more run from the coaching staff.
Feb 27, 2023
Career-best night Sunday
Reid recorded 30 points (12-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and five steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 109-104 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Reid replaced Rudy Gobert (illness) in the starting lineup Sunday and certainly made the most of his opportunity. Although he has had some nice moments this season, anyone who streamed him in could not have expected a performance like this. He led the team in points, rebounds, steals, blocks and three-pointers, delivering arguably the best overall line of the night. Unfortunately, Gobert is unlikely to miss significant time, meaning Reid will likely shift back to his usual bench role in the very near future.
Feb 26, 2023
Starting Sunday
Reid is starting Sunday against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Reid came off the bench in his last four appearances but will rejoin the starting lineup since Rudy Gobert (illness) is unavailable. Over 10 starts this year, Reid has averaged 15.1 points and 6.8 rebounds in 25.1 minutes per game.
Feb 10, 2023
Returns to bench
Reid isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus Memphis, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid will be replaced by Rudy Gobert in the starting five Friday. The 23-year-old big man is averaging 15.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 25.1 minutes across 10 games starting this season.
Feb 7, 2023
Inserted into starting lineup
Reid is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Reid will replace Kyle Anderson (back) in the starting five Tuesday. However, this will be his first time starting alongside Rudy Gobert this season.
Feb 3, 2023
Moves back to bench
Reid isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Reid will be replaced by Rudy Gobert in the starting lineup Friday. The 23-year-old big man is averaging 16.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in his eight games starting this season.
Feb 2, 2023
Steps up in win
Reid ended Wednesday's 119-114 overtime win over Golden State with 24 points (10-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid posted his best scoring effort since Dec. 19, when he poured in 27 points against the Mavs. He also dominated on the boards to secure his first double-double of the new calendar year. This outburst was a rare occurrence for Reid, who'd been averaging 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in his previous seven appearances leading up to Wednesday's clash.
Feb 1, 2023
Starting Wednesday
Reid will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Warriors, with Rudy Gobert (groin) unavailable.
ANALYSIS
Reid has played well in a starting role this season with averages of 15.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 triples, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest, so he looks like a quality streamer tonight. Joining him in the first unit will be D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Kyle Anderson.
Jan 29, 2023
Pops for 14 points Saturday
Reid notched 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds in 13 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Reid scored 14 points in 13 minutes, although offered nothing else outside of the points column. With Rudy Gobert back in the fold, Reid has shifted back to the bench, rendering him a non-factor in fantasy. He is always a player to monitor given what he can do when handed a sizeable role. Unfortunately, that is only going to come if and when Gobert is out.
Jan 22, 2023
Limited again in victory
Reid posted five points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 15 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Reid started again for the Timberwolves but failed to produce, logging just 15 minutes. Despite starting for the past three games, Reid is well outside the top 150, putting a sour taste in the mouth of anyone who added him when Gobert went down with a groin injury. With that said, Reid is likely to stick in the opening unit until Gobert is back, and given his solid per-minute production, he is worth holding onto in most spots for now.
Jan 20, 2023
Early foul trouble in spot start
Reid produced five points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 22 minutes during Thursday's 128-126 victory over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Reid moved into the starting lineup Thursday but was kept to just 22 minutes as a result of early foul trouble. Despite the limited playing time, Reid still managed to deliver serviceable production for anyone who streamed him in. There is no word on how long Rudy Gobert will be out with his groin injury but until we get word on his return, Reid should be added in just about every format.
Jan 19, 2023
Puts up 17 points in relief
Reid provided 17 points (4-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Although Reid came nowhere close to Rudy Gobert's (groin) voluminous rebound totals, he was able to draw plenty of fouls, resulting in nine points from the charity stripe. The 6-foot-9 center has a three-point stroke that can surprise you, and although he didn't convert any in the loss, he averages 2.8 shot attempts from beyond the arc per game and sports a conversion rate of 33.6 percent.
Jan 18, 2023
Will start Wednesday
Reid will be part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Reid will draw the start with Rudy Gobert (groin) absent for Wednesday's tilt. He immediately becomes a top option in daily formats and should not be left on waivers considering he has averaged 20.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals over 29.6 minutes per game as a starter this season.
Jan 15, 2023
Drops 17-and-7 in victory
Reid registered 17 points (8-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Saturday's 110-102 victory over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Reid started the second half Saturday, sliding up in the rotation after Rudy Gobert was ruled out due to a groin issue. While it is unclear how serious Gobert's injury is, Reid is certainly worth a speculative add in standard formats, given what he was able to do last time Gobert was sidelined.
Jan 8, 2023
Will play Sunday
Reid (back) is available to play Sunday against the Rockets, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The return of Reid will add some much-needed depth on the frontcourt for the Timberwolves, as he can produce regardless if he plays as a starter or off the bench. Reid is averaging 13.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game since the start of December and should operate as Rudy Gobert's main backup.
Jan 7, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Reid (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Reid is questionable Saturday after exiting Friday's game versus the Clippers with back spasms. The 23-year-old big man had missed the two contests beforehand due to the same injury. If Reid can't suit up Sunday, Nathan Knight and Luka Garza will likely receive extended minutes as backups in the frontcourt.
Jan 6, 2023
Exits with back spasms
Reid left Friday's contest against the Clippers early due to back spasms, Timberwolves' reporter Dana Moore reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid had missed back-to-back games with back spasms before returning Friday. It appears he is not completely over the issue and will miss the remainder of the game as a result. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Rockets.
Jan 6, 2023
Will play Friday
Reid (back) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Reid has missed back-to-back games due to back spasms and was initially listed as questionable for Friday's game. However, the backup big man will return to action against Los Angeles. Over his past 15 appearances (four starts), he's averaged 13.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 23.1 minutes.
Jan 5, 2023
Listed questionable Friday
Reid (back) is considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Reid has missed the past pair of games while tending to back spasms, and his status for Friday's game appears to be up in the air as well. Rudy Gobert, Luka Garza and Nathan Knight are candidates to see additional minutes if he can't suit up again.
Jan 4, 2023
Sitting Wednesday
Reid (back) will not play in Wednesday's meeting with the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Reid will miss a second consecutive contest with back spasms. Nathan Knight figures to handle most of the backup center duties once again after logging 22 points last time out. Reid's next opportunity to play comes Friday against the Clippers.
Jan 3, 2023
Listed as questionable
Reid (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Portland.
ANALYSIS
Reid was sidelined for Monday's game after being a late addition to the injury report with a back issue. It's encouraging not to see him initially listed as out, suggesting the injury isn't severe, but the reserve big man may still miss at least one additional contest. If that's the case, Kyle Anderson, Jaden McDaniels and Nathan Knight are all candidates for increased roles, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) out for the foreseeable future.
Jan 2, 2023
Ruled out Monday
Reid (back) will miss Monday's contest against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
After being a late addition to Minnesota's injury report, Reid will officially miss Monday's matchup against Denver. The 23-year-old's next chance to return comes Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.
Jan 2, 2023
Added to injury report
Reid is questionable for Monday's contest against Denver due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Reid has appeared in 19 straight games for the Timberwolves but is now questionable for Monday's contest against the Nuggets. If Reid is unable to suit up, his next chance to return comes Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.
Dec 31, 2022
16-and-7 in spot start
Reid produced 16 points (7-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Friday's 123-114 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Reid moved back into the starting lineup after Rudy Gobert was ruled out due to illness, putting together another strong performance. Despite his role changing from one night to the next, Reid has been a relatively steady source of points, rebounds and blocks over the past two weeks. Even if Gobert is to return for their next game, Reid is worth holding onto, at least until Gobert can establish himself as the dominant center in the rotation.
