Questionable against Charlotte Randle is questionable for Wednesday's game against Charlotte with a right groin strain.

Impact Randle, who just recently returned to action for Minnesota, played 30 minutes Tuesday against the 76ers and finished with 16 points, eight rebounds, five assists and one steal. Therefore, it's not a surprise that the Timberwolves are contemplating a maintenance day for the forward. Rudy Gobert, who has been battling a back issue, remains out for Minnesota.

Cleared to play Tuesday Randle (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Randle missed all of February due to a right groin strain. He made his return Sunday against the Suns and finished with 20 points, six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes. Randle will play Tuesday, but it wouldn't be surprising if he's held out for the second leg of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set Wednesday against the Hornets.

Questionable with groin strain Randle is questionable for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia due to a right groin strain.

Impact The Timberwolves have a short turnaround Wednesday against the Hornets, so the team could opt to keep Randle out of the lineup on one leg of this back-to-back set. With Rudy Gobert (back) out Tuesday, Minnesota's frontcourt could be significantly undermanned. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could take on more playing time if Randle is sidelined against the 76ers.

Supplies 20 points in return Randle totaled 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 116-98 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Seeing his first action since Jan. 30, Randle looked fully recovered from his groin injury. The 30-year-old forward struggled to find consistency over his first few months with the Timberwolves, but he had been showing signs at the end of January that he was getting more comfortable, scoring at least 20 points in three straight contests before getting hurt.

Green light to play Sunday Randle (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact Randle has been out of action since Jan. 30 due to a right groin strain. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to the floor Sunday, though he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction while working his way back into NBA shape. Randle's return will likely lead to Naz Reid returning to a reserve role, though the duo could start together for as long as Rudy Gobert (back) is sidelined.

Intends to play Sunday Randle (groin), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns, intends to play, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact Randle has missed the club's last 13 outings due to a right groin strain, though he'll likely return to game action against Phoenix. The veteran forward hadn't missed a game until February, and he is averaging 18.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.7 steals across 32.6 minutes per game in 48 regular-season appearances. It wouldn't be surprising to see Randle operate under a minutes restriction if he suits up Sunday following an extended absence.

Questionable for Sunday Randle (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact Randle hasn't stepped on the court since logging 10 minutes in a 138-113 win over the Jazz and missed the entire month of February, but he might be ready to return to action Sunday. Randle is averaging 18.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.7 steals per game across 48 starts this season. If he isn't deemed ready to return, then Jaden McDaniels would remain as the starting power forward.

No target date for return Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said prior to Thursday's 111-102 loss to the Lakers that Randle (groin) and Rudy Gobert (back) are both "close" to playing in games, but no form...

Impact Though Minnesota returned Donte DiVincenzo (toe) from an extended absence Thursday, the team looks as though it'll have to wait a bit longer to get back to full strength while Randle and Gobert are on the mend from injuries. Based on Finch's comments, Randle and Gobert can both be ruled out for the second leg of Minnesota's back-to-back set Friday in Utah, and a return from either player in the final game of the road trip Sunday in Phoenix may be ambitious. Naz Reid and Jalen McDaniels should continue to benefit from elevated playing time in the frontcourt until Randle and Gobert return. Randle hasn't played since Jan. 30 due to a right groin strain.

His next chance to play will come Friday at Utah. While he's sidelined, look for Naz Reid, Luka Garza and Terrence Shannon to see more minutes.
