| Sun Mar 22 | 19:19 | Naz Reid Back in Action Sunday |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics after missing two games with a right ankle sprain. Reid should resume his usual role as a key reserve behind Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, providing scoring and defensive stats off the bench. Over his last five games, Reid has averaged 12.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 24.7 minutes while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 90.0 percent from the line. His return likely pushes Joan Beringer out of the rotation. |

| Fri Mar 20 | 19:31 | Naz Reid Ruled Out Friday Against Portland |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, marking his second straight absence. Kyle Anderson could continue to see extra run after putting up eight points, three rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 22 minutes last game, giving him some deep-league appeal for assists from a forward spot. Rookie big Joan Beringer may also see a limited run after grabbing seven rebounds in nine minutes. Rudy Gobert should continue handling the bulk of the center workload. Reid remains roster-worthy if he can return soon. |

| Thu Mar 19 | 21:13 | Naz Reid Could Sit Again Friday |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers and could miss a second straight contest. If he sits, Kyle Anderson could see added playmaking opportunities after posting eight points, six assists, and one steal in 22 minutes last game. Terrence Shannon Jr. may also pick up extra wing minutes after an eight-point effort, while Joan Beringer could remain in the rotation following a seven-rebound showing in limited action. All three remain difficult to trust for fantasy lineups during the playoffs. |

| Wed Mar 18 | 17:56 | Naz Reid Sidelined on Wednesday |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) won't play Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Reid rarely misses time, but a right ankle sprain will keep him sidelined for this contest. The 26-year-old has missed just one other game all season. Anthony Edwards (knee) will also be out, opening up additional minutes for Bones Hyland, Kyle Anderson, and Joan Beringer. Hyland profiles as a viable short-term streaming option after posting 22 points, five assists, two rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes against Phoenix on Tuesday. |

| Tue Mar 17 | 08:49 | Naz Reid Questionable for First Game of Back-to-Back |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Phoenix Suns. Reid sustained a right shoulder contusion during Sunday's loss to Oklahoma City, leaving his status uncertain for Tuesday's game. It's the first game of a back-to-back for Minnesota, and the team will want to avoid risking a more serious injury to Reid. If he doesn't play Tuesday night, more minutes will likely go to Kyle Anderson and Joan Beringer, although neither player has much fantasy appeal. |

| Tue Feb 24 | 14:42 | Naz Reid Listed as Available to Play Tuesday |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday night's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Reid missed Minnesota's last game with a sore right shoulder but will be able to return to the rotation along with Rudy Gobert, who will be back in the lineup after sitting out one game due to a suspension for accumulated technical fouls. Joan Beringer started at center on Sunday, but with both Reid and Gobert back, the 19-year-old will return to his more limited role. |

| Tue Feb 24 | 07:09 | Naz Reid in Danger of Missing Another Contest |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's action against the Portland Trail Blazers. Reid already missed one game over the weekend due to a sore right shoulder and may remain out for another contest. Luckily for Minnesota, Rudy Gobert will be back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday's loss to Philadelphia due to a suspension. Joan Beringer started at center on Sunday, and while Gobert's return will bump him to the bench, the 19-year-old could still have a more prominent role if Reid isn't cleared for action. |

| Sun Feb 22 | 18:52 | Naz Reid Out, Joan Beringer to Start Vs. 76ers |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, marking his first absence of the season. With Rudy Gobert also sidelined due to suspension, Joan Beringer is set to start at center, creating short-term streaming appeal in deeper formats. Beringer logged four minutes with two points and two blocks in his last appearance, but an expanded run could translate to boards and defensive stats. Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards should absorb more frontcourt usage, while Ayo Dosunmu may see added offensive responsibility with the rotation thinned. |

| Tue Jan 20 | 14:02 | Naz Reid Upgraded to Available Tuesday Against Utah |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) was originally listed as questionable for Tuesday's road game against the Jazz, but he was upgraded to available on Tuesday afternoon. Reid left Saturday's game against the Spurs after just five minutes with shoulder soreness and was unable to return, but he'll keep his streak intact of playing every game this season for Minnesota by bouncing back to return on Tuesday. In his 43 games, Reid has produced 14.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 0.9 blocks in 26 minutes per contest. He has a favorable matchup against the Jazz on Tuesday night and will be the primary backup big behind Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle. |

