Drops 14 in return Reid accumulated 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 138-119 win over the Bucks.

Impact After missing the prior two games due to back spasms, Reid returned to the lineup with his fifth double-digit scoring effort in his last seven contests. The third-year center is averaging 12.1 points, 6.3 boards, 1.1 steals, 1.0 assists and 1.0 threes in 16.7 minutes a game during that stretch, and with Karl-Anthony Towns a little banged up himself right now, Reid could supply the Timberwolves with some valuable minutes down the stretch if he can stay healthy.

Will play against Bucks Reid (back) is available for Saturday's game against Milwaukee, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Back spasms kept Reid out of each of Minnesota's past two contests, but he'll be back on the court to face the Bucks on Saturday. His return could be especially important if Karl-Anthony Towns, who is a game-time decision due to a right forearm contusion, is unable to play.

Questionable Saturday Reid (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.

Out Wednesday Reid (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Reid will miss a second straight game as he continues to deal with back spasms. His next opportunity to return will come Saturday when the Timberwolves host the Bucks.

Questionable Wednesday Reid (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.

Impact Reid sat out Monday against the Spurs due to back spasms, and the same could happen Wednesday. If that's the case, Jarred Vanderbilt and Nathan Knight could see more action.

Sitting out Monday Reid (back) won't play Monday against the Spurs, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Reid was considered questionable with back spasms and won't be available for Monday's contest. Nathan Knight and Taurean Prince will see more run in the frontcourt since Jarred Vanderbilt (quadriceps) is also out.

Questionable with back spasms Reid (back) is listed as questionable Monday against the Spurs.

Impact The reserve big man is a new addition to the injury report, as he hasn't missed a game since Dec. 27. He's coming off of an 11-point, 10-rebound, three-steal, two-block double-double in Saturday's win over Miami.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles from bench Reid provided 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 24 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 victory over Miami.

Impact Reid's production is humming along this month, as he posted his second double-double over four games. Reid's fantasy relevance is capped due to his seasonal average of only 15.9 minutes per game. It's also problematic when an elite center like Karl-Anthony Towns dominates the usage in the paint.

Shines off bench Monday Reid amassed 18 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 124-81 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Reid enjoyed an uptick in playing time considering the game was a blowout, and he made the most of the opportunity while recording his first double-double since Jan. 2. He was dealing with a minor hamstring issue, but it's safe to say that didn't seem to bother him at all. Expect him to continue on a reserve role when the Timberwolves take on the Thunder on Wednesday, though a repetition of these numbers is not realistic.

Will play Monday Reid (hamstring) will be available Monday against Portland, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reid may be a little banged up, but he'll play through the hamstring issue and serve in his usual reserve role. He's coming off of a six-point, three-rebound outing against the Blazers on Saturday.

MARCH 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hamstring injury Reid is questionable for Monday's contest against Portland due to a right hamstring contusion.

Impact Reid presumably picked up the injury during Saturday's blowout win over the Trail Blazers, but the extent of the issue remains unclear. If he's sidelined Monday, Jaden McDaniels and Nathan Knight would both be candidates for increased roles.

Pops for 20 points in win Reid ended with 20 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Friday's 138-101 win over the Thunder.

Impact Reid saw some additional run during the victory as the Timberwolves took care of business against the Thunder. The starters were given an early mark, allowing the second unit to take over with Reid leading the charge. With Karl-Anthony Towns putting together a strong season, Reid has had limited opportunities to shine, leaving him as a deep league asset.
