Impact Minott missed Monday's win over Portland due to an illness but should be available Thursday. However, his availability shouldn't impact the rotation, even with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) out.

Josh Minott - Not listed on injury report Minott (illness) isn't listed on Minnesota's injury report for Thursday's game against the Pacers.
Jordan McLaughlin - Listed questionable for Thursday McLaughlin (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pacers.
Impact McLaughlin missed Monday's win over Portland due to an illness and still hasn't shaken the aliment. If he's ruled out again, Monte Morris and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely absorb a few extra minutes.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Won't play versus Indiana Towns has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Pacers due to left knee soreness.
Impact Thursday's matchup is the first half of a back-to-back set, so this may just be a rest day for the big man, who hasn't missed a game due to injury since Dec. 23. In his absence, Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson are candidates for increased roles, while recently-signed T.J. Warren could also enter the rotation for the first time.

T.J. Warren - Officially joins Minnesota The Timberwolves signed Warren to a 10-day contract Wednesday.
Impact Warren averaged 7.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.4 minutes during his last NBA stint in 42 appearances for the Nets and Suns in 2022-23. While it's unclear where Warren will fit into Minnesota's rotation, he should be available for Thursday's matchup with Indiana.

Mike Conley - Strong effort in win Monday Conley contributed 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 119-114 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Conley delivered a strong performance Monday, tying his best scoring mark of the season and chipping in with at least seven dimes for the third time across his last four appearances. Conley is averaging 10.9 points, 4.7 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game since the league resumed following the All-Star break.

Anthony Edwards - Scores 13 in odd bench appearance Edwards finished Monday's 119-114 victory over Portland with 13 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes.
Impact Edwards not starting Monday was certainly an odd situation, as the star guard was "not there" by the time the game started, so Minnesota sent Nickeil Alexander-Walker in his place, though Edwards entered the hardwood as soon as the game began and still logged his regular workload. Barring another unexpected sequence such as Monday's, Edwards should be in the starting lineup when the Timberwolves take on the Pacers on Thursday.

Rudy Gobert - Fouls out in win over Portland Gobert fouled out of Monday's 119-114 win over the Trail Blazers after recording 25 points (9-10 FG, 7-7 FT), 16 rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 39 minutes.
Impact Gobert recorded his three consecutive double-doubles, and the Frenchman has been an absolute model of consistency in recent weeks -- he has posted a double-double in all but one of his 13 appearances since the beginning of February. Even though Gobert is not expected to take over a game offensively, he's consistent enough to remain an above-average fantasy alternative in all formats considering everything else he brings to the table.

Anthony Edwards - Bruises elbow Monday Edwards is questionable to return to Monday's game against Portland due to a right elbow bruise.
Impact In what has been a saga of an evening for Edwards, the 23-year-old exited in the third quarter of Monday's contest after being scratched from the starting lineup due to being late getting on the court. It's unclear if an elbow complication had anything to do with his pregame delay, but his status for the remainder of Monday's game is in jeopardy regardless.

Anthony Edwards - Late for work Monday Edwards was not present for lineup confirmations and will come off the bench Monday against Portland, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Impact Edwards often finishes his warm-up routine in the final moments of pregame near the team's locker room, and he did not take the court in time to be active in Minnesota starting lineup Monday -- with the Timberwolves receiving a delay of game infraction as well. Edwards is expected to sub in at the first stoppage of play.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Draws last-minute start Alexander-Walker is starting Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Impact Krawczynski notes that Edwards was late getting onto the court for tipoff, so Alexander-Walker was inserted into the starting lineup at shooting guard. Edwards is set to enter play at the first whistle, so Alexander-Walker is in line to shoulder his normal workload Monday night.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Minott - Won't go Monday Minott (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Portland.
Impact Minott's absence shouldn't have much of an impact on Minnesota's rotation given his current spot on the depth chart. His next chance to return will arrive Thursday against Indiana.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan McLaughlin - Listed out for Monday McLaughlin (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact This marks McLaughlin's second missed contest due to illness. His next opportunity to return will arrive Thursday against the Pacers.
