Taurean Prince - Ankle remains bothersome Prince is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact The 28-year-old has played through the ankle sprain during the past week, and it's possible he does so again Wednesday in Denver. Prince has averaged 11.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.0 minutes since he returned from a 20-game absence due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Edwards has battled the hip injury for the past couple weeks but has yet to miss a game this season. The 21-year-old has averaged 25.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 33.8 minutes across the past five contests.

Rudy Gobert - Questionable against Denver Gobert (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Denver.
Impact Gobert is questionable Wednesday due to right groin soreness he suffered in Monday's contest against the Jazz. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year also exited the previous game with the same injury, so Minnesota may sit him in order to recover. Naz Reid is a likely candidate to enter the starting lineup in Gobert's potential absence.

D'Angelo Russell - Solid scoring and assist numbers Russell produced 21 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, seven assists and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 126-125 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Russell shot the ball well, including a perfect 6-for-6 from the line and 50 percent from deep. His seven assists and a block were also great additions to his stat sheet Monday night. The 26-year-old's inconsistency is the main issue for fantasy managers, but one could argue he still provides far more good games than bad. His per-game averages are still solid too, currently at 17.1 points (on 46.1 percent shooting), 6.2 assists and 1.1 steals this season.
JANUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Anderson - Triple-double in loss Anderson posted 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 126-125 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Anderson posted his second career triple-double Monday night. His 11 rebounds were a season high, and it was one of his larger usage games with double-digit shot attempts for just the fifth time all year. While he doesn't typically score a ton of points, the veteran forward adds value across the board, especially lately. Anderson is averaging 10.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks in the month of January.
JANUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Another impressive game Edwards had 29 points (10-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 126-125 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Edwards hit double-digit field goals in his third straight game, and his 29 points led all scorers Monday night. This included four made shots from beyond the arc, his most since December. The 21-year-old has played in every game for the Timberwolves this season and is averaging 23.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 steals, which are all career highs.

Rudy Gobert - Will not return Monday Gobert is out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Jazz due to right groin soreness.
Impact Gobert was listed as questionable leading up to the contest after suffering a groin injury in Saturday's tilt but attempted to play through the issue Monday. It was clear Gobert was not 100 percent prior to his exit as he logged just five minutes before departing. Naz Reid and Luka Garza will be forced into larger roles for the rest of the game as the top center options for Minnesota. Gobert's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Denver.

Jordan McLaughlin - Not close to return Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said Monday that he doesn't expect McLaughlin (calf) to return to game action anytime soon, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Impact McLaughlin is missing his 20th straight game Monday against the Jazz due to a left calf strain, and based on Finch's comments, the reserve guard looks to be viewed as week-to-week rather than day-to-day at this stage. His ongoing absence should continue to keep a rotation spot open for Austin Rivers on the second unit.
JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Taurean Prince - Available Monday Prince (ankle) will play Monday against Utah.
Impact Prince has been playing through a left ankle sprain over the past couple of contests and will once again tough it out Monday. He is coming off his worst outing since returning from his lengthy absence, logging just seven points across 26 minutes Saturday.
JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Cleared from injury report Edwards (hip) will be available for Monday's game against Utah.
Impact Edwards has been dealing with a sore hip of late, but he'll continue to play through it Monday as the Wolves take the floor for the third time in the last four days. The third-year guard is coming off of a 26-point, six-rebound, seven-assist performance in Saturday night's 110-102 win over the Cavs.
JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Available Monday Gobert (groin) is available Monday against the Jazz, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gobert sustained a groin injury Saturday against Cleveland and was questionable ahead of Monday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through the issue. Over his last eight appearances, he's averaged 12.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 30.1 minutes per game.
JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Minott - Back with parent club The Timberwolves recalled Minott from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Monday.
Impact Minnesota lists five players on its injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Jazz, so Minott looks as though he'll be on track to suit up. The second-round rookie out of Memphis has appeared in just seven games for the Timberwolves this season, logging no more than four minutes on any occasion.
