Josh Minott - Called up by Timberwolves The Timberwolves have recalled Minott from the G League Wolves.

Wendell Moore Jr. - Assigned to Iowa on Sunday The Timberwolves assigned Moore to their G League affiliate Iowa on Sunday.
Impact Moore spent most of December with the NBA roster but failed to make a significant impact, as he didn't see the court in any of the team's last four contests and only logged more than 10 minutes three times. Moore should handle a bigger workload at the G League level.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Minott - Sent to G League Minott was assigned to the G League Wolves on Sunday.
Impact Minott hasn't played much at the NBA level and continues to float between the two levels. He should log a lot more action with the team's G League affiliate.

Jaden McDaniels - Sluggish performance Saturday McDaniels amassed eight points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 116-104 loss to the Pistons.
Impact McDaniels and most of his teammates were simply not up to the task Saturday as the Timberwolves fell to the lowly Pistons. After scoring double-digits in seven straight games, McDaniels has now slumped to score a combined 12 points over his past two games. He remains a must-roster player, but managers will undoubtedly be hoping for a return to form sooner rather than later.

Rudy Gobert - Underutilized again Saturday Gobert notched nine points (3-3 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two blocks in 28 minutes during Saturday's 116-104 loss to Detroit.
Impact Gobert returned from a one-game absence but remained a non-factor, especially on the offensive end. From an outsider's perspective, all is not well in Minnesota. The team has simply not been able to incorporate Gobert, highlighted by the fact he has attempted fewer than eight shots in five of his past six games. The hope is that they get things figured out at some point, although time is certainly not on their side.

Anthony Edwards - Scores game-high 30 points Edwards provided 30 points (10-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 116-104 loss to Detroit.
Impact Edwards played through a hip injury Saturday, doing everything he could to get the Timberwolves over the hump. Unfortunately, they fell short of the mark, slumping to their sixth straight loss. Edwards continues to pace the team in scoring while contributing plenty on the defensive end. After a somewhat slow start to the season, he is now looking like the player managers had been hoping for on draft day.

Kyle Anderson - Active Saturday Anderson (back) will play and start in Saturday's matchup with the Pistons.

Anthony Edwards - Starting against Detroit Edwards (hip) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact Edwards was dealing with a hip issue following Friday's loss to the Bucks and suffered a hard fall, but he's willing to give it a go in an attempt to keep playing in each game of Minnesota so far. He's averaging 23.7 points and 6.1 rebounds per game this season.

Rudy Gobert - Good to go Saturday Gobert (illness) will take the floor Saturday against Detroit.
Impact Gobert will return from a one-game absence with a non-COVID illness and has slotted back into his starting center role. Upon his return, Naz Reid will shift back to the bench and have his workload reduced.

Impact Edwards has appeared in each of Minnesota's first 36 games this year, but he's dealing with a hip issue following Friday's loss to the Bucks. If he's unable to suit up Saturday, Austin Rivers and Jaylen Nowell will likely see increased playing time.
