Impact The Timberwolves will let go of the 22-year-old to make room for Tristen Newton on a two-way pact.

Questionable for Tuesday Nix (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

Impact A sprained right ankle has prevented Nix from playing in the Timberwolves' last nine games. He's only appeared in three games for Minnesota and didn't play more than six minutes off the bench in either of those contests.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Nix (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Nix hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Dec. 6 and has been tending to a sprained right ankle. His absence should have minimal impact on the Timberwolves' rotation.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Friday Nix (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Nix isn't a regular in the Timberwolves' rotation, so he's not expected to have a large role even if fit. His next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Sunday.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Wednesday Nix (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against Dallas.

Impact Nix is nursing a sprained ankle and will be unavailable for the T-Wolves on Christmas. The guard has played in just three games this season, so his absence won't have any rotational impact. His next chance to play will come Friday at Houston.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Monday NIx (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Nix will sit out Monday after sustaining a sprained right ankle during the Iowa Wolves' G League loss to the Sioux Falls Skyforce on Saturday. The two-way guard has seen minimal playing time at the NBA level this season, and his absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Nix (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Nix is in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest due to a sprained right ankle. However, the two-way guard hasn't played at the NBA level since Dec. 6, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

Back to NBA club Minnesota recalled Nix from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday.

Impact Nix posted 20 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and four steals during Iowa's G League win over the Motor City Cruise on Wednesday morning. Nix has yet to appear in an NBA regular-season contest this season after making 15 appearances last year.

Inks two-way contract Nix signed a two-way contract with the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Nix will be on a two-way deal with Minnesota for a second consecutive season after appearing in 15 games with the T-Wolves in 2023-24. Considering he played sparingly last season and Minnesota spent its' first-round pick on a point guard in Rob Dillingham, Nix should spend most of the upcoming season in the G League.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Transferred to NBA club Minnesota transferred Nix from the G League's Iowa Wolves to the Timberwolves on Monday.

Impact Minnesota is dealing with numerous absences before Monday's game in Utah, so Nix has been recalled and will provide emergency depth. However, he's made only 12 NBA appearances this season and has played double-digit minutes just once.

MARCH 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted to main roster Nix was called up to the Timberwolves roster in advance of Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Nix has logged just 21 total minutes across six appearances for Minnesota this season. The Timberwolves' frontcourt is set to be fully healthy Tuesday, so Nix is unlikely to factor in the rotation.

DECEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to NBA The Timberwolves transferred Nix from the Iowa Wolves of the G League on Saturday.

Impact Nix is averaging 1.3 points in 3.5 minutes across his previous six NBA appearances this season. He is unlikely to receive significant minutes for Minnesota.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to NBA Minnesota transferred Nix to the NBA club from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday.

Impact NIx, Luka Garza, Josh Minott and Wendell Moore were all sent to the G League earlier Wednesday to presumably practice but have since returned to the NBA club. Nix has appeared in four NBA games this season but has yet to play more than three minutes in any contest.

Transferred to NBA club Minnesota transferred Nix to the NBA club from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Tuesday.

Impact Nix, Luka Garza, Leonard Miller, Josh Minott and Wendell Moore were all sent to the G League earlier Tuesday to presumably practice but have since returned to the NBA club. Nix has appeared in four NBA game this season but has yet to play more than three minutes.

Inks two-way deal The Timberwolves signed Nix to a two-way contract Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact After Minnesota released Matt Ryan, Nix was able to take his two-way spot. Nix has made 81 NBA appearances across two seasons with Houston but will split time between the NBA and G League in 2023-24.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to score in 11 minutes Nix notched zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 11 minutes during Sunday's 134-109 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Nix was a non-factor in the loss, continuing what has been an underwhelming stretch of games. He has failed to score double-digits since late February, despite the fact he has been a part of the rotation on most nights. While the Rockets are clearly building for the future, it is unlikely Nix features heavily in their long-term plans. His fantasy value is basically non-existent at this point.

APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores nine off bench Nix recorded nine points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Friday's 151-114 loss to Memphis.

Impact Nix's minutes have been fairly low, but he was able to get a good chunk of minutes in garbage time Friday. The Rockets have a back-to-back set coming up starting Sunday, so he could be a candidate to see more minutes if the Rockets sit some veterans.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to bench Nix will move back to the bench Saturday against the Bulls, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Kevin Porter (thigh contusion) is returning from a one-game absence, so there are no surprises here. Nix did not take advantage of his expanded opportunity Thursday versus Indiana, as he was held to six points on 25 percent shooting in 35 minutes.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fails to deliver in start Nix chipped in six points (3-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 134-125 overtime loss to Indiana.

Impact Nix moved into the starting lineup Thursday, replacing Kevin Porter, who was ruled out due to a thigh injury. Despite playing 35 minutes, Nix failed to come through with the goods. While TyTy Washington continues to bide his time on the bench, head coach Stephen Silas has thus far refused to shake up the team's rotation. As long as Nix continues to log meaningful minutes, he is at least worth a look in deeper formats.

MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start against Indiana Coach Stephen Silas said Nix is expected to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Nix is slated to replace Kevin Porter (thigh) in the starting five Thursday despite not seeing any playing time in the last two games. Nix is averaging 6.8 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 28.7 minutes across his previous six outings starting this season.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins reserves Nix will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Nix has rotated starts at the point guard spot with Kevin Porter (foot) out since Jan. 11 but will come off the bench in Porter's first game back. However, Porter will be under a rather severe minutes restriction Wednesday, so Nix should be expected to see 12-15 minutes off the bench but is not in fantasy consideration.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 14 with five dimes Nix recorded 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and five assists across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 133-112 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Nix scored a season-high 16 points off the bench against the Trail Blazers on Sunday, and after he was rewarded with the start Tuesday, he posted a decent stat line while recording a second straight game with double-digit scoring figures. Nix could very well remain in the starting lineup when the Rockets take on the Grizzlies on Wednesday, but his long-term place in the first unit will be tied to the return date of Kevin Porter (foot).

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Nix is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Nix will replace TyTy Washington in the starting lineup Tuesday. Nix, a second-year guard, is averaging 5.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 29.2 minutes across his previous five starts this season.
