Troy Brown Jr. - Starting against Utah Brown is in the starting unit to play against the Jazz on Thursday.
Impact Brown will move to the starting lineup with Anthony Edwards (hip) ruled out, and this will be the first time he'll play in the first unit. He's averaging 4.2 points and 2.8 rebounds per game this season.

Anthony Edwards - Officially ruled out for Thursday Edwards (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact Edwards was considered doubtful for Thursday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising to see him officially ruled out. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kyle Anderson, Troy Brown and Shake Milton are candidates to see increased run against Utah. However, coach Chris Finch hopes Edwards' injury isn't serious and is optimistic that the shooting guard will be available Saturday against the Hornets.

Anthony Edwards - Absent from shootaround Edwards (hip) didn't participate in shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Jazz, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Edwards is listed as doubtful for Thursday's contest due to a right hip contusion he suffered against the Thunder. If he's ruled out, the 22-year-old guard will miss his first game of the season.

Anthony Edwards - Unlikely to play against Utah Edwards (hip) is doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Jazz.
Impact Edwards suffered a right hip contusion in Tuesday's win over the Thunder and will likely miss Thursday's contest. Shake Milton, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Troy Brown are candidates to receive increased minutes if Edwards is ultimately ruled out.

Troy Brown Jr. - Season high in win Brown posted 17 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and three rebounds over 21 minutes in a 106-103 win over the Thunder on Tuesday.
Impact Tuesday's contest marked Brown's second outing logging over 20 minutes, and he did not disappoint, supplying a remarkably efficient scoring performance. While Brown's increased usage stemmed from a hip injury to Anthony Edwards that forced him out of the game in the third quarter and the ongoing absence of Jaden McDaniels (ankle), Brown certainly took advantage of the opportunity and could continue to see increased playing time moving forward.

Luka Garza - Heads back to NBA Garza was transferred from the G League's Iowa Wolves to the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Impact Garza was sent to Iowa on Wednesday morning to practice with the G League club, but he'll rejoin the Timberwolves a few hours later. He's been on the fringes of the rotation for the parent club this year and shouldn't see significant minutes moving forward.
NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Daishen Nix - 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.

Wendell Moore Jr. - Rejoins parent club Moore was recalled from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday.
Impact A few hours after being sent to the G League to practice with Iowa, Moore will rejoin the parent club. He's appeared in just one game for the Timberwolves this season and shouldn't be part of the team's rotation moving forward.
NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Minott - Recalled by Minnesota Minott was recalled from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Wednesday.
Impact Minott was sent to the G League earlier Wednesday but will rejoin the parent club a few hours later. He hasn't been a significant part of Minnesota's rotation this year.

The Troy Brown Jr. Game propels the Timberwolves in showdown with OKC Brown provides a huge offensive spark to help fill the shoes of Anthony Edwards, who left the game in the third quarter after a hip injury.

Rudy Gobert - Grabs 16 rebounds in win Gobert finished Tuesday's 106-103 victory over Oklahoma City with 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, four blocks and one steal over 36 minutes.
Impact Gobert continues to deliver strong performances night in and night out for the Timberwolves, and this was his fourth double-double across his last six appearances. While he's never going to have a go-to role on offense, Gobert has also been consistent on that front, scoring in double figures in each of those six aforementioned contests as well. Gobert is averaging 12.0 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in November.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Poor shooting display in win Towns logged 13 points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Thunder.
Impact The Timberwolves came away with the win against Oklahoma City, but Towns had a woeful shooting display, and his eight trips to the charity stripe played a crucial role in his final stat line. However, this was nothing more than an off night for the star big man, and he needs to bounce back quickly, as he's expected to hold a prominent role on offense against the Jazz on Thursday, especially if Anthony Edwards (hip) can't play.
NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Doesn't return Tuesday Edwards (hip) totaled 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 victory over the Thunder.
Impact Edwards left the game in the third quarter and didn't return, so fantasy managers should be worried about his availability for Thursday's contest against the Jazz. Edwards has been massive for the Timberwolves on offense and is the go-to player when it comes to scoring, as evidenced by the fact that he's gone six straight games with 20 or more points. Karl-Anthony Towns should get more touches on offense if Edwards is forced to miss time, while Shake Milton and Troy Brown are candidates to receive extended minutes if Edwards is unable to feature Thursday.
