Invaluable to Timberwolves, Naz Reid's name floats in NBA trade talksDespite a logjam at center, Reid has forced himself into the rotation with strong performances.

Rudy Gobert - Questionable FridayGobert (groin) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies.
ImpactGobert continues to deal with a sore right groin, but he's appeared in two straight games and has totaled an impressive 32 points, 28 rebounds, five blocks, four assists and a steal. If he sits out, more minutes should be in store for Naz Reid, Luka Garza and Nathan Knight.

Taurean Prince - Sidelined again FridayPrince (ankle) remains out for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies.
ImpactPrince will sit out his third consecutive contest while recovering from a left ankle sprain. He won't have to wait long for his next chance to return Saturday against the Kings. When healthy, Prince should reassume a sizable bench role.

Herbert Jones - Modest results in defeatJones closed Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Timberwolves with four points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes.
ImpactJones was inefficient from the floor Wednesday and was held to a single-digit scoring total for a second consecutive matchup while also failing to record a steal or a block in a game for the first time since Dec. 17. He's been inefficient over his four appearances since returning to the court, averaging 7.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per game.

Naji Marshall - Gets good minutes in returnMarshall (toe) played 27 minutes and finished with five points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Ti...
ImpactMarshall was back in action after a three-game absence, but because his return coincided with Brandon Ingram's (toe) comeback from a two-month hiatus, the former player was unable to reclaim a spot in the starting five. Marshall still saw a healthy workload off the bench, cutting into the playing time of Herbert Jones (26 minutes) and Trey Murphy (20 minutes) in the process. Marshall may be able to maintain a near-25-minute role for the foreseeable future while Zion Williamson (hamstring) faces an uncertain timeline for a return, but look for Marshall's usage to take a hit now that Ingram is back on the fold. Before missing the past three games, Marshall reached double figures in scoring in each of his prior 10 appearances and put up 13.1 field-goal attempts per contest.
