Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Goes scoreless in blowout loss
Rotowire
Hyland notched zero points (0-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 126-102 loss to the Hawks.
Hyland failed to score for the first time since Nov 30, a span of 12 games. While it does appear as though he has supplanted Mike Conley as the backup point guard, Hyland's production has been far too inconsistent to consider him a sustainable fantasy asset. At best, he can be utilized for streaming purposes by anyone needing threes and assists.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Hyland will return to the second unit for Friday's game versus the Thunder.
Anthony Edwards (foot) is back and starting, so Hyland's value will take a hit with the return to the reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Hyland has recorded averages of 4.3 points and 1.4 assists in 9.0 minutes per game.
Hyland logged 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block across 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-103 win over Sacramento.
Hyland was cleared to play only a few hours before tipoff, as he was dealing with a bruised knee, but he got the start and ended up being one of the most productive players for Minnesota in this win. Hyland should remain in the first unit as long as Anthony Edwards (foot) remains sidelined. Hyland seems to have more consideration from the coaching staff compared to other backcourt alternatives such as Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Questionable to face Sacramento
Rotowire
Hyland (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
After drawing the start with Anthony Edwards (foot) sidelined, Hyland exited Friday's win over the Warriors in the first quarter due to a right knee contusion and was unable to return.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Won't return Friday
Rotowire
Hyland (knee) won't return to Friday's game against the Warriors.
Hyland drew the start for the first time this season but sustained a right knee contusion in the first quarter, posting three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two assists in just under five minutes. With the VCU product joining Anthony Edwards (foot) and Mike Conley (Achilles) on the sidelines, Terrence Shannon, Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham are candidates for increased playing time. Hyland's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Kings.

Hyland is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Warriors due to a right knee contusion.
With Anthony Edwards (foot) sidelined, Hyland got the starting nod for the first time this season, though he logged just under five minutes before exiting Friday's contest. If the 25-year-old guard is unable to return, Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon are candidates for increased minutes the rest of the way.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Starting sans Edwards
Rotowire
Hyland will start against the Warriors on Friday.
With Anthony Edwards (foot) sidelined, Hyland will get the starting nod for the first time this season. He's coming off his best performance of the season in Monday's loss to the Suns, during which he posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 16 minutes.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Posts season high in loss
Rotowire
Hyland produced 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
After logging just one minute across Minnesota's previous eight games, Hyland supplanted Rob Dillingham in the rotation Monday and made an impact. The 25-year-old guard paced the Timberwolves bench with a season-high scoring haul, and his efforts will likely be enough to keep him in the rotation for at least the team's next game Friday at Golden State.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Limited role Wednesday
Rotowire
Hyland finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 victory over the Wizards.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Earns reserve role in opener
Rotowire
Hyland scored two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in eight minutes in Wednesday's win at Portland. He was used off the bench late in the game ahead of Rob Dillingham because because head coach Chris Finch said "that's someone I felt could handle (the ball) out there and could stand up to some of the (Blazers) drives," according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Hyland isn't likely to have much of a role off the bench for the T-Wolves, barring several injuries, but it's certainly notable that he got minutes ahead of 2024 eighth overall draft pick Dillingham, who was thought to have a growing role off the bench this season. Minnesota's point guard situation is a bit in flux, so there could be an opportunity for Hyland to win more minutes off the bench.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Scores 10 in preseason loss
Rotowire
Hyland posted 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal over 20 minutes of action in Friday's 126-110 preseason loss to Philadelphia.
Hyland is not expected to be a contributor in Minnesota's rotation, especially not right away, but having another double-digit scoring output is encouraging. In six preseason games, Hyland averaged 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks over 16.2 minutes.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Drops 18 points in preseason win
Rotowire
Hyland finished with 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes in Saturday's 126-116 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Hyland impressed during Minnesota's preseason opener, leading all scorers in an efficient performance. The 25-year-old guard signed a partially guaranteed one-year contract with the team in mid-September and is likely to provide backcourt depth for the Timberwolves in the 2025-26 campaign. He appeared in 24 regular-season games between the Timberwolves and Clippers last season, during which he averaged 6.2 points and 1.3 assists across 10.0 minutes per contest.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Set to join Timberwolves
Rotowire
Hyland and the Timberwolves agreed to a deal Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
After fizzling out with the Clippers to begin last year, Hyland has landed an opportunity to rejoin the Timberwolves for training camp in an effort to make the final roster. The 2021 first-rounder is capable of providing instant offense off the bench, as he averaged 6.2 points, 0.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in just 10.0 minutes per game over 24 regular-season contests in 2024-25. However, he'll likely be hard-pressed to find playing time in the Minnesota backcourt if he makes the Opening Night roster.
