Keep up with the latest injuries from the Timberwolves vs Warriors game on Friday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 8, 2025
Will play Monday
Shannon (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Shannon is under the weather but will shed his questionable tag Monday. The second-year swingman has logged single-digit minutes in three consecutive contests, though he could see a bump in minutes against Phoenix if Anthony Edwards (illness) is ultimately downgraded from questionable to out.
Dec 8, 2025
Iffy for Monday
Shannon (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
A bug is going through the locker room, and Shannon and Anthony Edwards (illness) are both currently day-to-day as a result. Shannon has been used sparingly over his last seven games with an average of 10.8 minutes per contest.
Dec 7, 2025
Plays five minutes in win
Shannon totaled two points (1-3 FG) in five minutes during Saturday's 109-106 victory over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Shannon has been a fringe rotation player of late, logging single-digit minutes in three consecutive contests. The second-year swingman has averaged 6.1 points in just 10.7 minutes per game over seven appearances following a nine-game absence due to a left foot bone bruise, and he isn't guaranteed to see significant minutes unless a key contributor gets injured.
Nov 30, 2025
Adds 10 points in win
Shannon notched 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across 17 minutes during Saturday's 119-115 victory over Boston.
ANALYSIS
Shannon tied the bench-high mark in points for the Timberwolves and was one of six Minnesota players to reach double figures. The second-year swingman posted zero points in his return from a nine-game absence due to a bone bruise in his left foot during Monday's overtime loss to the Kings, though he has totaled 28 points over his last two appearances. He'll likely continue providing a spark off the bench and is expected to maintain a relatively consistent role.
Nov 27, 2025
Scores 18 points on seven shots
Shannon supplied 18 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Shannon seemingly couldn't miss Wednesday night, and with 18 points on the evening, he scored more points than he had in his previous five outings combined. We'll need to see a repeat performance before recommending Shannon as an add in fantasy leagues.
Nov 24, 2025
Good to go Monday
Shannon (foot) will play Monday against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Shannon hasn't seen the court since Nov. 3 while rehabbing from a bone bruise in his left foot, but he was cleared for 5-on-5 work over the weekend and is now getting the green light to return to live action. He'll presumably come off the bench Monday in Sacramento.
Nov 23, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Shannon (foot) has been cleared for 5-on-5 activities and is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shannon has missed the last nine games due to a left foot fifth metatarsal bone bruise, but he seems to be nearing a return as he has been cleared for full contact and upgraded to questionable ahead of Monday's contest. If Shannon is ultimately unable to suit up, Jaylen Clark will likely see an increased role again.
Nov 14, 2025
Out another week
Shannon (foot) will be re-evaluated in one week, the Timberwolves announced Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
An MRI revealed a left foot fifth metatarsal bone bruise, and he'll likely miss another five games as a result -- the team initially described his injury as soreness. While Shannon is sidelined, the team could continue to lean on Jaylen Clark a bit more.
Nov 13, 2025
Out again Thursday
Shannon will miss Friday's game against the Kings due to a left fifth metatarsal bone bruise.
ANALYSIS
What was initially being listed as a sore foot injury is now being described as a fifth metatarsal bone bruise, which is more specific and a bit more severe of a foot issue. Friday will mark Shannon's fifth straight game on the sidelines, and it's not a great sign that he's getting ruled out 24 hours in advance of tip-off. The Timberwolves have been sparse with the updates, so for now, we'll consider Shannon week-to-week.
Nov 10, 2025
Listed out Monday
Shannon (foot) is out for Monday's game against Utah.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a left foot injury. His next opportunity to take the court arrives Friday against the Kings. In Shannon's absence, Jaylen Clark and Bones Hyland could see an uptick in minutes in Minnesota's tight rotation.
Nov 9, 2025
Won't go Sunday
Shannon (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will remain out for a third straight game due to left foot soreness. The wing has averaged 16.4 minutes across seven appearances this season, and with him sidelined, reserves Jaylen Clark and Bones Hyland could see added opportunities. Shannon's next chance to return will come Monday on the second half of the back-to-back against the Jazz.
Nov 8, 2025
Iffy for Sunday
Shannon (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Shannon is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest due to left foot soreness. If the second-year swingman is ultimately ruled out, Jaylen Clark and Bones Hyland are candidates for a bump in minutes.
