Austin Rivers - Dealing with back spasms Rivers is questionable for Monday's game in New York due to back spasms.
Impact Rivers continues to battle back spasms, and even when he's been available, he hasn't garnered a prominent role in head coach Chris Finch's rotation. If he's sidelined, Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to see increased roles behind Mike Conley.

Anthony Edwards - Questionable Monday Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Knicks, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Impact Edwards missed Saturday's game due to the ankle issue, which resulted in Taurean Prince getting a spot start and Jaden McDaniels taking a more proactive role on offense. Edwards will test his ankle at shootaround, but don't be surprised if he winds up being a game-time call ahead of Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tip.
MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Nowell - Unlikely to play Monday Nowell (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game in New York.
Impact Nowell will likely miss an 11th straight game Monday due to left knee tendinitis. He currently doesn't have a return timetable, but his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hawks.
MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Modest production in loss Alexander-Walker registered four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to the Raptors.
Impact Since the All-Star break (11 games), Alexander-Walker has averaged 8.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks in 20.5 minutes. As long as Jaylen Nowell (knee) and Anthony Edwards (ankle) remain out, Alexander-Walker is a candidate for a solid reserve role, but his production has been too sporadic to trust on a nightly basis.
MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan McLaughlin - Team-high eight assists off bench McLaughlin closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and eight assists in 24 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to the Raptors.
Impact McLaughlin played his most minutes since Dec. 3 and dished out a team-high eight assists, though he did tie his season high with three turnovers. The undrafted point guard out of USC still hasn't scored in double figures since returning from a two-month injury absence at the beginning of February and has averaged just 3.7 points, 2.8 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game over his past 17 appearances.

Anthony Edwards - Out of boot, day-to-day Edwards (ankle) is no longer in a walking boot and is considered day-to-day, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Edwards isn't out of the woods yet, but this is certainly encouraging news after the third-year forward left Friday's loss to Chicago in a lot of pain. His status for Monday's matchup in New York won't be known until Minnesota releases its next injury report, which should drop sometime Sunday afternoon. If he's still sidelined for that matchup, he'll have two more chances -- Wednesday versus Atlanta and Sunday against Golden State -- to suit up next week.
MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Lone bright spot in loss Reid recorded 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to Toronto.
Impact Reid came off the bench and scored a team-high 22 points, but it wasn't enough as the Timberwolves struggled to find any offensive consistency without Anthony Edwards (ankle). Over his past three appearances, Reid has averaged 17.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.

Taurean Prince - Starting for injured Edwards Prince will start Saturday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact With Anthony Edwards (ankle) missing his first game of the season Saturday, Prince will get the nod. It's unclear when Edwards, who is in a walking boot, will return, so Prince could earn more starts beyond this weekend. In two previous starts, Prince has averaged 9.5 points, 6.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 25.5 minutes.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Rivers - Available Saturday Rivers (back) is available for Saturday's game at Toronto.
Impact Despite back spasms, Rivers will appear in a second straight game. He could be in for an expanded role, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is missing his first game of the season Saturday and is still in a walking boot.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Nowell - Out vs. Raptors Nowell (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Impact As expected, Nowell will be sidelined for a tenth consecutive matchup Saturday, with his next chance to play arriving Monday. His presence is especially important at the moment, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is in a boot, and it's not clear when he'll be back.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Available at Toronto Reid (calf) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Impact Despite some calf soreness, Reid will see the floor Saturday. Since the All-Star break, the reserve big has averaged 14.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 20.4 minutes.