Dec 30, 2022
Starting Friday
Reid will join the starting five for Friday's matchup with Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Reid will grab the start with Rudy Gobert (illness) sidelined. He has scored over 25 points and grabbed at least nine rebounds in two of his three starts and is a fantastic streaming option.
Dec 27, 2022
Double-doubles off bench
Reid ended with 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 29 minutes during Monday's 113-110 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Reid looked impressive in a three-game stretch between Dec. 16 and Dec. 19 in which he started each time out, but he has found ways to produce even when he comes off the bench. He's making the most of the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) and has scored in double digits in five of his last six games while clearing the 20-point mark three times in that stretch. Reid is averaging 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in December.
Dec 21, 2022
Not starting Wednesday
Reid isn't in the starting five Wednesday against Dallas.
ANALYSIS
After starting the previous three matchups, Reid heads to the bench with Rudy Gobert (ankle) returning. Reid has averaged 8.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 14.8 minutes off the bench this year.
Dec 20, 2022
Another huge game
Reid posted 27 points (11-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 116-106 victory over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Reid has taken advantage of the lack of frontcourt depth the Timberwolves are dealing with right now, as both Rudy Gobert (ankle) and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) are dealing with injuries, and he's embraced the chance of playing significant minutes. Reid has started each of Minnesota's last three games and is averaging 21.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.3 assists per game in that span.
Dec 19, 2022
Good to go
Reid (shoulder) has been cleared to play Monday against the Mavericks, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Reid has been given the green light after being listed as probable due to shoulder soreness. He's averaging 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists over his last six matchups.
Dec 19, 2022
Should play Monday
Reid (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid exited Sunday's contest in the first half due to the injury and did not return but is likely to suit up Monday. With Rudy Gobert (ankle) iffy for the contest, Reid could be in line for another start if Gobert sits. In his only start this season that he finished, Reid tallied 28 points, nine rebounds and three steals in 37 minutes.
Dec 18, 2022
Downgraded to out
Reid (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Reid didn't return to the game after suffering the injury, and the fact that he was ruled out suggests the injury might be more severe than initially expected. This means Nathan Knight is in line for a bigger role on offense, while Reid's next chance to feature will come Monday against the Mavericks.
Dec 18, 2022
Might not return Sunday
Reid is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a trapezius injury.
ANALYSIS
Reid suffered the injury in the first half and has not returned since then. In the event that he doesn't return to action, then Nathan Knight would be in line to see more minutes.
Dec 16, 2022
Dominates is spot start
Reid had 28 points (11-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 112-110 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid moved into the starting lineup with Rudy Gobert (ankle) sidelined, delivering easily his best performance of the year. As a matter of fact, this may even be the best performance of his career, just rewards for anyone who managed to stream him in. It is unclear if Gobert will miss further time as a result of his injury but if that is the case, Reid becomes a must-roster player across all formats.
Dec 16, 2022
Starting Friday
Reid will join the starting lineup for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Reid will draw his first start of the season with Rudy Gobert (ankle) out for the game. Joining him in the starting five is Austin Rivers, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Kyle Anderson. Reid should garner significant streaming interest from fantasy managers given his double-double upside.
Dec 13, 2022
Hits double figures again
Reid finished with 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes in Monday's 133-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Though Reid's production has tailed off since he turned in a 13-18 game with four blocks and three assists in 30 minutes in a Dec. 3 game in which Rudy Gobert was ejected in the first half, the fourth-year big man has remained serviceable in deeper leagues while seeing his typical amount of playing time behind Gobert. He's reached double figures in scoring in three of those contests while grabbing at least three boards on each occasion and shooting 54.8 percent from the field and 83.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Dec 4, 2022
Monster day on boards
Reid supplied 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, three assists and four blocks in 30 minutes during Saturday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid secured a game-high 18 rebounds on the way to a loss, easily setting a new top mark in rebounds on the season. He also continues to protect the rim for this Minnesota team who will be without the services of Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) for at least the next month, as Reid has swatted away nine shots over his last two games. While the sample size has been small, the 23-year-old has been impressive with increased opportunities since Towns went down Monday in Washington.
Nov 30, 2022
Plays rim protector in win
Reid accumulated seven points (3-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 victory over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Reid tallied a season-high five blocks on the night after failing to record a block in three straight games coming into Wednesday's action. His scoring production has been nothing to marvel at so far this year, averaging 7.6 points over 22 matchups, but he could see increased opportunities moving forward with Karl-Anthony Towns set to miss the next 4-to-6 weeks with a strained calf.
Nov 17, 2022
Plays in garbage time
Reid (illness) played the final 1:46 of Wednesday's 126-108 win over the Magic, logging one rebound and one assist.
ANALYSIS
Though 12 players took the court for the Timberwolves on the night, head coach Chris Finch essentially ran a nine-man rotation. None of Reid, Nathan Knight or A.J. Lawson took the floor until the final two minutes, when Minnesota had built a 22-point lead. If Finch elects to expand the rotation to back to 10 men moving forward, Reid would be the most likely beneficiary, though he would still only be in store for a limited role off the bench behind starting center Rudy Gobert. Before missing the Wolves' previous three games with an illness, Reid had averaged 10.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15.6 minutes per contest over his last five outings, though Gobert sat out two of those games.
Nov 15, 2022
Slated to return Wednesday
Reid (illness) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Reid returned to practice Tuesday, which seemed a likely signal he would be given the green light. Reid's absence from the injury report essentially confirms that to be the case. He should resume his duties as a double-digit minute contributor off the bench behind Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns in the Timberwolves' frontcourt.
Nov 15, 2022
Back at practice
Reid (illness) participated in practice Tuesday, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves have yet to release an updated injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Magic, but Reid's ability to practice suggests he's on track to end his three-game absence. Expect Reid to step back into head coach Chris Finch's rotation as the primary backup to starting center Rudy Gobert.
Nov 12, 2022
Out again Sunday
Reid (illness) will not suit up Sunday against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Reid will miss his third consecutive contest due to a non-COVID illness. HIs next opportunity to make a return to action will come Wednesday versus the Magic.
Nov 10, 2022
Won't dress Friday
Reiz (illness) will not play Friday versus the Grizzlies, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports
ANALYSIS
Reid departed Wednesday's game against the Suns before ever taking the floor, feeling under the weather, and it appears he will take a couple of days off to rest up. His next chance to play arrives Sunday against the Cavs.
Nov 9, 2022
Won't return Wednesday
Reid won't return to Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to an illness.
ANALYSIS
Reid will officially sit the remainder of the matchup after coming down with an illness. He'll likely be tabbed questionable for the team's next game Friday against Memphis.
Nov 8, 2022
Scores 11 points in 18 minutes
Reid finished with 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Monday's 120-107 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Reid continues to see additional run with Rudy Gobert in the health and safety protocols. Despite the opportunity, Reid has not been able to move the fantasy needle all too much. He currently sits outside the top 180 and given his inability to cash in over the past couple of games, he should not be viewed as a viable commodity outside of deeper leagues.
Oct 31, 2022
Scores 11 points in eight minutes
Reid chipped in 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in nine minutes during Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reid topped double-digits for just the second time this season, highlighting just what a struggle it has been for him to contribute on a regular basis. The arrival of Rudy Gobert in the offseason basically signaled an end to any hopes Reid had of being an essential piece for the Timberwolves. Barring an injury to either Gobert of Karl-Anthony Towns, Reid should remain on the waiver wire, even in deeper formats.
