Fri Mar 2220:00Naz Reid Good To Go Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (head) is available for Friday's contest with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is also good to go. With the two big men available, Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels could see their minutes reduced in the rotation. Having Reid and Gobert suit up provides Minnesota with some balance up front with Karl Anthony Towns long-term absence (knee).

Thu Mar 2119:28Naz Reid Listed As Questionable For Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (head) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man is in danger of missing another game after suffering a head injury during Monday's game. The Wolves could be thin at the center spot with Rudy Gobert (rib) also listed as questionable for Thursday. The good news is that both players were able to participate during Thursday's shootaround. If they sit, Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels would be asked to play bigger minutes in the rotation. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update.

Tue Mar 1918:58Naz Reid Won't Play On Tuesday
According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (head) won't play on Tuesday versus Denver. Reid was initially listed as questionable for the game after he injured his head in Monday's matchup against Utah. He comes out of the lineup for the first time this season. Reid's absence is a fresh blow for Minnesota's injury-hit frontcourt, although Rudy Gobert (ribs) could still be available on Tuesday.

Tue Mar 1915:49Naz Reid Officially Questionable
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (head) is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. After leaving Monday's victory over the Utah Jazz with a head injury, Reid's status remains unclear on the second night of Minnesota's back-to-back. Since Rudy Gobert (ribs) is also uncertain to play, the T-Wolves may have no choice but to use forwards Jaden McDaniels and Kyle Anderson as their primary centers in a daunting task against superstar Nikola Jokic and company. Former Iowa standout Luka Garza could be the last traditional big man standing, but he hasn't started a game since the 2021-22 campaign with the Detroit Pistons. It's still worth mentioning that in five career games as a starter, Garza is generating 11.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.0 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes per contest.

Tue Mar 1909:10Naz Reid Uncertain For Tuesday Following Monday's Exit
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid exited Monday's contest against Utah with a head injury, leaving his status for Tuesday's matchup versus Denver up in the air. Reid was hurt near the end of the first half when he took a hit to the back of the head from John Collins. It was a big first half for Reid, as he collected 17 points, four rebounds, and one block in 17 minutes. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Rudy Gobert (ribs) already on the shelf, the Timberwolves went small in the second half and started Nickeil Alexander-Walker in Reid's place. Alexander-Walker produced a nice all-around line in the game and could have a significant part to play again on Tuesday. Luka Garza was limited to 11 minutes on Monday but could have a much bigger role to play on Tuesday, with Minnesota needing to slow down ... [More]

Fri Jan 1911:19Naz Reid Has Quality Outing
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid made easy work of the Memphis Grizzlies defense during Thursday's game. The big man looked consistent all night long as he shot 8-of-13 from the floor for 20 points. Reid also added three rebounds, one assist, and two steals in the win over Memphis. This 20-point outing was his highest scoring outing since December 30 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite coming off the bench, Reid has done enough to warrant being rostered in most fantasy formats right now.

Sun Nov 12 202319:21Naz Reid Upgraded To Available On Sunday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (neck) was originally listed as questionable for the team's matchup against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday but he was officially upgraded to available and he will play. The 24-year-old has been a big part of the team's success as the primary backup big man. He's seeing the most minutes per contest of his career so far this season and has turned that into a career-high mark in points, but outside of that he's only contributed a bit on the boards. He's more fantasy-relevant in deeper leagues, but he'll serve as a great streaming option whenever Karl-Anthony Towns or Rudy Gobert miss any time.

Thu Oct 5 202319:21Naz Reid Has Impressive Showing On Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid had a productive showing in Thursday's preseason victory over the Mavericks. The 24-year-old, who underwent wrist surgery in March, showed no signs of residual rust, scoring 16 points off 6-for-14 shooting from the field while adding seven boards. It's obvious the Timberwolves have big plans for Reid, considering the team re-signed him to a three-year, $42 million contract during the offseason. While Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert will start this season, assuming they stay healthy, Reid should see enough minutes to remain a double-double threat whenever he's on the floor.

Wed Aug 16 202310:05Naz Reid Confident Of Thriving Under Bigger Expectations
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid is eager to prove that he is well worthy of his three-year, $42 million extension. "Bigger role, bigger expectations," Reid told The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski. "So I'm definitely going to show I've improved, in every facet of the game, maturity, basketball or whatever the case may be. Higher pay comes higher responsibility. This is what comes with it. So I'm ready for it." The 23-year-old averaged only 18.4 minutes and started just 11 games for Minnesota last term, but he was still able to post career-high marks with 11.5 points and 4.9 rebounds. He sounds ready to do a lot more for the team, although Reid's situation in Minneapolis is a bit complicated due to the presence of frontcourt stars Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Sun Jun 25 202322:22Naz Reid Signs Three-Year Extension With Minnesota
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid will remain with the team for at least two more seasons, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. He and the team agreed to an extension with a player option in the third year worth $42 million. The 23-year-old put in one of his best seasons yet and was expected to have a hot free-agent market. Last year, Reid averaged 11.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists while shooting 53.7% from the floor. He'll still be the third big man in the rotation, however, unless they move either Karl-Anthony Towns or Rudy Gobert.

