Minnesota recalled Minott from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Tuesday.
Minott, Leonard Miller, Wendell Moore, Luka Garza and Daishen Nix were all sent to the G League earlier Tuesday to presumably practice but have since returned to the NBA club.

Timberwolves' Josh Minott: Stands out against Maccabi
Rotowire
Minott delivered 23 points (9-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three blocks across 32 minutes in Tuesday's 138-111 preseason win over Maccabi.
Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch gave minutes to several players who are competing for the final roster spots, and there's no question Minott stood out with a strong display on both ends of the court while also co-leading the team in field-goal attempts. However, Minott has a tough road ahead of him to make the Opening Night roster, and it's not out of the question to imagine him opening the regular season in the G League instead.

Timberwolves' Josh Minott: Held scoreless in preseason win
Rotowire
Minott logged zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 11 minutes during Thursday's 111-99 preseason win over Dallas.
Minott made just 15 appearances for Minnesota last year and averaged 3.1 points and 1.7 rebounds in 6.4 minutes per game. He didn't have much of a role off the bench during Thursday's exhibition matchup and is unlikely to see significant minutes once the regular season begins.
Minott (ankle) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Nuggets.
Minott will be able to suit up despite his ankle injury as the Timberwolves attempt to avoid elimination. However, he's unlikely to play a significant role Sunday.

Timberwolves' Josh Minott: Sent down to G League
Rotowire
The Timberwolves assigned Minott to the Iowa Wolves of the G League on Thursday.
Minott didn't appear in Minnesota's last two games after playing in the previous four. However, the rookie forward should receive a more featured role in the G League.
