Available against Cavaliers Reid (head) is available to face the Cavaliers on Friday, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact The presence of Reid gives Minnesota some sort of stability in the frontcourt, as Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is out and Rudy Gobert (ribs) will be a game-time decision.

Iffy for Friday Reid (head) is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland.

Available Tuesday Reid (head) is inactive for Tuesday's game against Denver, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Reid will join Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the sidelines while Rudy Gobert (ribs) remains questionable in what would otherwise be a top-tier Western Conference showdown against the Nuggets. Luka Garza will likely remain in a fringe rotation role regardless of Gobert's ultimate status, while Kyle Anderson appears locked into a 30-plus minute workload.

Questionable for Tuesday Reid (head injury) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Reid left Monday's game against the Jazz early, but the questionable tag suggests that he's dealing with a day-to-day injury. In addition to Reid, Rudy Gobert (ribs) is also questionable. If the Timberwolves are shorthanded, they could turn to Jaden McDaniels, Kyle Anderson and Luka Garza.

Won't return Monday Reid has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Jazz due to a head injury, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact This is a significant loss for the Timberwolves, as the team is also without Rudy Gobert (rib) Monday evening. It'll be up to Luka Garza and Leonard Miller to step up at center the rest of the way.

Coming off bench Reid will come off the bench against the Clippers on Tuesday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Rudy Gobert (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Minnesota, so this is an expected move. Reid stepped up in a big way in Sunday's loss to the Lakers, finishing with 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 42 minutes.

Props up short-handed frontcourt Reid supplied 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 42 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Reid did all he could, but he was unable to contain Anthony Davis as the frontcourt folded without Rudy Gobert (hamstring) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee). Reid put up a good number, a trend is bound to continue until the postseason, when Towns is scheduled to return. The Timberwolves stand a chance with Gobert in the lineup, but their frontcourt is extremely vulnerable with both big men on the sidelines.

Starting for injured Gobert Reid will start Sunday night's game against the Lakers.

Impact With both Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Rudy Gobert (hamstring) sidelined, Reid will move into the starting five at center for the first time all season.

Leads bench in scoring Thursday Reid recorded 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 113-111 win over the Pacers.

Impact With Karl-Anthony Towns out indefinitely with a torn meniscus in his left knee, Reid will see more opportunities on the offensive side of the floor. His 13 points Thursday was third on the team behind Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert. Although Kyle Anderson got the start for Towns, Reid could work his way into the starting five if he shows out over the next few games.
