Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Won't return Monday

Reid has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Jazz due to a head injury, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports. He recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one block in 17 minutes prior to his departure.

The Timberwolves are already without Rudy Gobert (rib) on Monday and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is likely done for the regular season, so Reid's early exit leaves Minnesota without its top three big men. Head coach Chris Finch could be forced to rely on more small-ball lineups for the rest of the night or lean more heavily on two-way player Luka Garza at center.