Oct 24, 2022
Drops 14 points off bench
Reid closed with 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 13 minutes during Sunday's 116-106 win over Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Reid wasn't called on off the bench in Minnesota's regular-season opener, but he's played in the two games since, finishing in double figures despite limited minutes. He was solid on the offensive end of the court, drilling his first two triples of the season while also helping out on the boards. Reid is unlikely to see sizable workloads on a consistent basis given his place on the depth chart behind Rudy Gobert, but he has been a solid option off the bench for the Timberwolves over the last few years, most recently averaging 8.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 blocks over 77 games in 2021-22.
Oct 13, 2022
Another preseason double-double
Reid tallied 22 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot over 27 minutes in Wednesday's exhibition victory versus the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert were both rested for the contest, allowing Reid the opportunity to be the focal point of the offense. He led Minnesota in scoring, field-goal attempts and boards while logging his second consecutive preseason double-double. Reid has been excellent through four games, averaging 14.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.0 blocks over 21.8 minutes. He's capable of putting up strong per-minute numbers, but his fantasy stock is limited due to playing behind Towns and Gobert.
Oct 10, 2022
Double-doubles in start Sunday
Reid produced 20 points (9-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Reid started at the power forward position, although he spent much of his time protecting the paint. This allowed Karl-Anthony Towns to play on the perimeter a little more, something he will need to get used to moving forward. Reid was productive during his time on the floor, and while he is not a viable target in standard formats, he should be on watchlists everywhere given his ability to put up numbers when handed a larger role.
Oct 4, 2022
Starting Tuesday
The Timberwolves announced that Reid would start at center for Tuesday's preseason matchup with the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Reid is starting with Rudy Gobert (rest) and Karl-Anthony (illness) Towns out. The 6-10 big man is positioned to be team's primary backup in the front court. Last season Reid averaged 8.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.9 blocks in 15.8 minutes across 77 games.
Sep 28, 2022
To play more power forward
Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said Wednesday that he has spent all summer trying to get Reid more reps at power forward, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid has played primarily center in his first three seasons in Minnesota as a backup to Karl-Anthony Towns. However, with the addition of Rudy Gobert, the team has limited minutes to go around at the position. The 6-foot-10 big man has proven to be a solid floor spacer, shooting 34.3 and 35.1 percent from three in his last two seasons. This versatility should allow Minnesota to play their star centers without sacrificing too many of Reid's minutes.

Jun 29, 2022
Team option picked up
Reid had his $1.93 million team option picked up by the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid signed a three-year deal with the Timberwolves in 2019 that included the team option for 2022-23, and for now it appears he'll be back with the team barring any changes during free agency. He appeared in 77 games during the 2021-22 season, averaging 8.3 points and 3.9 rebounds across 15.8 minutes per contest, mostly in a reserve role.
Apr 29, 2022
Officially out
Reid (personal) has officially been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 against the Grizzlies, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid was a late addition to the TImberwolves' injury report. His absence will leave either Jarred Vanderbilt or Greg Monroe to handle backup center duties.
Apr 29, 2022
Listed as questionable
Reid is a late addition to the Timberwolves' injury report ahead of Friday's Game 6 versus the Grizzlies, as he is now listed as questionable dut to personal reasons.
ANALYSIS
This news comes shortly before tip-off. If Reid is unable to go, Jarred Vanderbilt would presumably be the primary backup center behind Karl-Anthony Towns.
Apr 12, 2022
Coming off bench
Reid will come off the bench Tuesday against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Reid heads to the bench with Karl-Anthony Towns (rest) back for the play-in game. In his past five games off the bench, Reid has averaged 6.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.0 minutes.
Apr 10, 2022
Starting for resting KAT
Reid will start Sunday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
With Karl-Anthony Towns resting in the regular-season finale, Reid will get the nod at center. He's been the primary backup to Towns for the entire season, typically seeing somewhere between 12 and 19 minutes on most nights. Given the circumstances Sunday, Reid should be set for a tangible boost in playing time.
Mar 31, 2022
Stars defensively
Reid closed with nine points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 125-102 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Reid finished with multiple blocks and steals in the same game for just the second time this season. Over his last six appearances, the backup big man has averaged 8.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 13.2 minutes. With Jaden McDaniels (ankle) sidelined for at least another week, Reid is expected to maintain a small roll off Minnesota's bench.
Mar 21, 2022
Ready to play Monday
Reid (back) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid was considered probable for Monday's contest due to back spasms and has been cleared to take the court. He missed two games with the injury before returning to action Saturday against the Bucks, when he had 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes.
Mar 20, 2022
Probable for Monday
Reid (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid missed two games due to back spasms before returning to the court Saturday against the Bucks, and he's expected to be available for Monday's contest. The 22-year-old could have an increased role against Dallas if Karl-Anthony Towns (forearm), who is considered questionable, ends up being ruled out.
Mar 19, 2022
Drops 14 in return
Reid accumulated 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 138-119 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
After missing the prior two games due to back spasms, Reid returned to the lineup with his fifth double-digit scoring effort in his last seven contests. The third-year center is averaging 12.1 points, 6.3 boards, 1.1 steals, 1.0 assists and 1.0 threes in 16.7 minutes a game during that stretch, and with Karl-Anthony Towns a little banged up himself right now, Reid could supply the Timberwolves with some valuable minutes down the stretch if he can stay healthy.
Mar 19, 2022
Will play against Bucks
Reid (back) is available for Saturday's game against Milwaukee, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Back spasms kept Reid out of each of Minnesota's past two contests, but he'll be back on the court to face the Bucks on Saturday. His return could be especially important if Karl Anthony-Towns, who is a game-time decision due to a right forearm contusion, is unable to play.
Mar 18, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Reid (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Reid has missed the last two games with back spasms but will have a chance to return to the court Saturday. If he remains out, Jarred Vanderbilt (quadriceps) and Nathan Knight could see additional run.
Mar 16, 2022
Out Wednesday
Reid (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid will miss a second straight game as he continues to deal with back spasms. His next opportunity to return will come Saturday when the Timberwolves host the Bucks.
Mar 15, 2022
Questionable Wednesday
Reid (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid sat out Monday against the Spurs due to back spasms, and the same could happen Wednesday. If that's the case, Jarred Vanderbilt and Nathan Knight could see more action.
Mar 14, 2022
Sitting out Monday
Reid (back) won't play Monday against the Spurs, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid was considered questionable with back spasms and won't be available for Monday's contest. Nathan Knight and Tauren Prince will see more run in the frontcourt since Jarred Vanderbilt (quadriceps) is also out.
Mar 13, 2022
Questionable with back spasms
Reid (back) is listed as questionable Monday against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
The reserve big man is a new addition to the injury report, as he hasn't missed a game since Dec. 27. He's coming off of an 11-point, 10-rebound, three-steal, two-block double-double in Saturday's win over Miami.

Double-doubles from bench
Reid provided 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 24 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 victory over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Reid's production is humming along this month, as he posted his second double-double over four games. Reid's fantasy relevance is capped due to his seasonal average of only 15.9 minutes per game. It's also problematic when an elite center like Karl-Anthony Towns dominates the usage in the paint.
Mar 8, 2022
Shines off bench Monday
Reid amassed 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 124-81 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Reid enjoyed an uptick in playing time considering the game was a blowout, and he made the most of the opportunity while recording his first double-double since Jan. 2. He was dealing with a minor hamstring issue, but it's safe to say that didn't seem to bother him at all. Expect him to continue on a reserve role when the Timberwolves take on the Thunder on Wednesday, though a repetition of these numbers is not a realistic possibility.
Mar 7, 2022
Will play Monday
Reid (hamstring) will be available Monday against Portland, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid may be a little banged up, but he'll play through the hamstring issue and serve in his usual reserve role. He's coming off of a six-point, three-rebound outing against the Blazers on Saturday.
