Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Plays well Sunday
DiVincenzo produced 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes of Sunday's 115-110 preseason loss to the Knicks.
DiVincenzo's terrific preseason continues, and this time he made his presence felt against his former teammates. It's been pretty clear that DiVincenzo will have a big role with Minnesota, as he brings a lot to the table with his playmaking and floor-spacing ability.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Drops 31 in loss
Edwards recorded 31 points (11-19 FG, 1-2 FT, 8-13 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 preseason loss to the Knicks.
In his preseason debut, Edwards had a subpar game by his standards, logging 16 points on 14 shots, but he returned to form Sunday, putting down eight three-pointers en route to a game-high 31 points. The 23-year-old pro is coming off a stellar season in which he averaged 25.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.1 minutes per game across 79 regular-season contests. He looks poised for another outstanding year.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Scheduled day off Sunday
Conley (rest) has been ruled out of Sunday's preseason matchup against the Knicks.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Back in starting five Sunday
Gobert (undisclosed) is available and starting in Sunday's preseason matchup against the Knicks.
Gobert was able to suit up for the Timberwolves' preseason opener on Oct. 4, though he has yet to play since. The 32-year-old will give it a go Sunday, though it is unclear if he will be limited ahead of Opening Night.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Out again Sunday
Randle (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's preseason matchup against the Knicks, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Randle won't suit up against his former squad, though coach Chris Finch said Friday that the All-Star will return before the preseason comes to an end, according to Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'. Randle underwent shoulder surgery in April but is expected to be 100 percent by Opening Night. Randle's next chance to debut for the Timberwolves will come Wednesday against the Bulls.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Scores 17 in preseason win
McDaniels finished with 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a block across 24 minutes in Friday's 121-111 preseason win over the 76ers.
McDaniels played a team-high 24 minutes in this preseason contest, the same as Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Edwards, and he was one of three starters who surpassed the 15-point plateau, with Edwards and Naz Reid being the others. McDaniels is set to open the season as the Timberwolves' starting small forward after a 2023-24 playoff run in which he averaged 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game across 16 postseason contests.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Goes for 16 points in win
Edwards delivered 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and a steal across 24 minutes in Friday's 121-111 preseason win over the 76ers.
Edwards looked a bit rusty in the first quarter, but he got it going in the second quarter and made three buckets in a row at one point. The star guard, who will operate as the undisputed go-to player on offense for the Timberwolves following the trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks, is ramping up with an eye toward being fully ready for the regular-season opener against the Lakers on Opening Night.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Solid all-around effort Friday
Reid finished with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocks across 23 minutes in Friday's 121-111 preseason win over the 76ers.
Reid got the start at center since Rudy Gobert (undisclosed) didn't feature, and he made the most of the opportunity while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Gobert is penciled in as the starting center, but Reid should see plenty of minutes off the bench, which should make him valuable across the majority of fantasy formats. After all, he won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2023-24, when the 24-year-old averaged 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals across 24.2 minutes across 81 regular-season games.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Won't play vs. 76ers
Gobert (undisclosed) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the 76ers.
Gobert was initially listed as a game-time call Friday, but he won't be suiting up. This means the Timberwolves will go with Naz Reid at center and Jalen McDaniels at power forward in a very small lineup. Gobert's next chance to play will be Sunday against the Knicks.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Game-time call for Friday
Gobert (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Friday's preseason game against the 76ers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
It's unclear if the Timberwolves want to rest Gobert or if the Frenchman is dealing with an injury, but a decision on his status will be made closer to the 7 p.m. ET tip-off. If he doesn't start, then Naz Reid, Luka Garza and even Leonard Miller would be in line for bigger roles in the frontcourt.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Suiting up Friday
Edwards (rest) will play in Friday's preseason game versus the 76ers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Edwards will make his preseason debut Friday after sitting against the Lakers. However, Edwards will likely play limited minutes in his preseason outings until the regular season rolls around.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Won't play Friday
Randle (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game versus the 76ers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Randle will have to wait to make his Timberwolves debut as he recovers from a shoulder surgery he underwent in April which cut his 2023-24 campaign short. However, coach Chris Finch said Friday that the big man will return before the preseason comes to an end, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. The 29-year-old's next chance to debut will come Sunday versus the team that traded him to Minnesota this offseason -- the Knicks.

Timberwolves' Luka Garza: Just misses double-double Friday
Garza scored 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 Ft) while adding nine rebounds, an assist and a steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Friday's preseason win over the Lakers.
The 25-year-old center played big minutes as the Timberwolves eased key frontcourt players like Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid into the preseason schedule. Garza isn't expected to have a big role for Minnesota once again in 2024-25, but the trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks for Julius Randle gives Garza a slightly clearer path to minutes at center should injuries hit the team's big men.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Pops for 21 against Lakers
Dillingham scored 21 points (9-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt) while adding four assists and a rebound in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's preseason win over the Lakers.
The 19-year-old guard got plenty of run in Minnesota's preseason opener, and he showed off the skills that made him the eighth overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Dillingham may not see much of the court early in his rookie season behind a veteran backcourt led by Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo, but if injuries hit, the Kentucky product could be asked to do more than provide some instant offense off the bench.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Perfect in preseason debut
DiVincenzo scored 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt) while adding two rebounds and an assist in 10 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Lakers.
Seeing his first action since the trade that sent him to the Timberwolves, DiVincenzo put together a perfect shooting night before exiting along with the rest of the starting five. The 27-year-old guard will likely come off the bench behind Anthony Edwards when the regular season tips off, and after dropping a career-high 15.5 points and 3.5 threes over 81 games for the Knicks last season, DiVincenzo is expected to be one of the key pieces of Minnesota's second unit in 2024-25.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Starting in preseason opener
Reid will start at power forward in Friday's exhibition matchup with the Lakers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
With Julius Randle (shoulder) sidelined, Reid will get the start alongside Rudy Gobert in the frontcourt. When healthy, Randle is expected to start in the regular season, with Reid playing a similar role to what he saw in the 2023-24 campaign.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Starting vs. Lakers
DiVincenzo is starting in Friday's preseason game against the Lakers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
DiVincenzo will debut for Minnesota as the starting shooting guard in this preseason game. However, he won't carry this role into the regular season, as he'll only be part of the starting unit in this game due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (rest).

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Will not debut Friday
Randle (shoulder) will be held out of Friday's preseason opener versus the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Exactly one week after being dealt from New York to Minnesota, Randle is not ready to make his debut against the team that drafted him. This is unsurprising, as the big man was expected to be limited during the preseason as he recovers from a shoulder injury. When healthy, he is expected to start alongside Rudy Gobert in the frontcourt. In his absence Friday, Naz Reid is the likely candidate to start.
