Likely to miss start of season The Timberwolves are preparing for Clark (Achilles) to miss at least the first half of the 2023-24 season, Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Clark suffering a right Achilles' tendon tear in March and later underwent surgery, but the major injury didn't deter the Timberwolves from selecting him in the second round in the 2023 NBA Draft and subsequently signing him to a two-way deal.