Thu Jun 1 202311:28Naz Reid Linked With Move To Lakers
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid is attracting interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, sources have told Peter Dewey of the Lakers Daily. Reid is set to be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason after spending four years with the Timberwolves. The 23-year-old averaged career-highs of 11.5 points and 4.5 rebounds this season in just 18.4 minutes of action. Reid has proven himself as a very productive performer, but he's been stuck behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert in Minneapolis, and it might not be easy for the Timberwolves to lure him back. However, the Lakers definitely won't be the only team interested in Reid's services if he moves on.

Thu Apr 27 202318:29Naz Reid Likely To Receive Extension
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid has exceeded expectations this season and earned himself a nice contract extension in the future. Team president Tim Connelly recently said he wants Reid here for a long time. Head coach Chris Finch said extending Reid is a high priority for them. Reid averaged career-highs in points (11.5) and rebounds (4.9), while averaging 1.1 assists in 68 games this past season. The 23-year-old is set to become a free agent this summer. Although, it sounds like the Wolves want to keep Reid around long term.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) received some unfortunate news as tests found that he fractured his wrist and he will now miss a "significant" amount of time, as reported by The Athletic's Shams Charania. Reid filled in admirably during the lengthy absence of Karl-Anthony Towns, and he was in the midst of the best season of his career so far.

Thu Mar 23 202310:17Naz Reid Leads Timberwolves In Scoring Off Of The Bench
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid caught fire on Wednesday night and never looked back as he helped the team grab a one-point victory over the Atlanta Hawks. The 23-year-old played almost 26 minutes off of the bench despite Karl-Anthony Towns returning and he posted 26 points, eight rebounds, and two steals while shooting 11-for-15 overall and 2-for-4 from deep. His fantasy value will likely take a hit now that Towns is back, but with Anthony Edwards (ankle) out, he could still see some more opportunities as they seem committed to their big lineups.

Sun Mar 19 202322:52Naz Reid Is Questionable On Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (calf) is questionable for Monday's game versus the New York Knicks due to left calf soreness. The 23-year-old could be in line for bigger minutes if he does play and Rudy Gobert (ankle) has to sit on the sidelines. The issue is that he's also uncertain to play which would leave Kyle Anderson, Jaden McDaniels, and Luka Garza to pick up the pieces of the frontcourt.

Sat Mar 18 202313:58Naz Reid Uncertain For Saturday's Game In Toronto
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (calf) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup in Toronto. Rudy Gobert (ankle) carries the same tag, so Reid could find himself in the starting lineup versus the Raptors. If that's the case, he'll be a popular target for DFS managers while earning a must-start designation in all fantasy setups. However, if Gobert and Reid are out, Nathan Knight may see more minutes than usual, although he's a risky fantasy option, no matter his role.

Wed Mar 15 202314:29Naz Reid Could Miss Another Game Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (calf) could be out for a second consecutive game, with the team regarding him as questionable for Wednesday's clash with Boston. He was a late scratch for Monday's meeting with Atlanta due to a sore left calf. Reid has drawn a lot of attention when Rudy Gobert has been forced to sit out games, but he's also done well lately with the French giant still in the lineup. Across his last seven appearances, Reid has averaged 13.9 points with 6.3 rebounds. Luka Garza produced 14 points and three boards in 18 minutes as Gobert's backup Monday.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20 

LeBron James' Season Recap

Despite James' advanced NBA age, he's still productive. In 47 appearances, he's averaged 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. While his three-point percentage has regressed, that's never been his strong suit.James was also named an All-Star captain while recently passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader.https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1623184801284104192?s=20That said, despite some high-level accomplishments, the year has been a rough one for the 2003 No. 1 overall pick. He's battled left foot soreness for nearly the entire season, so much so that he routinely carried some type of injury designation heading into almost all of his games over the last few months....

Mon Feb 27 202307:51Naz Reid Scores Career-High 30 Points In Start
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid once again had an opportunity to start Sunday versus the Warriors, and he crushed it in the matchup with a career-high 30 points on 12-for-22 shooting. Half of his attempts came from three-point land and Reid made four of them. He also had the best game of his career in the steals department with five and completed his line with nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks. It's the same old story with Reid. He's a superb option for fantasy managers as a starter, but Reid sadly doesn't get many of them in Minnesota. On Sunday, the 23-year-old rolled with the starters for only the 11th time this season after Rudy Gobert (illness) was a late addition to the injury report and ended up not playing. Reid averages 26.1 minutes as a starter and has put up 16.5 points with 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.4 steals.
