Matt Ryan - Returns to G League The Timberwolves transferred Ryan to the Iowa Wolves of the G League on Wednesday.
Impact Ryan will be available for Iowa's game Thursday versus Rio Grande Valley. The two-way forward hadn't played for the Timberwolves since Feb. 8, but he should make a larger impact in the G League

Luka Garza - Headed to G League The Timberwolves transferred Garza to the Iowa Wolves of the G League on Wednesday.
Impact Garza is one of Minnesota's two-way players, so he will likely continue to move between the two levels to keep sharp. However, he has only appeared in two of the Timberwolves' last eight games, so he should see more playing time in Iowa.

Jordan McLaughlin - Continues to garner modest role McLaughlin supplied five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Following a two-month absence due to a calf strain, McLaughlin has appeared in 12 straight games but is averaging just 2.9 points, 2.2 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 14.8 minutes during that stretch. Barring numerous injuries, it's safe to leave McLaughlin on the waiver wire in standard leagues despite his consistent role in Minnesota's rotation.

Taurean Prince - Scores 13 points in 25 minutes Prince registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Prince led the bench unit with 25 minutes, scoring at least 10 points for the third time in his past four games. However, before managers get too excited, it should be noted that this was a blowout, resulting in additional minutes for many of the second and third units. Prince can have some deep league appeal, but as for standard formats, he should be viewed as nothing more than a stream candidate, and a risky one at that.

Mike Conley - Rough night Tuesday Conley ended with six points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Conley failed to have an impact in the loss, turning in arguably his worst performance since joining the Timberwolves. Prior to this game, he had scored double digits in two straight contests. While he certainly isn't the player he once was, Conley should remain a borderline top-100 talent ROS.

Rudy Gobert - Dominated in blowout loss Gobert finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Gobert was no match for Joel Embiid in the loss, basically played out of the game at times. This performance really highlighted what a struggle it has been for Gobert this season. His lack of lateral movement and overall speed limits where he can play, especially on the defensive end. With centers becoming more versatile with their offensive skillset, it feels as though Gobert is being left behind. With no prospect of expanding his range beyond about three feet, Gobert's long-term value, or lack thereof, is cause for concern.

Austin Rivers - Not on injury report Rivers (neck) is not on the final injury report for Tuesday against the 76ers.
Impact Rivers is returning from a two-game absence, but his role was very minimal prior to the injury. Rivers' return could result in fewer minutes for guys like Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Returns to basketball activies Coach Chris Finch said Tuesday that Towns (calf) is still in the "final" stages of returning, but despite doing some basketball activities, remains without a clear timeline, Chris...
Impact Towns hasn't played since Nov. 28 due to a right calf strain but is expected to retake the court before the end of the season. However, with just 18 games remaining in Minnesota's regular season, the star big man is unlikely to see a ton of action before the playoffs. If Towns can return, the Timberwolves will likely ease him into the rotation to prepare him for the playoffs.

Austin Rivers - Probable for Tuesday Rivers (neck) is probable to play Tuesday against the 76ers.
Impact It looks like Rivers will be back in action Tuesday following a two-game stint on the sidelines, but he rarely brings meaningful statistics to the stat sheet. His return could result in fewer minutes for Jordan McLaughlin, though.
