Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Available vs. OKC
Clark (neck) is available for Monday's game against the Thunder, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Head coach Chris Finch confirmed Clark's availability for this matchup, though that might not matter much in most fantasy formats. The former UCLA standout averages a mere 14.9 minutes per game in his 16 appearances (two starts) this season.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Listed as questionable
Clark is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to neck soreness.
Clark recorded 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four steals and one rebound in 17 minutes of a start Sunday against the Thunder before leaving the game for good. With Minnesota shorthanded again, Clark could see a healthy workload if he's able to shake this questionable tag.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Another absence coming
Randle (groin) will not play Monday against the Thunder.
Randle, who was recently cleared for 5-on-5 with contact, isn't quite ready to return Monday. There's a chance he could be back for Thursday's game versus the Lakers with a couple more practices under his belt, however.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Out again Monday
Gobert (back) will not play Monday against the Thunder.
Gobert can't seem to shake his back spasms and will be sidelined for a fourth straight contest. His next chance to play comes Thursday against the Lakers. Naz Reid will likely continue to start and is averaging 23.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers and 2.7 blocks over his last three games.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Double-doubles in loss
McDaniels contributed 17 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 loss to the Thunder.
With Donte DiVincenzo (toe), Julius Randle (groin) and Rudy Gobert (neck) all battling injuries, Minnesota is very shorthanded these days. McDaniels has been logging a ton of minutes as a result, and his usage is up as well. Over his last five games, McDaniels has produced averages of 15.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Scores seven points
Shannon notched seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 19 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 loss to the Thunder.
Jaylen Clark suffered a neck injury during Sunday's game and was unable to return as the injury report continues to grow in Minnesota. Shannon has seen a decent-sized role over his last four games, averaging 9.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 three-pointers in 21.8 minutes per contest.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Strong performance in loss
Reid had 22 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 40 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 loss to the Thunder.
With Rudy Gobert missing his third straight game with back spasms, Reid drew another start at center and made the most of it. He's been on an absolute tear over his last three games, averaging 23.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.7 three-pointers and 2.7 blocks on 50.0 percent shooting from the field.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Injures neck Sunday
Clark has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Thunder due to neck pain.
Clark exited the game in the third quarter after taking a fall on a layup attempt. He concluded the contest with 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four steals and one rebound in 17 minutes of play. Terrence Shannon could move into an increased role off the Minnesota bench if Clark isn't available for Minnesota's next game Monday in Oklahoma City.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Heads to locker room Sunday
Clark went to the locker room after suffering an apparent head injury, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Clark left for the locker room in the third quarter after taking a fall on a layup attempt. After getting up, Clark seemed a little dazed, so it wouldn't be surprising if he is being evaluated for a concussion. If he is unable to return, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Terrence Shannon could see extra minutes.

Timberwolves' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Slotted to bench
Alexander-Walker will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Alexander-Walker has started the last five games due to Donte DiVincenzo (toe) being out of the lineup, but he will come off the bench Sunday with Jaylen Clark entering the starting five. In his last three games in a bench role, Alexander-Walker averaged 5.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.0 minutes per contest.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Starting Sunday
Clark is in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Thunder on Sunday.
Clark will make his second start of the season Sunday while Nickeil Alexander-Walker comes off the bench. Clark's first start came Feb. 13 against Oklahoma City, when he finished with four points, three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 24 minutes in a 116-101 win.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Nearing return
There is optimism DiVincenzo will return during the Timberwolves four-game road trip, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
DiVincenzo has been out of the lineup since Jan. 15 due to a sprained toe, but he seems to be nearing a return. After just being cleared for non-contact basketball activities Thursday, Charania now reports the team is hopeful DiVincenzo will be able to return to the lineup sometime in the upcoming week. Until then, Mike Conley figures to maintain the starting point guard job.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Still out against OKC
Gobert (back) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Thunder.
Gobert's absence streak will extend to three games Sunday due to lower back spasms. Until the defensive stalwart is able to return to action, Naz Reid and Luka Garza should continue to soak up the majority of Minnesota's center minutes. Gobert's next chance to suit up is Monday's rematch with the Thunder.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Not playing Sunday
Randle (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Randle was recently cleared to return to five-on-five activities, but he hasn't quite progressed enough in his recovery from a groin injury to return Sunday. His next chance to play will be Monday in a rematch with Oklahoma City, but it doesn't appear likely that Randle will be available for that game, either.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Perfect showing from line in loss
Conley (finger) tallied five points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes in Friday's 121-115 loss to the Rockets.
Conley was cleared to play in Minnesota's first game coming out of the All-Star break after he had missed the previous four contests due to a right index finger sprain. The veteran point guard came through with a perfect showing from the free-throw line and committed just one turnover against five assists, but his stat line was otherwise underwhelming. Conley remains secure in a starting role, but he frequently plays under 30 minutes and is maintaining a 14.9 percent usage rate on the season, rendering him little more than a low-end option in 12-team leagues.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Stays hot in Friday's loss
Reid closed with 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 121-115 loss to Houston.
Making his ninth straight start in the absence of Julius Randle (groin), Reid also benefitted from Rudy Gobert (back) needing a little more rest coming out of the All-Star break. The three blocks tied Reid's season high, and he's scored more than 20 points in six of the last eight games, averaging 21.4 points, 9.4 boards, 3.9 assists, 2.9 threes, 1.6 blocks and 0.8 steals in 36.3 minutes a contest. Once Randle and Gobert are both healthy, Reid's usage and production will see a steep drop, but the 25-year-old big should remain in the starting five if only one of the veterans is cleared to return for Sunday and Monday's home-and-home set against the Thunder.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Hits for 21 in Houston
McDaniels racked up 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 42 minutes during Friday's 121-115 loss to the Rockets.
The fifth-year forward was productive once again as Julius Randle (groin) remained sidelined coming out of the All-Star break. McDaniels has scored more than 20 points in five of nine February contests, averaging 17.9 points, 7.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.4 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks on the month, but his usage figures to decline as soon as Randle is cleared to get back in the lineup.
