Wed Mar 619:58Jordan McLaughlin Listed As Questionable For Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. McLaughlin is in danger of missing two straight games due to an illness. If he sits, Monte Morris will be asked to be the primary backup guard for Thursday's game. It would be an increased role for him but probably not enough to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats.

Thu Dec 14 202309:48Jordan McLaughlin Questionable For Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jordan McLaughlin (knee) could be out of the lineup again on Thursday, with the team listing him as questionable for an encounter with Dallas. He made his first appearance in a month on Monday versus New Orleans, but McLaughlin continues to nurse an MCL sprain in his right knee. The 27-year-old logged eight minutes against the Pelicans and has played under 30 total minutes in six appearances this season, so the Timberwolves should be perfectly fine, even if McLaughlin can't play.

Fri Dec 8 202319:51Jordan McLaughlin Back On Friday Evening
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (knee) will return for Friday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 27-year-old hasn't played in a month, missing 14 games because of an MCL sprain. There's a chance he will see fewer minutes in his first game back. However, McLaughlin hadn't played well before going down with the injury, so he wasn't expected to contribute much anyway.

Fri Dec 8 202310:28Jordan McLaughlin Has A Chance To Return On Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (knee) has been dealing with a right MCL sprain and hasn't played since November 6. He's officially listed as questionable for the team's game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, so it seems he's trending in the right direction. Right now, the Timberwolves have the best record in the league, and McLaughlin wasn't seeing too much playing time as it is. His value will likely get a boost when others need a rest or if someone in the backcourt gets injured down the road. He may take some minutes away from Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Shake Milton though.

Tue Nov 7 202316:01Jordan McLaughlin Feeling Knee Soreness
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (knee) exited early and did not return to Monday's game versus the Boston Celtics. McLaughlin is now dealing with right knee soreness that held him to just three minutes of action in the eventual 114-109 home overtime win over Boston, hitting two free throws with a block before departing. The 27-year-old hasn't been a big part of head coach Chris Finch's rotation this season, averaging a mere 3.8 minutes in five contests while effectively being superseded for backup point duties by combo guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker to this point. McLaughlin will look for his soreness to subside ahead of Wednesday's action versus the New Orleans Pelicans, but there's no apparent fantasy implications here.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) is playing Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. McLaughlin has not seen game action since December 9th after injuring his calf, but will return to the court Sunday with a minutes restriction. McLaughlin should resume his normal role as backup point guard once he is up to speed. Austin Rivers and Bryn Forbes should see a dip in minutes moving forward.

Mon Jan 23 202307:38Jordan McLaughlin Remains Unavailable
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) will sit out a 24th consecutive game on Monday versus Houston. He's trying to overcome a left calf strain and it unfortunately isn't going well, with Minnesota head coach Chris Finch recently saying that McLaughlin's return isn't coming anytime soon. The 26-year-old had a couple of encouraging outings early in the season, but the calf injury has ruined his season. In his absence, Jaylen Nowell and Austin Rivers have provided the backcourt firepower off the bench, with the former being the more attractive fantasy piece of the two.

Wed Dec 28 202220:12Jordan McLaughlin To Be Re-Evaluated In One Week
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) will be sidelined for at least the next week. The 26-year-old is dealing with a left calf strain, so he'll be shut down and re-evaluated in one week. This means that McLaughlin will miss the next five games. His absence should open up playing time for Austin Rivers and Jaylen Nowell. Both players are worth considering as streaming options in deep leagues.

Mon Dec 12 202214:55Jordan McLaughlin Doubtful For Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He suffered a left calf strain on Friday, which is the second time he has suffered that injury in two weeks. That being said, McLaughlin could very well miss some time while he gets back to 100 percent. In the meantime, Austin Rivers and Jaylen Nowell should see additional playing time. Neither of them offer enough value to warrant rostering in basically any fantasy formats.

Sat Dec 3 202219:16Jordan McLaughlin Available On Saturday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 26-year-old is back in the rotation after missing the last six games due to a left calf strain. His return will mean less playing time for Austin Rivers and Jaylen Nowell. However, neither player was much of a fantasy option outside of deep leagues. McLaughlin is expected to resume his normal role of the bench on Saturday.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Wednesday against the Pacers due to a left calf strain. The update came from head coach Chris Finch, who may now lean on Austin Rivers or Bryn Forbes to replace McLaughlin from off the bench.

Wed Mar 16 202219:51Patrick Beverley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Jordan McLaughlin Active
Minnesota Timberwolves guards Patrick Beverley (ear) and Jordan McLaughlin (groin) and forward Jarred Vanderbilt (quad) are all active for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. All three players went into the day with questionable tags due to their respective injuries. Anthony Edwards (knee) is also active for the game and he's starting alongside Beverley, Vanderbilt, D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns. Beverley has been a strong source of assists lately, averaging 6.0 assists per game in March. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt has been rebounding the ball well in March (7.2 per game) and McLaughlin has been racking up solid assists (3.7) and steals (2.7). Naz Reid (back) is out for the game so Vanderbilt may be able to pad his rebounding stats a bit.

Fri Mar 11 202218:43Jordan McLaughlin Will Miss Friday’s Contest
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jordan McLaughlin (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game vs. Orlando due to a tight right groin. McLaughlin has logged double-digit minutes totals off the bench over Minnesota's past 19 outings, with his absence likely to funnel more minutes and ball-handling duties in the direction of Patrick Beverley and D'Angelo Russell. McLaughlin's season totals have dipped to just 3.1 points and 2.9 assists per game, with his overall shooting percentage down to just 38%. While he is off the fantasy radar, McLaughlin's next chance to return to action comes Saturday against the Heat.

Fri Mar 11 202210:31Jarred Vanderbilt, Jordan McLaughlin Questionable For Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Jarred Vanderbilt (quad) and point guard Jordan McLaughlin (groin) have been deemed questionable to suit up for Friday's contest against Orlando. Vanderbilt was held out Wednesday due to a left quad contusion, which allowed Jaden McDaniels to slide into the starting five, a role he would likely retain if Vanderbilt remains sidelined. McLaughlin has served as solid backcourt depth off the bench for Minnesota, where his potential absence could funnel additional minutes to Patrick Beverley and D'Angelo Russell. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off the final word on Vanderbilt and McLaughlin's statuses.

Mon Oct 18 202113:57Jordan McLaughlin Hopeful To Play Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (groin) is hopeful to suit up for the season opener on Wednesday, according to head coach Chris Finch. Patrick Beverley is already ruled out due to a suspension. It sounds like the organization is going to wait and see how McLaughlin is feeling after another day of practice. Otherwise, D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards could see an uptick in value, assuming McLaughlin is not on the court.
