ImpactNowell is reportedly dealing with a bruised sacrum which puts his status ahead of Thursday's matchup with Golden State in doubt. With Patrick Beverley (ankle) also dealing with an injury, Malik Beasley could see increased run in the Timberwolves backcourt alongside D'Angelo Russell if either is forced to sit.

ImpactCoach Chris Finch indicated that he was "hopeful" Beverley would be able to play Thursday after a two-game absence due to a sprained right ankle, but he is officially listed as questionable for the time being. With Jaylen Nowell (back) also questionable, Malik Beasley would likely be a candidate for extra minutes if Nowell and/or Beverley have to sit.