Nov 7, 2025
Confirmed out for Friday
Shannon (foot) will not play Friday against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will miss his second contest in a row Friday. In his absence, Jaylen Clark could see a larger role in the second unit. Shannon's next chance to play comes Sunday against the Kings.
Nov 6, 2025
Questionable with foot soreness
Shannon is questionable for Friday's game against Utah with left foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Shannon is looking to return from a one-game absence Friday. If he cannot get the green light, Jaylen Clark would have an opportunity to play a more prominent role from the second unit.
Nov 5, 2025
Scratched Wednesday
Shannon (foot) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to left foot soreness.
ANALYSIS
Shannon was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday due to a left foot issue that will sidelined him. Jaylen Clark is the likeliest candidate to see more minutes while Shannon sits. Shannon's next chance to play will come Friday against Utah.
Oct 30, 2025
Scoreless in 16 minutes
Shannon provided zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
This was another tough showing for Shannon, as he's been unable to live up to the offseason hype thus far. Through five regular-season contests, he's shooting 33.3 percent from the field with averages of 4.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per night. He's just a watch-list candidate for now in case he finds his rhythm while Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is out.
Oct 23, 2025
Logs diverse line from banch
Shannon notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 victory over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Shannon's results weren't surprising considering his excellent returns during Summer League and his frequent usage in the preseason, While the 2024 first-round pick's numbers are encouraging, he's still one or two injuries away from making a significant fantasy impact.
Oct 21, 2025
Off injury report
Shannon (rest) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Shannon sat out the team's preseason finale with the majority of the squad's notable players. He recently had his team option picked up and could see an increased role during the 2025-26 campaign.
Oct 18, 2025
Team option picked up
The Timberwolves picked up Shannon's (rest) team option Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Shannon, who sat out the team's preseason finale Friday, made quite the impression on the Timberwolves in four exhibitions. In that span, he averaged 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals on 43.8 percent shooting from the field. Shannon is expected to play an increased role on the wings in 2025-26 in the absence of Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
Oct 17, 2025
Out vs. Philadelphia
Shannon (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will sit out the team's preseason finale, though his absence isn't expected to carry over into the regular-season opener against Portland on Wednesday. Jaylen Clark and Donte DiVincenzo are candidates for increased minutes with Shannon sidelined.
Oct 10, 2025
Fares well against Knicks
Shannon produced 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three turnovers in Thursday's 100-95 preseason loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
Shannon has generated some buzz throughout training camp, and coach Chris Finch has pointed to him as an option to pick up the minutes vacated by Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Through three preseason contests, Shannon holds averages of 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 21.5 minutes per game.
Oct 8, 2025
Productive night Tuesday
Shannon ended with nine points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three steals and two rebounds in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 135-134 preseason loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Shannon was arguably the best player on the floor for the Timberwolves, continuing to make his push for more playing time. Following a subdued rookie campaign, Shannon has a chance to carve out a 20-minute per-game role for himself, sliding in for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who is now with the Hawks. Should the Timberwolves suffer any major injuries, look for Shannon to step into an even larger role.
Oct 5, 2025
Shooting woes in preseason win
Shannon supplied 11 points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 21 minutes in Saturday's 126-116 preseason win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Shannon struggled with efficiency but still finished as one of five Minnesota players to score in double figures. The second-year swingman has a chance to carve out a significant role behind Anthony Edwards with Nickeil Alexander-Walker now with the Hawks. Shannon appeared in 32 regular-season games (one start) last season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.5 rebounds while shooting 48.2 percent from the field across 10.6 minutes per game.
Jul 19, 2025
Idle to end Summer League
Shannon (rest) did not appear in Saturday's 104-101 Summer League loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Shannon sat out the Timberwolves' semifinal loss, marking his second straight absence to close out Summer League. The wing's last appearance came Tuesday against the Pistons, when he tallied 24 points (6-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes.
Jul 16, 2025
Sitting out vs. Suns
Shannon (rest) is out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Suns, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday is the second part of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see Shannon receive the day off after dropping 24 points in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 89-73 win over the Pistons. With Nickeil Alexander-Walker heading to Atlanta this offseason, Shannon is looking to handle a more stable role in Minnesota's rotation in 2025-26.
