Starting for injured Edwards Prince will start Saturday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact With Anthony Edwards (ankle) missing his first game of the season Saturday, Prince will get the nod. It's unclear when Edwards, who is in a walking boot, will return, so Prince could earn more starts beyond this weekend. In two previous starts, Prince has averaged 9.5 points, 6.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 25.5 minutes.

Scores 13 points in 25 minutes Prince registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 117-94 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Prince led the bench unit with 25 minutes, scoring at least 10 points for the third time in his past four games. However, before managers get too excited, it should be noted that this was a blowout, resulting in additional minutes for many of the second and third units. Prince can have some deep league appeal, but as for standard formats, he should be viewed as nothing more than a stream candidate, and a risky one at that.

Back in action Tuesday Prince (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Prince didn't travel with the team for Sunday's matchup at Golden State, but he'll join the squad in time to suit up Tuesday evening after missing the last two matchups due to a personal matter. The Baylor product is averaging 8.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five appearances.

Not on road trip Head coach Chris Finch said Prince isn't traveling with the Timberwolves on their current four-game road trip, which began Sunday at Golden State, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Sta...

Impact Prince has been away from the Timberwolves for the team's first two games out of the All-Star break, and he looks set to miss the remaining three contests of the trip while he tends to the personal matter. His absence could result in the Timberwolves running more guard-heavy lineups that afford Jordan McLaughlin, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jaylen Nowell (knee) and Austin Rivers more run on the second unit.

Out Sunday Prince (personal) will not play Sunday against the Warriors, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact This will be the second straight game on the sidelines for Prince, and with Jaylen Nowell (knee) also on the inactive list, Nickeil Alexander-Walker should be able to flirt with minutes in the mid-20s. Alexander-Walker put up 13 points, three boards, one assist, three triples, one steal and one block in 24 minutes off the bench his last time out, so he could be someone to consider as a streamer.

Questionable vs. Warriors Prince (personal) is questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Warriors.

Impact Prince sat out Friday's loss to Charlotte due to a personal matter, which could keep him out again Sunday. If that's the case, Jaylen Nowell (knee), Austin Rivers and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could see more action.

Out Friday Prince (personal) is out for Friday's game against the Hornets.

Questionable Friday Prince is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets due to personal reasons.

Impact Prince was a late addition to Friday's injury report, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up for the Timberwolves' first game after the All-Star break. If he's unavailable against Charlotte, Austin Rivers and Kyle Anderson could see increased run.

Impact Kyle Anderson will replace Taurean Prince in the starting five Thursday. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 9.0 points, 3.6 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.8 minutes across his past five games.

Impact Prince will benefit from the absence of Rudy Gobert (groin) and Kyle Anderson (back), joining the starting frontcourt alongside Naz Reid. With the Timberwolves extremely thin, Prince should be in for a large workload Wednesday.

Fight between Magic, Timberwolves leads to 5 players ejected

A fight broke out and punches were thrown during the game between the Orlando Magic and Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night

Ejected against Orlando Prince was among five players ejected Friday against Orlando.

Impact Mo Bamba and Austin Rivers could be looking at suspensions, while Prince, Jaden McDaniels and Jalen Suggs were minorly involved and were tossed as a result. Prince and McDaniels will likely be safe in terms of their availability going forward, which is a relief for Minnesota after Kyle Anderson tweaked his back injury.

Upgraded to available Prince (ankle) will play in Friday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Prince has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite a nagging ankle injury. The 28-year-old forward will likely play around his typical 20 minutes off the bench.

Questionable Friday Prince (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.

Impact Prince continues to deal with a left ankle sprain, but he's been available for the last two matchups. He's averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game over his last two appearances, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Friday.

Will play Wednesday Prince (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Prince returned to action Monday following a four-game absence due to a left ankle sprain and totaled three points and four rebounds in 13 minutes. He was back on the injury report and listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game, but he's officially been cleared and should garner another limited role off the bench.

Questionable Wednesday Prince is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Prince is questionable Wednesday after playing 13 minutes against the Kings following a four-game absence due to his ankle injury. Given his lingering injury, the 28-year-old forward could be limited again if he's able to suit up against Golden State.

Returns to action Monday Prince logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes during Monday's 118-111 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Prince was back on the court Monday, returning after missing four straight games due to an ankle injury. He logged 13 minutes in the loss, failing to produce anything of note. He does help the Timberwolves by providing a spark off the bench, typically on the offensive end of the floor. If he can get back to playing upward of 22 minutes per night, he is at least worth a look in deeper formats. For those in standard leagues, there is no reason to pay too much attention.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Prince (ankle) is available to play Monday against the Kings.

Impact Prince was listed on the injury report as questionable due to an ankle sprain, but he's been given the green light to take the court after missing his squad's last four matchups. He's averaging 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his last five appearances.