Mar 6, 2022
Dealing with hamstring injury
Reid is questionable for Monday's contest against Portland due to a right hamstring contusion.
ANALYSIS
Reid presumably picked up the injury during Saturday's blowout win over the Trail Blazers, but the extent of the issue remains unclear. If he's sidelined Monday, Jaden McDaniels and Nathan Knight would both be candidates for increased roles.
Mar 5, 2022
Pops for 20 points in win
Reid ended with 20 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Friday's 138-101 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid saw some additional run during the victory as the Timberwolves took care of business against the Thunder. The starters were given an early mark, allowing the second unit to take over, with Reid leading the charge. With Karl-Anthony Towns putting together a strong season, Reid has only had limited opportunities to shine, leaving him just a deep league asset.
Feb 11, 2022
Active Friday
Reid (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid will be able to suit up once again in spite of his bruised knee. He's scored in double figures in two of his last five appearances.
Feb 10, 2022
Questionable Friday
Reid (knee) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Reid is still dealing with a bruised knee but hasn't missed a game since Dec. 27. Over the past five games, he's averaged 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 14.2 minutes.
Feb 9, 2022
Available Wednesday
Reid (knee) is available for Wednesday's game at Sacramento, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid was questionable with a bruised knee and will continue to play through the injury. He's averaged 7.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 14.6 minutes over the past five games and should keep operating as Minnesota's backup center.
Feb 9, 2022
Questionable vs. Kings
Reid (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been dealing with a bruised knee lately, but it hasn't caused him to miss any time. If he sits out Wednesday, more minutes could be available for Nathan Knight and other bigs.
Feb 8, 2022
Available Tuesday
Reid (knee) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Kings, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
After initially being questionable, Reid will end up playing. He's seen double-digit minutes in 12 straight games, with averages of 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks over that span.
Feb 7, 2022
Dealing with bruised knee
Reid is questionable for Tuesday's game at Sacramento with a bruised right knee.
ANALYSIS
Reid suffered the injury in the closing stages of Sunday's loss to the Pistons, and it's unclear if he'll be able to take the court Tuesday. Nathan Knight and Jarred Vanderbilt could see more action as the backup center should Reid be unavailable versus the Kings.
Feb 7, 2022
Suffers late-game injury
Reid appeared to suffer a leg injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 118-105 loss to the Pistons and was unable to return, The Associated Press reports. He finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one steal and one block in 10 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Chris Finch said that Reid wanted to stay in the contest after he fell hard to the floor in the fourth quarter, but the Timberwolves opted to err on the side of caution with the outcome of the game in hand. The severity and nature of Reid's injury likely won't be known until Minnesota releases its first injury report ahead of the team's next game Tuesday in Sacramento.
Feb 1, 2022
Offers balanaced performance in win
Reid ended Tuesday's 130-115 win over Denver with 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Reid cashed in as the Timberwolves trounced the Nuggets, putting up low-volume across-the-board contributions. With Karl-Anthony Towns putting together a relatively campaign, Reid has been unable to carve out a 12-team worthy role. This does demonstrate what he can do when afforded additional playing time but as of where we sit right now, he should only be targeted in deeper formats.
Jan 19, 2022
Solid production in limited time
Reid provided nine points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 112-110 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
With the Timberwolves' frontcourt back to full strength, Reid continues to garner 10-to-20 minutes per game. Over his last seven games, the big man is averaging 6.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 12.4 minutes. While he's relatively productive during his limited playing time, Reid likely isn't worth fantasy consideration in his current role.
Jan 8, 2022
Scores 17 off bench
Reid closed Friday's 135-105 win over Oklahoma City with 17 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 20 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After starting three straight games, Reid was moved to the bench Wednesday and scored a season-low one point. However, he bounced back in a big way Friday, notching his 16th double-digit scoring performance of the season. Reid also blocked a season-high three shots in back-to-back games against the Thunder -- a mark he's reached just one other time this season. While he does a lot of dirty work for the Timberwolves, Reid's production hasn't translated to fantasy relevancy yet.
Jan 5, 2022
Shifting back to bench
Reid will come off the bench Wednesday against the Thunder, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With the return of Karl-Anthony Towns to the lineup following a six-game absence, Reid will move back to bench role after starting the team's last three games. The 22-year-old is averaging 9.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 17.2 minutes per game this season, and he should continue to see decent minutes as Towns' primary backup at center.
Dec 29, 2021
Limited bench role in return
Reid (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) played 12 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 96-88 loss to the Knicks, finishing with three points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block.
ANALYSIS
Though Reid was only in the protocols for two days and missed one game as a result, the Timberwolves didn't call on him to handle a major workload in his return, even with Karl-Anthony Towns still in the protocols. Instead, head coach Chris Finch deployed Reid as the primary backup at power forward to Jaden McDaniels, while Nathan Knight and Greg Monroe covered the minutes at center while Towns remained out. Minnesota could remain without Towns for Friday's game in Utah, but it's unclear if Reid will benefit from a major uptick in playing time.
Dec 28, 2021
Coming off bench in return
Reid (COVID-19 protocols) will come off the bench Tuesday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Reid surprisingly will end up missing just one game in protocols, though he'll come off the bench behind Nathan Knight in his return. Reid figures to still see plenty of extra action with Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19 protocols) still sidelined.
Dec 28, 2021
Available Tuesday
Reid will be available to play in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid was removed from COVID protocols earlier in the day, but there was still some question as to whether he'd be active. The Wolves have since confirmed that the big man will be available, meaning he'll have missed only one game while in protocols.
Dec 28, 2021
Removed from COVID-19 protocols
Reid cleared the league's health and safety protocols Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid, along with Anthony Edwards and Taurean Prince, all cleared COVID-19 protocols. However, the trio won't be available for Tuesday's contest against the Knicks due to conditioning issues. The Timberwolves don't play again until Friday, so that should give them plenty of time to ramp-up their conditioning before potentially making their return to game action.
Dec 26, 2021
Enters COVID-19 protocols
Reid was placed in the league's health and safety protocols Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Reid posted a double-double while filling in for Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19 protocols) on Thursday, but he'll now be forced to miss time. While it's not yet clear whether Reid has tested positive for COVID-19, he'll need to spend some time away from the team. Nathan Knight, Chris Silva and Greg Monroe should see increased run while Towns, Reid and Jarred Vanderbilt (COVID-19 protocols) are unavailable.
Dec 24, 2021
Posts double-double in KAT's stead
Reid recorded 17 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 128-116 loss to Utah.
ANALYSIS
Reid got his second start of the season with Karl-Anthony Towns placed in COVID-19 protocols earlier in the day. As in his previous starting opportunity, Reid was effective as a scorer and rebounder, finishing Thursday's game with his first double-double of the campaign. Towns' eventual return will undoubtedly cut into Reid's fantasy value, but the third-year center should be a worthwhile short-term pickup for those in need of big-man stats and a sprinkling of treys.
Dec 23, 2021
Cleared to play
Reid (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
With Karl-Anthony Towns entering protocols, Reid should have an opportunity to see an expanded role. In his one start this season, he totaled 19 points, seven rebounds and one assist, and he's shown an ability to put up big per-minute numbers in the past.
Dec 22, 2021
Questionable vs. Jazz
Reid is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Jazz due to a bruised left calf.
ANALYSIS
Reid hasn't benefited much from the team's COVID absences since he's still behind Karl-Anthony Towns on the depth chart. If he sits out Thursday, more minutes could be available for Chris Silva and Nathan Knight.