Jul 15, 2025
Logs 24 points in SL win
Shannon posted 24 points (6-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 89-73 Summer League win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Shannon was efficient from the field and frequently got to the charity stripe, finishing with a game-high mark in points. The Illinois product was also one of three Minnesota players to record multiple steals. The 24-year-old forward has helped lead the Timberwolves to a 3-0 record in Summer League play, racking up 20-plus points in every game.
Jul 13, 2025
Nears double-double in win
Shannon racked up 24 points (8-19 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's Summer League 94-83 win against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Shannon continues to be one of the best scoring threats for the Timberwolves during the Summer League, as he finished with a game-high 24 points Saturday. The 24-year-old struggled with his shooting from beyond arc, but he did have a strong all-around performance and was one of three players for Minnesota to grab seven rebounds.
Jul 10, 2025
Standout performance in SL win
Shannon totaled 20 points (6-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and two steals across 31 minutes in Thursday's 98-91 Summer League win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Aside from struggling from beyond the arc, Shannon was electric in leading the Timberwolves to a win Thursday. The wing impressed during his 2024-25 rookie campaign when given extended run, averaging 16.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists on 53.4 percent shooting in the five of 32 regular-season games where he played 20 or more minutes.
Apr 12, 2025
Plays in garbage time Friday
Shannon (groin) played the final 3:22 of Friday's 117-91 win over the Nets, finishing with one rebound and one foul during his time on the court.
ANALYSIS
Shannon saw his first game action since March 24 after he recently missed time due to a right groin strain, though he had been available off the bench in both of the last two contests. With the Timberwolves building a big lead by the fourth quarter, Shannon got the opportunity to see the floor in garbage time. Shannon could be in store for a slightly larger role in Sunday's season finale against the Jazz, as the Timberwolves could need him to play some minutes on the wing while Anthony Edwards serves an automatic one-game suspension stemming from him picking up his 18th technical foul of the season Friday.
Apr 8, 2025
Available Tuesday
Shannon (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Shannon is ready to return to action after a five-game absence due to a right groin strain. However, the rookie has averaged only 4.0 minutes per game in his last three outings and is not guaranteed significant playing time against Milwaukee.
Apr 7, 2025
Could return Tuesday
Shannon (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Shannon has been sidelined for the Grizzlies' last five games due to a right groin strain, but the rookie first-round pick could return for Tuesday's interconference clash. He saw his playing time diminish before his injury, so his return wouldn't impact the Grizzlies' rotation all that much.
Apr 4, 2025
Still out for Saturday
Shannon (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will miss his fifth straight outing due to a right groin strain, though his absence shouldn't cause any major waves in the rotation. The rookie's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Bucks.
Apr 2, 2025
Sidelined again Thursday
Shannon (groin) is listed out for Thursday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
A right groin strain will keep Shannon sidelined for a fourth consecutive game, but the rookie first-round pick hadn't been part of the rotation prior to his recent injury-related absence.
Mar 31, 2025
Won't play Tuesday
Shannon (groin) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will miss his third consecutive contest due to a strained right groin, though his absence shouldn't cause any major waves in the Minnesota rotation. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Nets.
Mar 30, 2025
Not playing Sunday
Shannon (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will miss a second straight game due to right groin soreness, though his absence won't impact the Timberwolves' bench rotation all that much Sunday. His next chance to take to the floor will be Tuesday against the Nuggets.
Mar 29, 2025
Questionable to play Sunday
Shannon (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Shannon was unable to play in Friday's win against the Suns due to right groin soreness. He hasn't seen much playing time as of late, so his absence wouldn't impact the Timberwolves' bench rotation all that much.
Mar 28, 2025
Ruled out Friday
Shannon (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Shannon won't be on the floor for the Timberwolves on Friday due to a right groin soreness. However, this won't have much of a fantasy impact, as the rookie forward rarely sees the floor when healthy, averaging 10.8 minutes per game this season.
Mar 28, 2025
Lands on injury report Friday
Shannon is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
The groin soreness is a new concern for Shannon, who was a late addition to the club's injury report. The rookie first-round pick has received inconsistent playing time over his last 10 outings, averaging 1.6 points across only 8.1 minutes per contest. With no other injuries to report for the Timberwolves, Shannon isn't likely to play a significant role if he's cleared to suit up Friday.
