Good to go Reid (shoulder) has been cleared to play and will start Monday against the Mavericks, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact As expected, Reid has been given the green light after being listed as probable due to shoulder soreness. He's averaging 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists over his last six matchups.

Should play Monday Reid (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Reid exited Sunday's contest in the first half due to the injury and did not return but is likely to suit up Monday. With Rudy Gobert (ankle) iffy for the contest, Reid could be in line for another start if Gobert sits. In his only start this season that he finished, Reid tallied 28 points, nine rebounds and three steals in 37 minutes.

Downgraded to out Reid (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Reid didn't return to the game after suffering the injury, and the fact that he was ruled out suggests the injury might be more severe than initially expected. This means Nathan Knight is in line for a bigger role on offense, while Reid's next chance to feature will come Monday against the Mavericks.

Might not return Sunday Reid is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a trapezius injury.
Impact Reid suffered the injury in the first half and has not returned since then. In the event that he doesn't return to action, then Nathan Knight would be in line to see more minutes.

Dominates in spot start Reid had 28 points (11-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 112-110 victory over the Thunder.
Impact Reid moved into the starting lineup with Rudy Gobert (ankle) sidelined, delivering easily his best performance of the year. As a matter of fact, this may even be the best performance of his career, just rewards for anyone who managed to stream him in. It is unclear if Gobert will miss further time as a result of his injury but if that is the case, Reid becomes a must-roster player across all formats.

Reid scores 28 as Timberwolves top Thunder, snap 3-game skid
Naz Reid scored a season-high 28 points and the shorthanded Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-110 to snap a three-game losing streakDECEMBER 17, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Starting Friday Reid will join the starting lineup for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.
Impact Reid will draw his first start of the season with Rudy Gobert (ankle) out for the game. Joining him in the starting five is Austin Rivers, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Kyle Anderson. Reid should garner significant streaming interest from fantasy managers given his double-double upside.

Hits double figures again Reid finished with 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes in Monday's 133-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Though Reid's production has tailed off since he turned in a 13-18 game with four blocks and three assists in 30 minutes in a Dec. 3 game in which Rudy Gobert was ejected in the first half, the fourth-year big man has remained serviceable in deeper leagues while seeing his typical amount of playing time behind Gobert. He's reached double figures in scoring in three of those contests while grabbing at least three boards on each occasion and shooting 54.8 percent from the field and 83.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Naz Reid in 'roller coaster' adapting to Wolves frontcourt changes With the addition of Rudy Gobert, and now an injury to Karl-Anthony Towns, Reid is playing a different role.
DECEMBER 7, 2022 • STARTRIBUNE.COM
Monster day on boards Reid supplied 13 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 18 rebounds, four blocks and three assists in 30 minutes during Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Impact With Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) sidelined and with Rudy Gobert getting ejected in the first half, the Timberwolves had to turn to Reid to hold down the fort at center. While logging his most minutes of the season, Reid delivered an excellent stat line highlighted by the excellent rebounding and blocks production. The Timberwolves haven't shown much of an inclination to play Reid and Gobert alongside one another, so on nights when Gobert is able to avoid foul trouble, Reid could find it difficult to clear 20 minutes even while Towns remains out for at least the next month.

Plays rim protector in win Reid accumulated seven points (3-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 victory over the Grizzli...
Impact Reid tallied a season-high five blocks on the night after failing to record a block in three straight games coming into Wednesday's action. His scoring production has been nothing to marvel at so far this year, as he is averaging 7.6 points over 22 matchups, but he could see increased opportunities moving forward with Karl-Anthony Towns set to miss the next 4-to-6 weeks with a strained calf.

Edwards sparks Towns-less T-wolves, 109-101 over Grizzlies
Anthony Edwards had 29 points, five steals and three blocks to lead Minnesota to a 109-101 victory over the Memphis GrizzliesDECEMBER 1, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Plays in garbage time Reid (illness) played the final 1:46 of Wednesday's 126-108 win over the Magic, logging one rebound and one assist.
Impact Though 12 players took the court for the Timberwolves on the night, head coach Chris Finch essentially ran a nine-man rotation. None of Reid, Nathan Knight or A.J. Lawson took the floor until the final two minutes, when Minnesota had built a 22-point lead. If Finch elects to expand the rotation to back to 10 men moving forward, Reid would be the most likely beneficiary, though he would still only be in store for a limited role off the bench behind starting center Rudy Gobert. Before missing the Wolves' previous three games with an illness, Reid had averaged 10.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15.6 minutes per contest over his last five outings, though Gobert sat out two of those games.

Slated to return Wednesday Reid (illness) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Magic.
Impact Reid returned to practice Tuesday, which seemed a likely signal he would be given the green light. Reid's absence from the injury report essentially confirms that to be the case. He should resume his duties as a double-digit minute contributor off the bench behind Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns in the Timberwolves' frontcourt.
NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Back at practice Reid (illness) participated in practice Tuesday, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact The Timberwolves have yet to release an updated injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Magic, but Reid's ability to practice suggests he's on track to end his three-game absence. Expect Reid to step back into head coach Chris Finch's rotation as the primary backup to starting center Rudy Gobert.