Dec 10, 2021
Limited role continues Friday
Reid contributed eight points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds in 14 minutes during Friday's 123-106 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Reid was limited to just 14 minutes in the loss, a number that is obviously far from ideal when it comes to fantasy production. Despite some per-minute upside, Reid would need a long-term injury to Karl-Anthony Towns to be considered a viable commodity in standard leagues.
Dec 3, 2021
Starting Friday
Reid will get the spot-start at center in Friday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Reid will replace Karl-Anthony Towns (back) at center. It will be the big man's first start of the season. He will presumably be looking at a bigger workload than usual as a result.
Nov 30, 2021
Leads second unit in scoring
Reid posted 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a block across 23 minutes off the bench during a 100-98 win over the Pacers on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Reid now has back-to-back 13 point games after failing to score double figures in six contests prior. He also logged a team high in plus-minus at plus-20. Reid has been a beneficiary of Jarred Vanderbilt (illness) missing time, but will likely be relegated to fantasy irrelevance upon his return. Reid is best viewed as a viable streaming option if Karl-Anthony Towns is inactive.
Nov 22, 2021
Active vs. Pels
Reid (foot) is available to play Monday against New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Josh Okogie (back) is the only Minnesota player listed as inactive, meaning Reid will dress and be available off the bench. He was previously listed as questionable due to a foot injury.
Nov 21, 2021
Questionable Monday
Reid (foot) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-9 forward has been dealing with a foot injury all season long, but still was able to play 15 minutes during the Timberwolves' last contest. If Reid can't suit up, Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince emerge as candidates for more opportunities.
Nov 20, 2021
Cleared to play
Reid (foot) is available for Saturday's tilt against the Grizzlies, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing two of the past three games, Reid will be on the court Saturday. His presence could mean reduced minutes for Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaden McDaniels.
Nov 19, 2021
Questionable vs. Memphis
Reid (foot) is questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Reid has missed two out of the past three games. His potential return could mean a slight reduction in minutes for Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaden McDaniels.
Nov 18, 2021
Ruled out during game vs. Spurs
Reid is out against the Spurs on Thursday because of a foot injury, according to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves ruled Reid out during their ongoing game, though multiple previous reports indicated he was healthy.
Nov 18, 2021
Active Thursday
Reid (foot) is not listed on Minnesota's injury report for Thursday's contest against the Spurs
ANALYSIS
The forward came into Thursday with a questionable tag but will be available for the Timberwolves' contest against San Antonio. Reid is averaging 9.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game on the year thus far, however, both of those figures are slightly down from his totals last season.
Nov 18, 2021
Questionable Thursday
Reid (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reid continues to deal with right foot soreness, but he was able to play through the injury in the first half of the back-to-back set Wednesday. During the win over Sacramento, he recorded eight points, two rebounds and two block in 13 minutes.
Nov 17, 2021
Available Wednesday
Reid (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid missed his first game of the year on Monday but he is set to return to the court on Wednesday against Sacramento. The 22-year-old is averaging 9.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game this season, and he should see his usual workload as long as the foot issue is resolved.
Nov 17, 2021
'Leaning towards' playing Wednesday
Reid (foot) is "leaning towards" playing Wednesday against the Kings, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid sat out with right foot soreness Monday against the Suns, but there's a good chance he returns Wednesday. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 10.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.6 minutes.
Nov 16, 2021
May return Wednesday
Reid (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Reid was also considered questionable for Monday's contest before being ruled out due to right foot soreness. The 22-year-old should reclaim his role as Minnesota's backup center once available.
Nov 15, 2021
Ruled out
Reid (foot) won't play in Monday's game against Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Reid was labeled as questionable leading up to Monday's matchup due to soreness in his right foot, and the team has ultimately ruled him out. His next opportunity to return arrives Wednesday against Sacramento.
Nov 15, 2021
Questionable for Monday's contest
Reid (foot) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Reid landed on the injury report Monday with right foot soreness and is questionable for Minnesota's matchup with Phoenix. The LSU product has appeared in every game for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 9.2 points and 3.2 rebounds across 15.8 minutes per game. If he is unable to suit up against the Suns, then Jarred Vanderbilt will likely see increased minutes in a reserve role behind Karl-Anthony Towns.
Nov 2, 2021
Full participant at practice
Reid (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, freelance NBA reporter Dane Moore reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid picked up a shoulder injury, but it doesn't appear that it will sideline him for any games. The 6-foot-9 big man has appeared in every contest this season and is averaging 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks across 14.7 minutes per game.
Oct 21, 2021
Gets seven rebounds off bench
Reid scored five points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) with seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes in Tuesday's season-opening win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Reid had a strong preseason which prompted talk from head coach Chris Finch that he wanted to have him and Karl-Anthony Towns on the floor at the same time during games. Reid got more minutes in a blowout win than he may usually get and wasn't used with Towns, but he's still a player to watch as his usage could increase in games where Minnesota needs a bigger front court or if he starts providing a spark off the bench.
May 17, 2021
Doesn't miss in win
Reid scored 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and grabbed five rebounds in 17 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 win over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid finished the regular season by scoring double-digits in four straight games, averaging 13.0 points and 4.8 rebounds on 57.9 percent shooting from the field. The 6-foot-9 forward brings a ton of energy off the bench, but it'll be interesting to monitor if Reid can break into the starting lineup next year. In 15 games as a starter this year, the former-Tiger averaged 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds.
May 14, 2021
Scores 10 points off bench
Reid mustered 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, a steal and a block across 31 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been coming off the bench most of the season but remains a decent play in deeper formats. He has scored in double digits in five of his last seven contests, averaging 11.7 points per game in that span.
Apr 27, 2021
Scores 13 in narrow victory
Reid scored 13 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT) with two rebounds and one block in a 105-104 victory over the Jazz on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Reid scored in double figures for the fifth time in his last six games thanks to some efficient shooting. The center has been the team's fourth-leading scorer over that stretch, averaging 13.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. In his second season, Reid has carved out a role in Minnesota's rotation but is not a player to target outside of deeper leagues.
Apr 22, 2021
Blossoms for 24 points
Reid tallied 24 points (11-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot over 24 minutes in a loss to the Kings on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Reid came off the bench in the contest, but it was hard to keep him off the floor as he converted 11-of-15 field-goal attempts. His 24 points are the most he has recorded since scoring 29 in a start against Oklahoma City on Feb. 6. Reid has shown tangible improvement in his second NBA season. Though his minutes aren't always consistent, he is posting per-game averages of 11.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocked shots -- each improvements over his rookie marks last season.
Apr 19, 2021
Solid output off bench
Reid posted 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and a block across 21 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Reid's numbers have taken a hit since the return of Karl-Anthony Towns to the team, but he's still capable of putting decent figures from time to time. Despite being confined to a bench role, Reid has scored in double figures in three of his last five appearances while grabbing at least seven rebounds in each of his last three contests.
Apr 14, 2021
Big all-around game in spot start
Reid posted nine points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Making another start in place of Karl-Anthony Towns (personal), Reid took full advantage, leading all players in rebounds and adding excellent defensive production in 31 minutes. It was an encouraging bounceback for the second-year pro, who finished with just two points, three boards and two blocks in 17 minutes Tuesday versus Brooklyn. Reid will likely return to the bench Friday against Miami, assuming Towns is back in action.
Apr 13, 2021
Flops in start
Reid was held to two points (1-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in Tuesday's loss to Brooklyn, contributing three rebounds and two blocks in 16 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The blocks were nice, but the 21-year-old failed to take advantage of the extra opportunity with Karl Anthony-Towns (personal) out of the lineup. Before Tuesday's game, Reid was averaging 12.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 0.7 blocks over his past six games off the bench. It's unclear if Towns will return to the lineup Wednesday, but either way, Reid will look to bounce back Wednesday at home against the Bucks.
