Taurean Prince - Won't return Wednesday Prince has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game versus the Pacers with right shoulder irritation.
Impact Before exiting Wednesday's game, Prince tallied four points, one rebound, one steal and one block in 11 minutes. Prince's status for Friday's matchup with Charlotte is uncertain.

Kyle Anderson - Playing Wednesday Anderson (back) will play Wednesday at Indiana.
Impact Anderson was a game-time call due to some back soreness, but he'll return to action after missing Monday's game against the Heat. The veteran has been a key piece off the bench for coach Chris Finch, averaging 23.3 minutes per contest over his last eight appearances.
NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Anderson - Considered game-time call Anderson (back) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact The fact that Anderson is being considered at all is an upgrade from the previous contest, when he was ruled out on the initial injury report. If he misses another game, Taurean Prince and Naz Reid are candidates to see some additional minutes again.
NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan McLaughlin - Won't play Wednesday McLaughlin (calf) won't take the floor Wednesday versus the Pacers, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact McLaughlin's calf issue popped up on Tuesday's injury report, with him initially being labeled as questionable. The backup point guard will miss just his third game of the season, potentially leading to Austin Rivers or Jaylen Nowell seeing some minutes on the ball behind D'Angelo Russell.

Kyle Anderson - Questionable Wednesday Anderson (back) is questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Pacers.
Impact Anderson missed Monday's game versus the Heat due to back spasms. If Anderson cannot play Wednesday, his next opportunity to return will be Friday's game against Charlotte. Taurean Prince and Naz Reid could see additional action if he can't suit up.
NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan McLaughlin - Dealing with calf injury McLaughlin is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to a left calf strain.
Impact McLaughlin scored a season-high 12 points in 16 minutes during Monday's win over Miami, but he also appears to have suffered a calf injury. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but if he's sidelined, Austin Rivers, Jaylen Nowell and Bryn Forbes would be candidates for increased roles off the bench.
NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Aberration occurs Gobert notched four points (4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 105-101 win over the Heat. He did not log a field-goal attempt.
Impact Gobert received just 11 passes all night. For comparison, Anthony Edwards led with 87 and Jaylen Nowell received 23 passes in his nine minutes of action. Monday marked the first time since 2014 that Gobert didn't attempt a shot. He hit two clutch free throws to help Utah win the game, but his usage is clearly baffling at times.
NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan McLaughlin - Hits four threes McLaughlin ended Monday's 105-101 win over Miami with 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three assists and two steals in 16 minutes.
Impact McLaughlin hit double-digit scoring for the first time this season. He's been a credible three-point shooter in past seasons, but his 24.1 percent clip from beyond the arc thus far in 2022-23 is concerning. Averaging 15.8 minutes per game in his fourth season, McLaughlin is primarily a depth piece for Minnesota.

Minnesota takes road win streak into matchup with Indiana
Minnesota comes into a matchup against Indiana as winners of three road games in a rowNOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Taurean Prince - Logs 30 minutes in victory Prince amassed seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 105-101 win over the Heat.
Impact Prince saw at least 30 minutes for just the second time all season, and yet struggled to have any sort of tangible impact. He has scored in double-digits on just five occasions thus far, adding very little in terms of peripheral numbers. Despite the somewhat consistent role, he currently sits outside the top 250, making him a non-factor, even in deeper formats.
NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bryn Forbes - Enters rotation Monday Forbes produced zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across four minutes during Monday's 105-101 win over the Heat.
Impact Forbes saw four minutes of action in the win, the first time he has made it onto the floor in over a week. With the Timberwolves basically at full strength, Forbes has been unable to carve out a consistent role for himself. While he can have some limited streaming appeal at times, all signs point to him spending the majority of his time cheering on from the bench.
NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Karl-Anthony Towns - Drops team-high 25 points Towns finished with 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 105-101 win over the...
Impact Towns bounced back after a poor showing against the 76ers, leading the Timberwolves to their fourth straight victory. While the points production was nice here, perhaps more important was the fact he handed out a season-high nine assists. With D'Angelo Russell struggling a little, the team seems content running their offense through Towns a bit more. Given his rebounding numbers have taken a hit, an increase in his assist numbers should help buoy his overall value moving forward.
