Bennett played 17 minutes and had four points (1-4 FG, 2-2 FT) with three rebounds, two assists, and two steals in the loss to the Pelicans on Friday.

Bennett received a few extra minutes in the blowout win. Thaddeus Young (personal) was also out, but Bennett was not able to do much with his extra playing time. He is a player to monitor, but not pick up.

Bennett (knee) scored two points and collected four rebounds and one block in nine minutes Wednesday.

Bennett missed the Timberwolves last game with knee soreness. Coach Flip Saunders has been giving Bennett consistent run off the bench, so if Thadeus Young ever gets injured, it appears Bennett would be plugged in as the starter at power forward. Due to his considerable upside in fantasy, Bennett should be on all watchlists.

Bennett (knee) will be active for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Bennett will be in uniform, but it's currently unclear how much time on the court the forward will actually see after missing back-to-back-contests due to knee swelling. There's a chance he'll serve in relief of Thaddeus Young, but don't necessarily look for Young's minutes to take a major hit as a result.

Bennett (knee) practiced Tuesday, but is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, T-Wolves radio announcer Alan Horton reports.

Bennett injured the knee in Friday's game against the Magic, which forced him from the game after less than a minute. He was held out of Saturday's matchup against the Heat and will be questionable to play Wednesday. It's a positive sign that he was able to practice Tuesday, which should at least give a little more optimism on a possible return. If not Wednesday, he'll most likely return shortly after that.

Bennett (knee) will not play against the Heat on Saturday.

Bennett is still dealing with lingering soreness in his right knee and will not be able to play Saturday as a result. His next opportunity to take the court will be against the Rockets on Wednesday.

Bennett (knee) is questionable to play in Saturday's game.

He was limited Friday with an ankle injury, and those in daily leagues would be wise to look elsewhere on Saturday.

Bennett was limited Friday with a knee injury, Turner Sports' Ethan J. Skolnick reports.

He played less than a minute Friday, and while it's not clear how serious the injury is, or how he sustained it, those in daily leagues should opt for another option in the coming days.

Bennett played in less than a minute Friday against the Magic, scoring two points on his one possession.

Bennett's only points came on two free-throws. His low playing time comes two days after he appeared in only 12 minutes against the Nets, scoring four points that night. Bennett owners may want to consider swapping him out for a better option on the waiver wire at this point.

Bennett scored 12 points with five rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bulls.

Bennett could get more playing time at power forward if Thaddeus Young's neck strain causes him to miss a game or two. He was 6-of-7 from the field and showed he could be a threat with his mid-range jumper.

Bennett scored just four points with five rebounds in 14 minutes in Thursday's win over Detroit.

Bennett has played 14 minutes in each of Minnesota's first two games, so it looks like he'll have a regular role off the bench. And his minutes will likely increase later in the season.

Bennett scored nine points with three rebounds in 14 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Memphis.

Bennett had an impressive preseason and it looks like that won him a role as one of the top forwards off the bench. His role could grow if he continues to be active at the rim.

Bennett scored 17 points with six rebounds in 29 minutes in Friday's preseason win over Chicago.

Bennett played just eight minutes in the previous preseason game as he was rested. He continues to have an impressive preseason as he averaged 14.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game in games where he played more than 11 minutes. He'll have a role off the bench, but Friday's game indicates it could be a sizable role as the T-Wolves more or less played their regular roster except for injured Andrew Wiggins.

Bennett did not score and played just eight minutes in Wednesday's preseason win over Milwaukee, but head coach Flip Saunders said he was just being rested and it wasn't setback to his sore knee, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Bennett has drawn raves for his rebounding and energy in the preseason (averaging 14 points with eight rebounds in the three preseason games where he played more than 11 minutes), so this minimal outing likely doesn't impact his potential role for the regular season. Bennett will start off the bench, but could find a significant role at small and power forward.

Bennett (knee) scored 17 points with five rebounds in 21 minutes in Tuesday's preseason win over the Pacers.

Bennett played just 11 minutes in in Sunday's preseason game with a sore knee, but it doesn't look like an ailment to worry about. Bennett continues to have a strong preseason as he's averaging 14 points with eight rebounds in the three preseason games where he played more than 11 minutes.

Bennett scored just one point and played just 11 minutes in Sunday's preseason win over Oklahoma City. He was given limited playing time due to a sore knee, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The knee injury sounds minor as he was given limited minutes as a precaution. It did end a streak of two consecutive strong preseason games (25 points and 19 rebounds total) that may have him set for a larger role off the bench than expected.

Bennett had his 2015-16 contract option picked up by Minnesota on Sunday.

Bennett hasn't played a regular season game for Minnesota yet, but the team confirmed Sunday that they are committed to the 21-year-old for the next two years. When the season starts, the second-year player will likely come off the bench in relief of Thaddeus Young.

Bennett scored 12 points with 11 rebounds in 30 minutes in Friday's preseason loss to Milwaukee.

It was another impressive preseason game from Bennett. He could enter the regular season with a larger role off the bench than first expected.

Bennett scored 13 points with eight rebounds in 25 minutes in Friday's preseason win over the 76ers. He made an impression on head coach Flip Saunders in his Timberwolves debut. "Just his composure and demeanor," Saunders told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "He understood everything we were trying to do offensively. He got his hands on a lot of balls."

It was Bennett's Minnesota debut after he sat out the first preseason game with a hip fexor strain. It's not clear how big a role Bennett will have with the T-Wolves after an underwhelming rookie season last year in Cleveland, so his strong outing his first preseason game is a good sign.

Bennett (leg) is expected to play in Friday's preseason game, T-Wolves' radio announcer Alan Horton reports.

He is dealing with a hip flexor strain, but should be considered relatively healthy if he's likely to play in Friday's exhibition.

Bennett (leg) is questionable for Friday's preseason matchup with Philadelphia, Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The second-year forward is dealing with a hip flexor strain, which kept him out of the exhibition opener Tuesday. If he plays Friday, he'll likely see extended minutes at both forward spots as the team attempts to determine where he best fits into the young rotation.
