TIMBERWOLVES at JAZZ | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | March 16, 2024
MARCH 17 • YOUTUBE
Naz Reid - Starting against Utah Reid is in the starting lineup to face the Jazz on Saturday.
Impact Reid will step into a starting role with Rudy Gobert (ribs) out. Reid has been sensational of late, averaging 15.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 blocks per game since the beginning of March.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Anderson - Will play vs. Utah on Saturday Anderson (shoulder) is available to face the Jazz on Saturday.
Impact Anderson will be available to face the Jazz, and his presence will give the team a massive boost considering they're already missing Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Rudy Gobert (ribs) due to injuries. Anderson could very well start in the frontcourt against Utah alongside Naz Reid, as he's been in the starting lineup in the last three contests in which he's been available.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Cleared for Saturday Morris (hamstring) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Morris is officially back after missing the past three games for Minnesota. With this news, Morris is likely to take his backup point guard minutes back from Jordan McLaughlin.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Ruled out for Saturday Gobert (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Jazz, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Gobert was absent from shootaround ahead of Saturday's game, so his absence is not surprising. Naz Reid should remain in the starting lineup as a result, while Gobert's next chance to play will come in the upcoming matchup against Utah on March 18.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
T.J. Warren - Re-ups with Minnesota The Timberwolves signed Warren to a second two-day contract Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact After Warren's new 10-day deal expires, he will have to sign a rest-of-season contract if Minnesota wants to retain him. The veteran forward is shooting just 14.3 percent on 1.8 three-point attempts per contest across his four appearances with the Timberwolves.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Absent from shootaround Gobert (ribs) isn't participating in shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Gobert is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest due to a left rib sprain. However, his absence from shootaround is a bad sign of his availability against Utah.

T.J. Warren - 10-day deal expires Warren's 10-day contract with Timberwolves expired on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Warren is eligible to sign a second 10-day deal with Minnesota but would have to sign for the rest of the season after that. The 30-year-old forward averaged 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes across his four appearances for the Timberwolves.

Rudy Gobert - Questionable against Utah Gobert (ribs) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.
Impact Gobert is in danger of missing Saturday's contest due to a left rib sprain he suffered against the Clippers. If the defensive stalwart is ruled out, Naz Reid will likely start at center in his absence.
MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Questionable for Saturday Morris (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Morris has missed three straight games due to left hamstring soreness. If he remains out, Jordan McLaughlin would likely continue to see a few extra minutes behind Mike Conley.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Notches 28 points Alexander-Walker finished Tuesday's 118-100 victory over the Clippers with 28 points (9-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 28 minutes.
Impact Alexander-Walker was moved to the bench for Tuesday's game with Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gobert back in the lineup, but he still maintained a significant role. It obviously helped his case that he had the hot hand. March has been his best month of the season by far, as he's currently averaging 12.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 three-pointers.
MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Tweaks ribs in win Gobert (ribs) recorded eight points (4-7 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 118-100 win over the Clippers.
Impact Gobert left Tuesday's game with 7:18 remaining in the fourth quarter and did not return after Minnesota threw a questionable tag on him. According to Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Gobert said after the game that he was fine and that nothing was broken, but he did add that it was painful to move and breathe because of the location of the injury. The good news for Gobert is that Minnesota is off until Saturday's game against the Jazz.
