Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Could miss another game Wednesday
Rotowire
Shannon (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Houston.
Shannon didn't play in Monday's 112-100 win over Milwaukee. The 26-year-old is having the best season of his career, averaging 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists over 22.0 minutes per contest, so being without him once again would be a tough blow for the Timberwolves. If Shannon misses his second consecutive game, Cody Williams, Trey Lyles and Jaylen Clark could each see more minutes.

Shannon made the most of what ended up being a blowout win, scoring double digits for the third straight game to begin the season. In three appearances, he has averaged 12.7 points and 2.3 three-pointers, providing Minnesota with worthwhile contributions. Anyone in deeper formats could do worse, given the fact his role appears relatively secure.

Rotowire
Shannon (undisclosed) contributed five points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 18 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.
Shannon returned from a one-game absence and saw significant minutes as a reserve but struggled to make much of an impact. After averaging 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes across 43 regular-season appearances last season, the wing will look to carve out a consistent role off the bench during the 2026-27 campaign.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Fresh competition for minutes
Rotowire
Shannon faces additional competition for playing time following Minnesota's agreement with Jonathan Kuminga.
Shannon currently sits second behind Anthony Edwards at shooting guard while providing depth at both forward spots, but Kuminga's expected place in the starting five further crowds Minnesota's wing rotation. Shannon should still have an opportunity to earn a reserve role, though he'll be competing with Ayo Dosunmu, Jaylen Clark and others for minutes behind the starters.

Shannon's emergence in Minnesota due to some key injuries has really helped the team remain on course.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Big effort at charity stripe
Rotowire
Shannon closed with 26 points (6-18 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 14-18 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 victory over the Pelicans.
Shannon was inefficient from the field and failed to knock down a three-pointer, but he got to the charity stripe consistently and grinded his way to a team-best 26 points. Seeing heavy minutes of late, the 25-year-old has eclipsed the 20-point mark in each of the Timberwolves' past three games. He'll close the regular season averaging 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes across 43 appearances.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Moves back outside of rotation
Rotowire
Shannon (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Timberwolves' 127-117 win over the Warriors.
Shannon had appeared in each of Minnesota's previous four contests and averaged 7.8 minutes per game, but his spot in the rotation disappeared Friday while the Timberwolves welcomed Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) back from a one-game absence. Now at full health, the Timberwolves are likely to run out a nine-man rotation in most games, but Shannon appears to be the next man up to join the second unit if Minnesota is missing a player at any point.