Mar 2, 2025
Returning to bench Sunday
Shannon is not in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Suns on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Shannon made his first career NBA start Friday against the Jazz and finished with 17 points, five assists, four rebounds and one block over 28 minutes. He'll retreat to the bench Sunday due to Anthony Edwards (calf) returning from a one-game suspension.
Mar 1, 2025
Scores 17 points in first NBA start
Shannon finished Friday's 117-116 loss to the Jazz with 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block across 28 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Shannon made his first-career NBA start Friday in part due to the suspension of Anthony Edwards. The rookie first-round pick finished with a solid stat line and connected on a season-high three three-pointers. With Edwards serving his one-game suspension, Shannon will likely retreat to the bench for Sunday's game against Phoenix.
Feb 28, 2025
First-career start Friday
Shannon is in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Jazz on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Shannon has played at least 19 minutes off the bench in each of his last six games, and he's coming off a career-high 25-point performance against the Lakers on Thursday. Over that six-game span, the rookie first-round pick has averaged 13.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 24.2 minutes per contest while shooting 53.6 percent from the field. Shannon will make his first-career NBA start Friday -- in part due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (suspension) -- while Jaylen Clark retreats to the bench.
Feb 28, 2025
Records career high in loss
Shannon posted 25 points (9-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes during Thursday's 111-102 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Shannon logged a career-high mark in points, receiving double-digit minutes for the eighth consecutive contest. The rookie first-round pick has accumulated all four of his double-digit scoring outings over the club's last six matchups, during which he has averaged 13.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 24.2 minutes per game. With Anthony Edwards having been suspended for Friday's game against Utah, Shannon could see an uptick in playing time.
Feb 25, 2025
First career double-double Monday
Shannon accumulated 17 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 131-128 overtime victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The 27th overall pick in the 2024 Draft recorded his first career double-double and set a new career scoring high as he continues to take advantage of injuries in Minnesota's frontcourt. Over the last five games, Shannon is averaging 10.8 points, 5.0 boards, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks in 23.2 minutes a contest, but he'll return to the end of the bench once Julius Randle (groin) and Rudy Gobert (back) are cleared to return to the lineup.
Feb 24, 2025
Scores seven points
Shannon notched seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 19 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Jaylen Clark suffered a neck injury during Sunday's game and was unable to return as the injury report continues to grow in Minnesota. Shannon has seen a decent sized role over his last four games, averaging 9.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 three-pointers in 21.8 minutes per contest.
Feb 14, 2025
Season highs in win
Shannon finished Thursday's 116-101 win over Oklahoma City with 13 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick received a season-high 29 minutes with Mike Conley (finger), Julius Randle (groin), Rudy Gobert (back) and Donte DiVincenzo (toe) all on the shelf. Additionally, Shannon logged a season-high 13 points while leading the bench in scoring. The 24-year-old has seen double-digit playing time in each of the club's last four outings, averaging 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 18.8 minutes per contest in that four-game span.
Feb 6, 2025
Plays final minute of blowout
Shannon missed his only field-goal attempt and recorded no other statistics while playing the final 59 seconds of Wednesday's 127-108 win over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Shannon's garbage-time cameo marked his first action since he suffered a Grade 2 right mid-foot sprain in mid-January. He had been cleared to return last Saturday, but he didn't appear in either of the Timberwolves' last two games in coach's decisions.
Feb 1, 2025
Cleared to return Saturday
Shannon (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick has been sidelined since Dec. 23 due to a Grade 2 sprain in his right foot. Despite his 20-game absence, Shannon could see extended playing time in Saturday's game due to Anthony Edwards being ruled out with an illness.
Jan 31, 2025
Ramping up for return
The Timberwolves announced Friday that Shannon (foot), who is questionable for Saturday's game against Washington, has been cleared to resume full-contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities.
ANALYSIS
Shannon hasn't played since Dec. 23 due to a Grade 2 right mid-foot sprain, though he'll begin ramping up for a return to game action. While the questionable tag bodes well for the 24-year-old's status, he likely won't see significant playing time whenever he returns. The rookie has averaged 4.7 minutes per game across only 10 regular-season appearances thus far.
