Sidelined for six weeks Reid will undergo surgery on his fractured left wrist and will be sidelined for six weeks according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Impact This is a brutal blow for Minnesota, as Reid was in the midst of the best stretch of his career. With Reid out of the lineup for quite a while, we could see Minnesota go with some smaller lineups which would benefit Jaden McDaniels and Kyle Anderson.

T-wolves backup Naz Reid out indefinitely with broken wrist
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid has been sidelined indefinitely with a broken left wristMARCH 31, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out indefinitely Reid had an MRI taken Thursday, which revealed a left scaphoid fracture, and he'll remain out indefinitely.
Impact Reid had been on a tear of late, posting 18.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks with 57/37/76 shooting splits over his past eight appearances, so his absence will be a significant blow to Minnesota over the final five games of the regular season. The Timberwolves haven't ruled out a potential playoff return, but the lack of timetable suggests Reid playing again this season would require a miraculous turnaround in a short amount of time.

Gets diagnosed with broken wrist Reid (wrist) is expected to miss a significant period of time, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact After landing on the injury report as questionable heading into Friday's matchup with the Lakers, Reid suffered a broken wrist and should be considered out indefinitely for now. The center was having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 11.5 points and 4.9 rebounds in 18.4 minutes of action. Expect Nathan Knight and Taurean Prince to see additional minutes while Reid is unavailable.

Timberwolves win 119-115 to deny clinching party for Kings

Explodes for team-high 23 points Reid ended with 23 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Sunday's 99-96 win over the Warriors.
Impact Reid made a significant impact during only 21 minutes of work. Sunday's game flow revealed a continuing correlation between Reid and Gobert, although the two shared the court for a few minutes in the second quarter. Karl-Anthony Towns' return seemed to have no bearing on Reid's usage, as the two shared the court frequently when Gobert took breaks. Reid was especially effective in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 points that included two three-pointers.

Thrives off bench in win Reid logged 26 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 win over the Hawks.
Impact Reid's fantasy upside has usually been capped when Rudy Gobert is available, but the former has still found a way to 20 or more minutes in four straight contests while Gobert has cleared 30 minutes in each of those contests. Head coach Chris Finch said following Wednesday's game that he wants to see more of Reid and Gobert alongside one another, though the return of power forward Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) from an extended absence Wednesday could complicate those plans. Regardless, Reid looks like he could be an interesting speculative pickup if he ends up sticking in a 20-to-25-minute role. Over the past four games, he's averaging 18.5 points, 4.3 boards, 1.3 assists, 0.8 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks in 22.8 minutes while shooting 63.3 percent from the field and 81.8 percent from the free-throw line.

Available against New York Reid (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Reid was questionable Monday due to his sore calf but will be able to suit up for a third consecutive matchup. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 17.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game.

Iffy for Monday's contest Reid is questionable for Monday's game in New York due to left calf soreness.
Impact Despite battling the sore calf, Reid scored a team-high 22 points off the bench during Saturday's loss to Toronto, but he finds himself on the injury report again. He's appeared in three straight games, including a back-to-back set, and has averaged 17.0 points and 4.3 rebounds during that stretch, so barring a turn for the worse, it seems safe to expect Reid to suit up Monday. However, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm his availability ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tip.

Lone bright spot in loss Reid recorded 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to Toronto.
Impact Reid came off the bench and scored a team-high 22 points, but it wasn't enough as the Timberwolves struggled to find any offensive consistency without Anthony Edwards (ankle). Over his past three appearances, Reid has averaged 17.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.

Questionable Saturday Reid (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto.
Impact Reid is at risk of missing the closing end of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set Saturday after logging 25 minutes in Friday's loss to the Bulls. He has dealt with lingering soreness in his left calf throughout the past week but has played through the injury in the last two contests. With Rudy Gobert (ankle) also questionable, Nathan Knight could be thrust into a significant role if one of Reid or Gobert sits.
