Muhammad (ankle) is expected to play Friday against the Thunder, Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press reports.
Muhammad has battled through the ankle issue in both of Minnesota's games this week, and unless he suffers a setback, there's no reason to believe he won't continue to do so Friday. Muhammad is averaging 14.5 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 48 percent from the floor in December.

Muhammad (ankle) scored 14 points with two rebounds in 18 minutes in Monday's loss to the Warriors. He would have played more minutes but was limited by his sore ankle, head coach Flip Saunders told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Muhammad continues to provide solid scoring off the bench as he's averaged 18.3 points over his last three games. His role could continue to grow if his ankle isn't an issue.
Mon Dec 8 201419:16Shabazz Muhammad: (Ankle) Available Monday
Muhammad (ankle) will be available off the bench Monday against the Warriors.
Muhammed is dealing with lingering soreness in his left ankle, which he sprained last Wednesday. In the meantime, he's racked up 20 points apiece in both of the Timberwolves' outings, meaning his offensive prowess hasn't been allayed in the least. While his eventual workload Monday is unclear, he's still managed to produce in 17.3 minutes per game this season.

Muhammad (ankle) is considered questionable to play Monday against Golden State.
Muhammad, who played 21 minutes Saturday, is experiencing soreness in his left ankle, which he sprained in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. He's yet to miss any time, but he could take a seat Monday if the ankle is still bothering him after morning shootaround. The second-year wing has been productive off the bench of late, posting back-to-back 20-point games against the Rockets and Spurs over the weekend.

Muhammad scored 20 points with three rebounds in 21 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Spurs.
Muhammad is coming off the bench, but has scored 20 points in each of his last two games. He should continue to get consistent playing time and scoring chances in the near term with Minnesota's injury depleted roster.

Muhammad (ankle) scored 20 points with four rebounds in 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to Houston.
Muhammad was limited in his last game by a sore ankle, but it didn't appear to be an issue Friday. With Mo Williams out again Saturday due to a sore back, Muhammad should continue to get significant minutes and scoring opportunities off the bench.
Fri Dec 5 201419:13Muhammad (ankle) will play against Rockets on Friday
Muhammad (ankle) will play against the Rockets on Friday.
Muhammad was considered probable heading into Saturday despite suffering a minor ankle sprain against the 76ers on Wednesday. The 22-year-old is averaging 9.7 minutes per game this season and will likely play around that same number Friday.

Muhammad (ankle) is considered probable for Friday's game against the Rockets, Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press reports.
Muhammad suffered a minor sprained ankle against Philadelphia on Wednesday, although he seems to be in line to come off the bench against Houston regardless. In the event that he doesn't play, his next opportunity to get on the court will be Saturday against the Spurs.

Muhammad sustained a minor ankle injury during Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia, Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
The Wolves did not provide details on the injury, but Muhammad was held out of practice Thursday and his status for Friday's matchup with the Rockets could be in jeopardy. Check back after Friday's shootaround for a more definitive update. Muhammad scored just four points in 17 minutes against Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Muhammad scored four points with five rebounds in 17 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia.
After scoring 18 points and playing 27 minutes in Monday's game, Muhammad was surprisingly used less off the bench. He has potential for a larger role, but his playing time may be erratic in the near term.
Tue Dec 2 201401:27Muhammad scored team-high 18 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3P, 6-7 FT) wi...
Muhammad scored a team-high 18 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3P, 6-7 FT) with 10 rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's loss to the Clippers.
That's two impressive stat lines in a row for the sophomore wing, who's starting to earn some bigger minutes. Minnesota has a lot of young players to evaluate and determine who has a future, but Muhammad is putting himself in the conversation.
Mon Dec 1 201406:21Muhammad scored career-high 28 points (12-17 FG, 4-8 FT) in 30 m...
Muhammad scored a career-high 28 points (12-17 FG, 4-8 FT) in 30 minutes of action Sunday against the Blazers. He added five rebounds, one assist, and one block.
Muhammad has struggled in his second season, as he's averaging just 9.5 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game. His 30 minutes Sunday was likely a fluke, and it's highly unlikely he'll be putting up performances like these on a normal basis. He will need to be more consistent in order to be considered in most fantasy formats.

Muhammad scored 13 points in 16 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee. His minutes were limited because he needs to learn the offense better, head coach Flip Saunders told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Muhammad would likely be in store for significant minutes with multiple injuries to the starting lineup, so this news is a bit discouraging for a second year player.

Muhammad scored nine points (4-8 FG) to go with seven rebounds in Satuday's loss to the Kings.
Coach Flip Saunders opted to go with Anthony Bennett as the starting power forward Saturday, pushing Muhammad back to the bench after making two starts in the absence of Thaddeus Young (personal). With Young set to return this week, Muhammad will likely remain to a permanent bench role.

Muhammad scored just two points (1-7 FG) in 17 minutes in the loss to the Spurs on Friday.
Muhammad had scored a combined 35 points in his previous two games, but was cooled off by the San Antonio defense. The second-year forward will be inconsistent.

Muhammad will start at power forward Wednesday.
The T-Wolves are basically starting three shooting guards, and Muhammad is just the one slotted in at the four. He offers some upside as a stretch four, but also carries a lot of risk, as this is his first NBA start.

Muhammad scored 18 points in 14 minutes in Saturday's loss to Dallas.
He scored 11 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter when the T-Wolves fell far behind, but Muhammad has shown enough of a spark of the bench the past week that he could win more minutes with Ricky Rubio and Thaddeus Young out.
Sat Nov 8 201422:34Muhammad scored 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) in 11 minut...
Muhammad scored 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) in 11 minutes in the loss to the Heat on Saturday.
Muhammad continues to see short minutes in his second season, but he made the most of his time in Miami. He put up a shot per minute and could be a Timber Wolf reserve to keep an eye on.

Muhammad scored just one point in 12 minutes in Thursday's win over Detroit.
Muhammad didn't take any shots from the field but had two free throw attempts. He didn't back up his 13-point effort and 23 minutes in Wednesday's season opener, but his 12 minutes off the bench are encouraging with Kevin Martin returning to the lineup.

Muhammad (heel) scored 13 points with seven rebounds in 23 minutes in Wednesday's loss at Memphis.
Muhammad got more playing time than expected as it was thought he'd have a minor bench role as the regular season began. He may have got more minutes with Kevin Martin out with an ankle injury, but he showed a spark on offense that could give him a larger role off the bench. The ankle and Achilles injury that bothered him the preseason didn't look like an issue.