Jan 13, 2025
Out 2-to-4 weeks
Minnesota announced Monday that Shannon will miss the next 2-to-4 weeks after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 mid-foot sprain.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will be re-evaluated in two weeks, at which point fantasy managers can expect an update on his progress. Shannon hasn't received many minutes at the NBA level, so his absence isn't expected to impact the rotation.
Jan 12, 2025
Won't play Monday vs. Wiz
Shannon (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Despite being recalled by the Timberwolves from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Sunday, Shannon will not play Monday due to a right ankle sprain. His next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Warriors.
Jan 12, 2025
Recalled to NBA
The Timberwolves recalled Shannon from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Shannon appeared in two G League outings in his latest stint with Iowa, during which he amassed 80 points (26-42 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 13-13 FT), 10 rebounds, three steals and two assists over 70 total minutes. The rookie first-rounder has received little playing time at the NBA level and is not likely to play a significant role in the Minnesota rotation, despite his success in the G League of late.
Jan 3, 2025
Recalled to NBA
The Timberwolves recalled Shannon from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will rejoin the parent club ahead of its matchup against the Pistons on Saturday. The rookie has seen very little playing time at the NBA level, and he has averaged 1.5 points across 4.5 minutes per contest in 10 regular-season appearances.
Dec 23, 2024
Cracks rotation in loss
Shannon ended with two points (1-1 FG) over two minutes during Monday's 117-104 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Shannon appeared for just the 10th time this season, with all appearances coming in garbage time. The Timberwolves were soundly beaten by the Hawks, affording Shannon a rare opportunity to step onto the court. Of course, this is not something that will be a regular occurrence moving forward.
Nov 23, 2024
Returns from G League
The Timberwolves recalled Shannon from the G League Iowa Wolves on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Shannon will rejoin the parent club after playing two games in the G League. While he'll suit up for Sunday's game in Boston, Shannon isn't likely to be included in the rotation.
Nov 3, 2024
Makes season debut Saturday
Shannon registered no counting stats across three minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Shannon left the bench for the first time in his career as the Timberwolves waved the white flag against the Spurs. Along with a number of other fringe players, Shannon got to feel what it's like on a real NBA court. However, this feeling is unlikely to last too long, given he will struggle to play meaningful minutes on most nights.
Oct 17, 2024
Gets starting nod Thursday
Shannon will start in Thursday's preseason finale against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The Timberwolves are not only resting their starters, but they're also resting their regular reserves for this contest. Shannon will be one of the wing starters for this contest, and the rest of the starting five will feature P.J. Dozier, Rob Dillingham, Josh Minott and Luka Garza.
Oct 3, 2024
Participates in practice
Shannon (toe) has been practicing and going through drills to start Minnesota's training camp, Will Eudy of dunkingwithwolves.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Shannon missed Minnesota's Summer League finale due to a toe injury but appears to be healthy heading into the 2024-25 campaign. The rookie forward will likely compete for depth minutes early on in the season.
Jul 21, 2024
Won't play in Summer League finale
Shannon (toe) has been ruled out for Memphis' Summer League finale against the Magic, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
ANALYSIS
Shannon suffered a left toe injury during Thursday's matchup against the Rockets and will miss Minnesota's final exhibition match. The Illinois product was the No. 27 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft and is expected to compete for a bench minutes behind as a rookie.
Jul 19, 2024
Won't return Thursday
Shannon will not return to Thursday's Summer League game against the Rockets due to a left toe injury.
ANALYSIS
The extent of Shannon's toe injury isn't clear at the moment, but as long as he didn't break it, this shouldn't be something that impacts his status for opening night. He'll end his evening with one rebound over seven minutes.
Jun 26, 2024
Drafted by Minnesota at No. 27
Shannon was selected by the Timberwolves with the 27th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
As a five-year college player at Illinois, Shannon comes into the league at nearly 24 years old. However, he carries with him notable accolades from last season, including first-team All-Big Ten and third-team All-American. The 6-foot-6 wing is a strong defender and a crafty scorer who can fill it up in a variety of ways, though he especially thrives in transition. As a rookie, Shannon will fight for reserve minutes with players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kyle Anderson and fellow rookie Rob Dillingham.
