Impact Forbes recently picked up a right ankle sprain and will miss at least one contest. However, his absence shouldn't impact Minnesota's rotation, as he hasn't seen game action since Jan. 11.

Bryn Forbes - Downgraded to out Forbes (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Golden State.
Taurean Prince - Will play Wednesday Prince (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Prince returned to action Monday following a four-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and totaled three points and four rebounds in 13 minutes. He was back on the injury report and listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game, but he's officially been cleared and should garner another limited role off the bench.

Bryn Forbes - Iffy against Golden State Forbes is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain.
Impact It is unclear when Forbes suffered his ankle sprain, but his late addition to the injury report is a bad sign for his availability Wednesday. However, the 29-year-old guard's potential absence shouldn't affect Minnesota's rotation, as Forbes hasn't played since Jan. 11.

Jordan McLaughlin - Making small gains in recovery Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said Monday McLaughlin (calf) is "inching" forward in his return process, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Impact McLaughlin will miss his 29th straight game after being ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left calf strain. Based on Finch's comments, it doesn't appear that the 26-year-old guard will return to the lineup soon.

Taurean Prince - Questionable Wednesday Prince is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact Prince is questionable Wednesday after playing 13 minutes against the Kings following a four-game absence due to his ankle injury. Given his lingering injury, the 28-year-old forward could be limited again if he's able to suit up against Golden State.

Rudy Gobert - Questionable versus Golden State Gobert is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to right groin soreness.
Impact Gobert has received questionable tags in each of his last five games due to his groin soreness before being upgraded to available. It seems likely that this will be the case Wednesday, as there have been no reports of his injury worsening. Gobert is averaging 14.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists in 35.4 minutes across his last five outings. It will still be worth checking back on the rim-protecting big man's status ahead of the 8 PM ET opening tipoff.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Remains sans timetable for return Timberwolves general manager Tim Connelly relayed Tuesday that Towns (calf) remains sidelined indefinitely, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Impact Connelly suggested that the team doesn't want to put a specific timetable on Towns' return yet, but he also mentioned that the organization has the "full expectation" that the big man will make it back at some point during the 2022-23 campaign. Towns hasn't appeared in a contest since Nov. 28 while tending to a calf strain. His return doesn't appear imminent, and Connelly's words make it sound like Towns may only be available for a smaller portion of the remaining campaign. More information on Towns' return date should surface once he makes some tangible progress in his recovery.

Kyle Anderson - Delivers well-rounded line Anderson submitted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block in 36 minutes in Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to the Kings.
Impact Though Anderson's production didn't stand out in any one area Monday, his ability to contribute across the board continues to make him an appealing back-end roster piece in 12-team category leagues while he continues to see sizable minutes. The veteran forward appeared in 15 of 16 contests for the Timberwolves in January, shooting 52.6 percent from the field and 75 percent from the charity stripe on the month while averaging 10.4 points, 5.6 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.4 minutes per game. The 30-minute role should be obtainable for Anderson so long as he stays healthy and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) remains sidelined for the foreseeable future.
JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Stays hot versus Kings Edwards recorded 33 points (14-27 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks across 41 minutes in Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to the Kings.
Impact The Timberwolves and Kings ended up splitting their Saturday and Monday series in Minnesota, but Edwards dominated on both occasions. He put up 67 points, 18 boards, 11 assists, nine three-pointers, four steals and three blocks between the two contests, all while shooting a robust 58.3 percent from the field. Edwards has now erupted for at least 30 points in five of his last six outings, erasing any concerns fantasy managers might have had about the hip injury he picked up earlier this month hindering his production.

Jaden McDaniels - Another disappointing effort McDaniels ended with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to the Kings.
Impact McDaniels, who missed a very brief spell in this one due to an undisclosed issue but returned following a brief visit to the locker room, had his third straight game without registering a defensive stat, continuing what has been an underwhelming period. He is now outside the top 170 over the past two weeks, averaging just 1.2 combined steals and blocks. He isn't out of place on a 12-team roster, but the lack of upside does mean managers shouldn't be afraid to send him packing.

Taurean Prince - Returns to action Monday Prince logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes during Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to the Kings.
Impact Prince was back on the court Monday, returning after missing four straight games due to an ankle injury. He logged 13 minutes in the loss, failing to produce anything of note. He does help the Timberwolves by providing a spark off the bench, typically on the offensive end of the floor. If he can get back to playing upward of 22 minutes per night, he is at least worth a look in deeper formats. For those in standard leagues, there is no reason to pay too much attention.

Rudy Gobert - Efficient double-double in loss Gobert ended Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to Sacramento with 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-10 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 40 minutes.
Impact Gobert continues to play through a groin issue, registering his fourth double-double in the past five games. While he remains a regular fixture on the injury report, he has logged at least 32 minutes in every game since returning from his groin injury, an indication that the Timberwolves are simply monitoring his situation. His production does appear to be increasing, albeit at a snail's pace, giving managers hope that he will eventually get back to being a top-30 player.
