Garnett (knee) remains doubtful for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Garnett (knee) won't play Friday against the Pelicans.
Garnett hasn't played since Mar. 7 due to the knee issue, and it appears Friday is no exception. It remains unclear when, or if he'll return to the court this season, but the Timberwolves have nothing left to play for, and thus, no reason to rush him back.

Garnett has been held out of the last 10 contests with lingering knee soreness, and at this point it's unclear when - and possibly if - he'll return this season.

Garnett (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Lakers.
Garnett hasn't played since Mar. 7, and the Timberwolves have not made clear what their plan is for the veteran down the stretch. Continue to consider Garnett questionable on a game-to-game basis, and he's unlikely to be much of a fantasy factor going forward.

Garnett (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Garnett was questionable for the last game and didn't play, so there's little reason to think he'll suit up Wednesday.

His absence, along with Nikola Pekovic's (ankle), will allow Gorgui Dieng and Adreian Payne to continue holding down the starting frontcourt. Meanwhile, consider Garnett questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers.

Garnett recently received a second opinion on his sore knee and learned that a procedure to correct the issue isn't required.
