Kyle Anderson - Joins starting five Anderson is in the starting five for Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Impact Anderson will start Wednesday with Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) out. Towns is expected to miss another 4-6 weeks, so Anderson should be a regular in the starting lineup moving forward.

Jaden McDaniels - Won't play Wednesday McDaniels (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against Memphis.
Impact McDaniels will miss a third straight game with an illness. Austin Rivers will presumably garner another start with McDaniels officially out Wednesday.
DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden McDaniels - Game-time decision Wednesday McDaniels (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with the Grizzlies, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
Impact McDaniels was listed as questionable leading up to the contest, so his game-time status isn't surprising. However, official word on his status isn't likely to surface before the earliest lineup lock and likely won't come until the Timberwolves take the floor for warmups.

Towns out multiple weeks for Timberwolves with calf strain
Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns will miss multiple weeks with a strained right calf muscle that occurred in the team’s most recent gameNOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Karl-Anthony Towns - Out 4-to-6 weeks with strained calf Towns is expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks after suffering a right calf strain in Monday's loss to the Wizards, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Towns exited in the third quarter of Monday's game and needed to be helped off the floor after suffering the injury, as he was unable to put weight on his leg. Though Towns appears to have avoided a season-ending injury and could return as soon as late December, Wojnarowski's report suggests sometime in January is a more realistic target for the big man. Since Towns doesn't play center as much these days with Rudy Gobert around, it's unclear how much reserve center Naz Reid will benefit. Instead, Kyle Anderson and Taurean Prince (shoulder) could be likelier candidates to see increased run, and Jaylen Nowell may be a fringe beneficiary. The Minnesota rotation is worth monitoring, and fantasy managers with Sunday waiver claims will get to see two games -- Wednesday against the Grizzlies and Saturday against the Thunder -- before making any decisions.

Jaylen Nowell - Impressive off bench Monday Nowell racked up 23 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 142-127 loss to the Wizards.
Impact Nowell reached the 20-minute threshold for the second game in a row and reached the 15-point mark for the second straight contest, and he also tied a season-high mark in scoring while looking extremely efficient. Nowell has scored in double digits in all but one of the games he's played at least 20 minutes off the bench, and he could be in line to produce another solid outing Wednesday against the Grizzlies if he ends up moving to the starting unit as Karl-Anthony Towns was diagnosed with a calf strain Monday night.
NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Cleans up at free-throw line in loss Edwards contributed 29 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 142-127 loss to the Wizards.
Impact Edwards cleared 25 points for the third consecutive contest, and the Timberwolves could require more performances like this for the foreseeable future after Karl-Anthony Towns exited Monday's game with what the Timberwolves are calling a right calf strain. Towns will undergo further tests Tuesday as the Timberwolves look to determine the extent of his injury, but he'll almost certainly miss multiple games. While Towns is on the mend, Edwards should enjoy a spike in usage, and players like D'Angelo Russell, Jaylen Nowell, Jaden McDaniels (illness) and Rudy Gobert could also shoulder bigger loads on the offensive end to varying degrees.
NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
D'Angelo Russell - Puts up 17 points in loss Russell chipped in 17 points (6-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 142-127 loss to Washington.
Impact The Timberwolves struggled badly on both ends of the court, and even though Russell didn't have his best performance, he still ended up being one of the most productive players for Minnesota. The veteran floor general has reached the 20-point mark just once in his last seven appearances and has been forced to settle into a secondary offensive role behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, and his 14.4 points per game this season are his lowest scoring mark since his rookie year.
