Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Adds 10 points in win
Rotowire
Shannon notched 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across 17 minutes during Saturday's 119-115 victory over Boston.
Shannon tied the bench-high mark in points for the Timberwolves and was one of six Minnesota players to reach double figures. The second-year swingman posted zero points in his return from a nine-game absence due to a bone bruise in his left foot during Monday's overtime loss to the Kings, though he has totaled 28 points over his last two appearances. He'll likely continue providing a spark off the bench and is expected to maintain a relatively consistent role.

Shannon notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Shannon's results weren't surprising considering his excellent returns during Summer League and his frequent usage in the preseason. While the 2024 first-round pick's numbers are encouraging, he's still one or two injuries away from making a significant fantasy impact.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Productive night Tuesday
Rotowire
Shannon ended with nine points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three steals and two rebounds in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 135-134 preseason loss to the Pacers.
Shannon was arguably the best player on the floor for the Timberwolves, continuing to make his push for more playing time. Following a subdued rookie campaign, Shannon has a chance to carve out a 20-minute per-game role for himself, sliding in for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who is now with the Hawks. Should the Timberwolves suffer any major injuries, look for Shannon to step into an even larger role.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Shooting woes in preseason win
Rotowire
Shannon supplied 11 points (2-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 21 minutes in Saturday's 126-116 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Shannon struggled with efficiency but still finished as one of five Minnesota players to score in double figures. The second-year swingman has a chance to carve out a significant role behind Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels with Nickeil Alexander-Walker now with the Hawks. Shannon appeared in 32 regular-season games (one start) last season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.5 rebounds while shooting 48.2 percent from the field across 10.6 minutes per game.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Exits to locker room Monday
Rotowire
Shannon exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left shoulder injury in the second quarter of Monday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Shannon left for the locker room with 7:19 remaining in the first half after a collision with an opposing player. However, the rookie has since returned to the club's bench, per Frederick, which bodes well for his chances of returning.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Shows out in Game 3 victory
Rotowire
Shannon contributed 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 143-101 win over the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
Shannon became just the third rookie to score at least 15 points off the bench during the postseason and the first Minnesota player to do so, taking advantage of what was a thumping victory by the Timberwolves. While this was a much-needed win, it is unlikely the Thunder will turn up with the same effort, or lack thereof, when the two teams meet again Monday. Despite Shannon's scoring outburst, he remains nothing more than a depth piece, having played a total of just seven minutes in the previous eight games combined.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Plays in garbage time Friday
Rotowire
Shannon (groin) played the final 3:22 of Friday's 117-91 win over the Nets, finishing with one rebound and one foul during his time on the court.
Shannon saw his first game action since March 24 after he recently missed time due to a right groin strain, though he had been available off the bench in both of the last two contests. With the Timberwolves building a big lead by the fourth quarter, Shannon got the opportunity to see the floor in garbage time. Shannon could be in store for a slightly larger role in Sunday's season finale against the Jazz, as the Timberwolves could need him to play some minutes on the wing while Anthony Edwards serves an automatic one-game suspension stemming from him picking up his 18th technical foul of the season Friday.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Lands on injury report Friday
Rotowire
Shannon is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to right groin soreness.
The groin soreness is a new concern for Shannon, who was a late addition to the club's injury report. The rookie first-round pick has received inconsistent playing time over his last 10 outings, averaging 1.6 points across only 8.1 minutes per contest. With no other injuries to report for the Timberwolves, Shannon isn't likely to play a significant role if he's cleared to suit up Friday.
Shannon is in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Jazz on Friday.
Shannon has played at least 19 minutes off the bench in each of his last six games, and he's coming off a career-high 25-point performance against the Lakers on Thursday. Over that six-game span, the rookie first-round pick has averaged 13.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 24.2 minutes per contest while shooting 53.6 percent from the field. Shannon will make his first-career NBA start Friday -- in part due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (suspension) -- while Jaylen Clark retreats to the bench.