Apr 13, 2021
Starting Tuesday's game
Reid will start Tuesday against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
With Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) sidelined, Reid is set to receive his first start since early February. In his previous four starts, Reid posted averages of 15.0 points on 50.0 percent shooting, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, so he could be in line for a nice outing Tuesday.
Apr 12, 2021
Erupts in bench role
Reid scored 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and added two assists and one rebound across 28 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Timberwolves' 121-117 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota's centers had their way with the Bulls, as starter Karl-Anthony Towns also went off for 27 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in 37 minutes. Head coach Chris Finch ran Reid and Towns together more than usual Sunday, but that trend can't be counted on to continue in future contests, which will make it tough to rely on the second-year big man to regularly clear 20 minutes. Over his prior 16 appearances, Reid cleared the 20-minute mark on only two occasions.
Apr 8, 2021
Another strong game Wednesday
Reid posted 16 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and five rebounds in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 141-127 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Reid racked up plenty of points and rebounds relative to his workload in what was an absolute track meet of a basketball game. He's been strong over the past four games, as he's averaged 12.3 points on 60.0 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 19.3 minutes. That said, Reid's fantasy value is minimal for standard fantasy leagues unless Karl-Anthony Towns misses extended time.
Apr 6, 2021
Chips in across box score
Reid scored 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt) to go along with seven rebounds, one steal and one block across 21 minutes in Monday's win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Reid reached double-digit points for the second time in his last three games. He also continued to produce defensively, as he's now averaged 1.2 blocks across his last six games despite averaging only 16.2 minutes in that span.
Apr 2, 2021
Productive off bench
Reid delivered 18 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and an assist across 23 minutes in Friday's loss against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been coming off the bench regularly now that Karl-Anthony Towns is healthy and that has undoubtedly reduced his upside, but the big man is still capable of putting up strong stat lines when given enough minutes. He was coming off three straight single-digit scoring performances but has scored in double digits in all but three appearances when playing at least 20 minutes.
Mar 31, 2021
Non-factor Wednesday
Reid registered six points (2-7 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist during Wednesday's win over New York.
ANALYSIS
The center once again wasn't a factor for the Wolves, as Reid managed just 28.6 percent shooting over 15 minutes of action. Since posting 16 points in 17 minutes against the Rockets last Friday, Reid has totaled just 10 points across the last three games.
Mar 17, 2021
Plays just 13 minutes in loss
Reid had six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 13 minutes Tuesday against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid had a nice run of production in late January and early February, but the Wolves have mostly moved away from the LSU product in recent weeks. The return of Karl-Anthony Towns from a wrist injury/COVID-19 was the primary catalyst, but Minnesota has recently favored Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaden McDaniels over Reid, who's topped 20 minutes just once in his last seven games.
Feb 28, 2021
Productive in limited minutes
Reid delivered 17 points (8-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, a rebound, a steal and a block across 18 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Reid has shifted between the starting lineup and the bench this season, but he has assumed a secondary role following the return of Karl-Anthony Towns -- and he has been thriving as a second-unit threat. Reid has scored in double digits in six of his last 10 games while playing more than 20 minutes just once in that span. He is averaging 11.0 points per game off the bench over his last 10 appearances.
Feb 25, 2021
Thriving behind Towns
Reid is averaging 10.3 points (on 48.1 percent shooting from the field), 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 three-pointers in 17.1 minutes per game in nine outings since returning to a bench role Feb. 10.
ANALYSIS
Reid's move back to the bench coincided with the return of Karl-Anthony Towns, who was sidelined for just over three weeks while recovering from COVID-19. The transition to the second unit has predictably come with a drop in minutes and production, but Reid has at least been able to maintain some level of usefulness in 14-team leagues and deeper. Unless new head coach Chris Finch elects to deploy Reid alongside Towns more frequently, however, it's difficult to see Reid's numbers improving from this level.
Feb 22, 2021
Productive off bench
Reid totaled 11 points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and eight rebounds over 17 minutes in Sunday's 103-99 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Reid was held to just four points Friday, but he shot 75 percent from the floor against the Knicks on Sunday to score in double figures once again. He's now scored at least 10 points in three of the last four games and has had consistent playing time since returning to a bench role.
Feb 10, 2021
Scores team-high 23 points
Reid notched 23 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and a steal across 20 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's loss against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Reid was coming off four straight starts and averaged 15.0 points with 7.0 rebounds during that span, but the move to the bench didn't affect him at all. Reid might not be able to be as productive as he was here on a nightly basis, particularly with Karl-Anthony Towns back in the lineup, but he has proven to be a reliable scoring threat this season regardless of his role. Reid has scored 10-plus points in 16 games already, and he has failed to reach that mark just seven times all season long.
Feb 10, 2021
Moves back to bench
Reid will come off the bench Wednesday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old started in 10 of his last 11 appearances, but he'll shift back to the bench with Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19 protocols) returning to the court Wednesday. Reid operated as Minnesota's primary center during that stretch, so he'll be relegated to a bench role now that Towns is back.
Feb 7, 2021
Leads team with 29 points
Reid turned in 29 points (12-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes in Saturday's 120-118 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Saturday marked Reid's best scoring total as a placeholder for Karl-Anthony Towns. That role is currently shared with Jarred Vanderbilt, but Reid is the prime beneficiary in the scenario. When Towns returns, Reid's numbers will take a massive hit, but he's played well enough to merit significant numbers in the second init. The 6-9 LSU product will also provide support at power forward in the future.
Feb 6, 2021
Starting Saturday
Reid (wrist) is starting Saturday against Oklahoma City, freelance NBA reporter Dane Moore reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was considered probable with a right wrist sprain, so it's no surprise he's good to go Saturday. Karl-Anthony Towms (COVID-19 protocols) remains unavailable, so Reid should continue operating at Minnesota's top center.
Feb 6, 2021
Probable Saturday
Reid is probable for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid continues to deal with a sprained right wrist but will likely still play. Since joining the starting five in Karl-Anthony Towns' (COVID-19) absence, Reid is averaging 13.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.3 assists in 25.9 minutes.
Feb 5, 2021
Nears double-double
Reid registered 17 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, an assist and a block across 28 minutes in Friday's win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid was doubtful due to a wrist injury, but he was deemed healthy enough to start and he responded with a strong performance -- he ended just one rebound shy of putting up his second double-double of the season. Despite shifting between the starting lineup and the bench, and knowing Reid's upside is heavily tied to Karl-Anthony Towns' (illness) availability, the former LSU product has responded -- he has scored in double digits in seven of the Timberwolves' last eight contests, averaging 14.3 points per game during that eight-game span.
Feb 5, 2021
Starting Friday
Reid (wrist) is starting Friday's game against Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Reid was dealing with a sprained right wrist ahead of Friday's game, but he'll be in the starting five against the Thunder. He played 32 minutes while playing through the injury Wednesday and is unlikely to have any limitations Friday.
Feb 4, 2021
Probable for Friday
Reid (wrist) is probable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid is dealing with a sprained wrist, but he'll likely still play Friday. He drew the start with the injury Wednesday, playing 32 minutes and posting eight points, 11 boards, three assists and two steals.
Feb 3, 2021
Ready to play Wednesday
Reid (wrist) is available Wednesday against the Spurs, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was considered probable with a sprained right wrist, so his availalbity for Wednesday was never truly in question. Reid didn't start Monday in his return from a two-game absence, but he could rejoin the starting five against San Antonio with Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19 protocols) still sidelined.
