Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Starting Wednesday
Dosunmu will move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Warriors, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
With Anthony Edwards (knee) set to miss the next few months, Dosunmu will be starting in Minnesota until further notice. As a starter last season, Dosunmu averaged 17.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.2 triples and 1.1 steals per game on 50/47/89 shooting splits.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Dishes out nine dimes Friday
Dosunmu recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's 115-93 win over the Magic.
Seven Minnesota players scored in double digits Friday, but none recorded more than 15 points, and Dosunmu made his presence felt by leading the team in assists and ranking third in rebounds. Despite his bench role, Dosunmu should be a valuable fantasy alternative in most formats due to his scoring and playmaking ability.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Productive in season opener
Dosunmu provided 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 131-106 victory over Miami.
As expected, Dosunmu was the first player off Minnesota's bench during their dominant season-opening win. He finished third on the team in minutes played behind Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert and even shared the court with Ant and LaMelo Ball. Dosunmu should see 30-plus minutes a night, especially in more competitive games, while providing contributions across the board.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Adds 11 points off bench
Dosunmu chipped in 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block across 20 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason win over the Knicks.
After resting Saturday, Dosunmu returned to action and provided a spark off the bench with three triples. His three steals also matched a game high. The Illinois product averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 24 regular-season appearances (nine starts) with the Timberwolves last season and is positioned to be a key contributor during the 2026-27 campaign.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Comes off bench Monday
Dosunmu finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds across 13 minutes in Monday's 116-97 preseason win over Milwaukee.
Dosunmu wasn't in the starting lineup Monday night. Instead, it was Jonathan Kuminga who started alongside LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels. The 26-year-old was traded by the Bulls ahead of last season's deadline. In 34 regular-season games with the Timberwolves, including nine starts, Dosunmu averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.9 minutes per contest. It's possible Dosunmu will earn some starts during the 2026-27 campaign, and though he might come off the bench routinely, he should remain a stable fantasy contributor.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: In Minnesota for the long run
Dosunmu reiterated Monday that he views Minnesota as his long-term home after re-signing with the Timberwolves during the offseason, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
"I felt at home. That was the most important part," Dosunmu said, adding that he can envision starting a family in Minnesota and pointing to the area's public schools as another factor in his desire to stay. The 26-year-old signed a five-year, $112 million deal this summer after averaging 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists across 24 regular-season appearances for Minnesota following his midseason arrival from Chicago.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Role threatened
Dosunmu could be headed to the second unit following Minnesota's agreement with Jonathan Kuminga.
Dosunmu currently sits atop the Timberwolves' depth chart at small forward, but Kuminga was reportedly recruited with the opportunity to start at power forward, which would likely shift Jaden McDaniels back to small forward. Dosunmu should still command a significant role as one of Minnesota's top reserves and can handle minutes at multiple perimeter positions, though the addition of Kuminga makes a starting job less likely.