Feb 2, 2021
Probable with sprained wrist
Reid (wrist) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Reid was limited to 13 minutes off the bench in Monday's narrow loss to the Cavs, but he looks to have emerged without aggravating his sprained right wrist. With Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19 protocols) set to miss another game, there's a chance Reid could move back into the starting five Wednesday.
Feb 1, 2021
Active Monday
Reid (wrist) is active but won't start in Monday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Reid has been dealing with a wrist injury that has kept him sidelined over the past two games but that will end Monday. Reid will also come off the bench for the first time since Jan. 13, breaking a streak of six straight starts. Ed Davis is making his third consecutive start.
Feb 1, 2021
To be game-time call
Reid (wrist) will be a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Dane Moore of BlueWire reports.
ANALYSIS
This was also the case heading into Sunday's game against Cleveland, and Reid was ultimately ruled out with a sprained left wrist. The hope is that the result will be different this time around, but if Reid is sidelined again, expect veteran Ed Davis to make another start at center.
Feb 1, 2021
Officially questionable Monday
Reid (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
A sprained left wrist kept Reid out of a second straight game Sunday night, but he was a game-time decision, so it's possible he could progress toward making his return Monday. Keep a close eye on Reid's status closer to tip-off, as Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19 protocols) has already been ruled out.
Jan 31, 2021
Ruled out Sunday
Reid (wrist) won't play Sunday against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Reid was a game-time decision leading up to Sunday's contest after participating in pregame warmups, but he'll be unavailable for a second straight game. Ed Davis will start at center against Cleveland, and Jarred Vanderbilt could also see increased run for Minnesota.
Jan 30, 2021
Questionable vs. Cavs
Reid (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was a late scratch Friday due to a right wrist sprain, and availability versus the Cavaliers is also up in the air. Reid started the previous six games and likely would start again Sunday if available since Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) remains sidelined.
Jan 29, 2021
Late scratch Friday
Reid (wrist) won't play Friday against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Reid wasn't initially listed among the inactive players for Friday's game, but the team ruled the center out just before the start of the game. Ed Davis should handle the majority of the duties at center Friday, but Jarred Vanderbilt could also see a slightly increased role as well.
Jan 29, 2021
Active off bench
Reid (wrist) is active for Friday's game against the 76ers but isn't in the starting five.
ANALYSIS
Reid was a late addition to Friday's injury report due to a sprained right wrist, but he'll be able to suit up against Philadelphia. Although Ed Davis is starting, Reid could still play a fairly prominent role since Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) remains sidelined.
Jan 29, 2021
Added to injury report
Reid is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers due to a sprained right wrist.
ANALYSIS
Reid is a late addition to Friday's injury report. With Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) still sidelined, Reid's potential absence would mean an even thinner center rotation. If he's out, Ed Davis and Jarred Vanderbilt would presumably see most of the run at center.
Jan 28, 2021
Swats five shots Wednesday
Reid tallied 19 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and five blocked shots in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Reid's performance was arguably the finest of his young career as he fell one point shy of his career high in scoring while tying his career best in steals (three) and setting a new career mark in blocks (five). He also drained a shot from beyond the arc for the 10th consecutive game, emphasizing the versatile skillset he provides from the center position. Though his value is likely to take a substantial hit with the eventual return of Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19), Reid has proven that he can sustain moderate fantasy value this season with per-game averages of 12.1 points, 4.8 rebounds 1.1 treys and 1.6 blocked shots.
Jan 26, 2021
Claims first double-double
Reid finished with 11 points (5-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 24 minutes Monday in the Timberwolves' 130-108 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Reid's efficiency remains an issue compared to most other centers around the league, but there's no denying his ability to put up useful numbers when given meaningful run. While stepping into a starting role at center in place of Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) for the past five games, Reid has averaged 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 1.4 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per game. He'll be worth holding in the short term, but with Towns potentially set to rejoin the Timberwolves by the end of the week, Reid's value will have an expiration date.
Jan 23, 2021
Scores season-best 20 points
Reid registered 20 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a block across 27 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Vanderbilt's minutes and upside should decrease once Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) is ready to return, but he has been enjoying a solid run as a starter thus far -- he is averaging 14.0 points and 4.3 rebounds per game over his last four appearances. Reid might be ready for a bigger role in the rotation even when Towns returns, though, as he has scored in double digits in 10 of his 15 games this season.
Jan 23, 2021
Blocks four shots in Friday's loss
Reid totaled 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, four blocks, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 116-98 loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
This is about as good as it gets for Reid and could well be his best game of the season. With Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) still sidelined, Reid is getting a good chance to see meaningful minutes. Until Towns returns to action, Reid is fine to have on a 12-team roster, although as mentioned earlier, don't expect performances like this every night.
Jan 20, 2021
Puts up 14 points in loss
Reid registered 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and an assist across 29 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Reid continues to produce when given the chance and has scored in double digits in four of his five starts this season. He has also registered double-digit scoring performances in eight of his last 11 contests, and he should remain fairly productive as long as Karl-Anthony Towns (COVID-19) remains out.
Jan 20, 2021
Scores nine points as starter
Reid scored nine points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt) while adding two rebounds, an assist, two steals and a block across 28 minutes in Monday's loss against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Reid got the start at center with Karl-Anthony Towns being out due to COVID-19, and he scored nine points for the second game in a row while also filling out the stat sheet. Reid has scored 10 or more points in seven of his last 10 games and is expected to remain in the starting five as long as Towns remains out, which should translate into an uptick of his numbers across the baord.
Jan 9, 2021
Efficient off the bench
Reid totaled 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 16 minutes during the 125-122 overtime loss to the Spurs on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
The LSU rookie fell just shy of tying his career-high in points (17) despite playing in only 16 minutes. Reid has shown he can be a scorer, going for double-digit points in six of nine games despite hitting the 20-minute plateau in only four games. He has now grabbed five or more rebounds in five games, including Saturday's career-high of seven.
Jan 6, 2021
Logs season-low 10 minutes
Reid scored just two points (1-2 FG) in 10 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss at Denver.
ANALYSIS
Reid had played at least 20 minutes while scoring at least 10 points in each of his last four games (three starts), but he was barely an option for the coaching staff Tuesday and that was reflected in his production levels. With Juancho Hernangomez thriving as a starter -- he scored 25 points on 10-of-14 shooting -- Reid could easily remain on a bench role for Thursday's contest against the Blazers on the road.
Jan 4, 2021
Serviceable line despite demotion
Reid totaled 13 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's 124-109 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Reid shifted to the bench, allowing Juancho Hernangomez to slide up into the starting lineup. It is unclear if this was simply a matchup-based decision or a look to the immediate future. Nonetheless, Reid has the most upside of all the current center options and he should be rostered in all standard formats until Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) returns to action.
Jan 3, 2021
Retreats to bench
Reid isn't starting Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Reid started each of the last three games for the Timberwolves and scored in double figures during each of those contests. Ed Davis will start at center in his place Sunday, and it's not yet clear whether Reid will reclaim a spot in the starting five after the team's game against Denver.
Jan 2, 2021
Scores season-high 17 points
Reid scored 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding six rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal across 24 minutes in Friday's loss against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Reid has started the last three games due to Karl-Anthony Towns' wrist injury, and he has taken advantage of the opportunity -- he has scored in double digits in each of those contests while averaging 4.7 rebounds during that three-game stretch. Reid will probably remain in the starting lineup until Towns is healthy enough to return, which means he could easily start Sunday against the Nuggets as well.
Dec 27, 2020
Starting in place of KAT
Reid will start Sunday's game against the Lakers in place of the injured Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist), Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Reid will move into the starting lineup, and he'll likely hold onto the role for at least the next several games. In the opener against Detroit, Reid had eight points, five rebounds and three blocks. He followed up with eight points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 18 minutes Saturday versus Utah.
Dec 24, 2020
Gets 18 minutes in win
Reid scored eight points (2-5 FG, 4-6 FT) with five rebounds and three blocks in 18 minutes in Wednesday's win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Reid got all the minutes as the backup center over Ed Davis, who did not get off the bench. Reid could be a source of rebounds and blocks in deeper formats if he continues to get 18 minutes a game off the bench.
Dec 18, 2020
BIg minutes in injury return
Reid scored 14 points (5-15 FG, 0-4 3PT, 4-6 FT), had seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal during 26 minutes of Thursday's 129-127 preseason win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Reid returned from missing out on Minnesota's game Monday through injury, but posted big minutes to alleviate any concerns about his health moving forward. The center logged the second most minutes of anyone in the game and used the time on the court to post team-highs in blocks and steals, while ending with the second most rebounds on the team.
Dec 17, 2020
Not on injury report
Reid is not on the injury report for Thursday's preseason game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid was held out of Monday's exhibition for precautionary purposes, but all indications are that he'll make his preseason debut Thursday night.
Dec 14, 2020
Likely out Monday
Although Reid (not injury related) went through Monday's shootaround, he is not expected to play in the Timberwolve's matchup with Grizzlies, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves plan on easing Reid back in the swing of things and get some practices under his belt. The big man recently joined the team following self-isolation.
Dec 12, 2020
Out Saturday
Reid is self-isolating and is not with the Timberwolves for Saturday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
It's not clear how long Reid will be self-isolating for, but he'll have to ramp up once joining the team, so it seems unlikely he'll play in Monday's game, either.
Mar 7, 2020
Drops 16 points Friday
Reid amassed 16 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes during Friday's 132-118 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Reid continues to fire away at will, ending with 16 points on 15 shot attempts. Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) is set to miss at least two more weeks and so Reid should be on everyone's radar in standard formats. The efficiency is clearly an obstacle for the rookie; however, the Timberwolves are committed to getting him on the floor and his energy alone typically lends itself to decent fantasy production.
Mar 4, 2020
Strong double-double
Reid recorded 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 25 minutes Wednesday, as the Timberwolves beat the Bulls 115-108.
ANALYSIS
His second double-double in as many games, Reid notched five offensive rebounds while playing strong defense --- including a dramatic swatting of a Coby White layup --- and rediscovering his stroke from distance. Reid is developing an enticing floor in the absence of Karl Anthony-Towns (wrist).
Mar 4, 2020
Career-high 14 rebounds in win
Reid posted 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 139-134 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Reid's performance was arguably the best of his young career, and it helped fuel the Timberwolves to an upset victory. Only six other players this season have posted a performance with at least 13 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks. Since joining the starting lineup Feb. 21, Reid is averaging 10.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks across 25.4 minutes.
Feb 26, 2020
Quiet in limited minutes
Reid had nine points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3PT, 1-3 FT) and three rebounds in Wednesday's win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Reid continues to fill in for Karl-Anthony Towns in the starting lineup, but he threw up a dud for fantasy owners on Wednesday night. Reid's struggles can primarily be attributed to the fact that foul trouble limited him to just 19 minutes of action. However, in his last game against Dallas on Monday, Reid played 27 minutes and finished with just six points and five boards, though he did add three blocks.
Feb 22, 2020
Impresses in first career start
Reid scored 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, three steals and one assist in 33 minutes during Friday's 127-117 loss against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Reid got his first start of the season with Karl-Anthony Towns sidelined due to a wrist injury, and he made a positive impact on both ends of the court. He should remain in this role ahead of Sunday's tough matchup at Denver.
Feb 21, 2020
Starting for injured Towns
Reid will start Friday's contest against the Celtics, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reid will be making the first start of his career as Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) continues to be sidelined. In the three games this season that Reid has seen at least 20 minutes, he's averaged 12.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 block.
Feb 13, 2020
Sees boost with Towns out
Reid played a season-high 22 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Timberwolves' 115-108 loss to the Hornets, finishing with 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one steal and one block.
ANALYSIS
With Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) sidelined, the Timberwolves chose to roll out a small-ball starting five featuring James Johnson at center, but Reid still saw a boost in playing time while the star big man was sidelined. Now that Gorgui Dieng is in Memphis, Reid looks like he'll have a clear path to a rotation spot for the rest of the season. The rookie has appeared in four consecutive games, averaging 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 14.8 minutes over that stretch while shooting 48.4 percent from the floor.
Feb 8, 2020
Deemed backup center
Reid will be the Timberwolves' backup center moving forward, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
With Gorgui Dieng traded, Reid will step into a true rotational role. When seeing double-digit minutes, he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assist.
Feb 5, 2020
Scores 10 in 13 minutes
Reid chipped in 10 points, two rebounds and two blocks in 13 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Tied for the second-highest scorer of the team at half-time, Reid was on fire in the second quarter, helping to keep the Timberwolves in the game with 10 points and two blocks in just seven minutes. He even hit two of his three attempts from beyond the arc in that span. Unfortunately, he didn't get to contribute much in the final two quarters as Minnesota tried to push for their first victory in 13 games. Reid is a smooth big man with a solid frame, above-average handles for his position and improving deep-range stroke. He has some decent fantasy upside, but has yet to receive enough opportunity to showcase it. The 20-year old is nowhere near a "must-add" player, but is worth keeping an eye on to see if his role grows down the stretch of the season.
Feb 4, 2020
Bumped out of rotation
Reid (coach's decision) didn't see the floor Monday in the Timberwolves' 113-109 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Reid has gone unused off the bench in three of the Timberwolves' last seven games and looks to be no better than fifth in the team's frontcourt pecking order behind Karl-Anthony Towns, Robert Covington, Gorgui Dieng and Jordan Bell.
Jan 14, 2020
Scores 20 off bench
Reid had 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one board, one assist, and one block in 18 minutes against OKC on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Reid came off the bench to lead the Timberwolves in scoring in his career-best effort. The rookie did most of his damage from deep while seeing extended playing time with Karl-Anthony Towns (toe) still out. Reid has proven he can be a capable scorer, but now needs to hone in on his consistency as he sees the floor with more regularity.
Dec 8, 2019
Off injury report
Reid (shoulder) doesn't appear on the Timberwolves' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Reid was listed on the injury report ahead of both of the Timberwolves' past two games with right shoulder soreness, ultimately sitting out both contests. Though his absence from the report implies that he's ostensibly healthy, Reid isn't a member of coach Ryan Saunders' rotation and isn't a lock to see minutes Sunday. The undrafted rookie may have a better chance at making his NBA debut than usual, however, as three other Timberwolves (Jake Layman, Andrew Wiggins and Jeff Teague) are listed as either out or questionable. Additionally, Minnesota is also down another three bodies in Kelan Martin, Jaylen Nowell and Jordan McLaughlin, who are all with the G League's Iowa Wolves.
Dec 6, 2019
Ruled out
Reid (shoulder) won't play Friday against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid hasn't made his season debut yet, due to both a shoulder injury and his place in the rotation. His next chance to return will come Sunday against the Lakers.
Dec 5, 2019
Questionable Friday
Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Reid hasn't made his professional debut yet this season after coming down with a right shoulder injury. Even if he's ultimately cleared to play Friday, there's a good chance that he'll not crack a spot in the lineup due to being buried on the depth chart.
Dec 4, 2019
Ruled out Wednesday
Reid (shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Reid has yet to appear for the Timberwolves this season as he's struggled through injury issues and G-League assignments. His next opportunity to make his NBA debut will be Friday against the Thunder.