| Mon Jan 19 | 19:21 | Naz Reid Holds Questionable Tag for Tuesday |
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (shoulder) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Reid was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's game due to a left shoulder injury. He wasn't able to return to the court and is now uncertain for Tuesday's game. Fellow big man Rudy Gobert (hip) has been removed from the injury report after sitting out of Saturday's game. He could see a few extra minutes if Reid is unable to play on Tuesday. Joan Beringer could see more minutes as well, but is an inconsistent fantasy option. |

| Sat Jan 17 | 21:34 | Naz Reid Won't Return on Saturday Night |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) won't return to Saturday's meeting with the Spurs. He got the start in place of Rudy Gobert (hip). Unfortunately, the 26-year-old would end up logging only five minutes before eventually being ruled out because of left shoulder soreness. Minnesota plays again on Tuesday in Utah, although there likely will be an update in the next day or two. As far as the remainder of Saturday's contest is concerned, 2025 No. 17 overall selection Joan Beringer should see considerably more action. |

| Fri Jun 27 2025 | 21:25 | Naz Reid Agrees to a New Contract with Minnesota |
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid agreed to a five-year, $125 million deal to remain with the team. The 25-year-old was the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2024. However, he is coming off arguably the best year of his career, finishing the 2024-25 campaign by averaging 14.2 points and 6.0 rebounds. As of now, he's projected to come off the bench for the Timberwolves, although that could change depending on what Julius Randle does this offseason. If Randle doesn't stay with the franchise, Reid may move into the starting lineup, which will improve his fantasy potential even more. |

| Fri Jun 20 2025 | 08:39 | Naz Reid and Julius Randle Expected to Return to the Timberwolves |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/centers Naz Reid and Julius Randle are both expected to be back in Minnesota next season, according to coach Chris Finch on Friday. Finch said, "Absolutely, yes," he expects both players on the roster next season, even though both have player options. Earlier reports this offseason indicate that Reid is likely to opt out of his deal, which is not a surprise since he could likely get a much bigger deal if he signs a new contract. It sounds like Finch expects him to re-sign with the Wolves, although it would be fascinating to see him in a bigger role with a new team from a fantasy perspective. If both return to Minnesota, Reid will likely serve as the team's sixth man again in 2025-26 and be the primary backup for both Randle and Rudy Gobert. |

| Tue Jun 3 2025 | 06:51 | Naz Reid Expected to Decline Player Option |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid will likely join the free agent pool this offseason. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, many around the league expect Reid to decline his $15 million player option for the 2025-26 campaign. Reid will be seeking a pay rise and possibly a more significant role going forward. Speaking during his exit interview last week, Reid said he "100 percent" sees himself as a starter in the NBA. Reid won the Sixth Man of the Year award last season and followed it up with a career year in 2024-25. He averaged 14.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 27.5 minutes. In 17 starts, Reid pushed his numbers to 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.3 blocks. Fantasy managers can expect similar numbers from him next season if Reid secures a starting role. For that to happen, he will likely need to move away from Minneapolis, as Rudy Gobert is blocking his path with the Timberwolves. |

| Wed May 7 2025 | 08:42 | Naz Reid Comes To Life Against Warriors |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid returned to his Sixth Man of the Year form in Game 1 against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, putting up 19 points on 8-for-14 shooting and collecting five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in a 99-88 loss. Reid, who was 3-for-7 from behind the arc, appeared to have injured his left leg in the second quarter but was able to finish the contest, logging 34 minutes. Minnesota saw Reid contribute only 11.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in Round 1 against the Los Angeles Lakers, but it looks like he will have a much more important role to play in the matchup against the Warriors. |

| Tue Apr 1 2025 | 17:00 | Naz Reid Suspended For One Game |
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid(suspension) was suspended for one game on Tuesday. Reid will serve a one-game suspension for his involvement in an on-court altercation with the Pistons on Sunday. Donte DiVincenzo was also involved in the scuffle and won't be able to play Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets.

| Mon Feb 3 2025 | 19:51 | Naz Reid Available Against Kings |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (finger) is good to go for Monday's action against the Sacramento Kings. The team has upgraded his status from questionable to available ahead of tip-off. Reid will make a second consecutive start, with Julius Randle (groin) remaining on the shelf. A finger sprain ruined Reid's first start of the campaign on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, limiting him to eight points and three rebounds in 20 minutes. However, his career numbers as a first-unit member are solid at 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. |

| Sun Feb 2 2025 | 20:28 | Naz Reid Questionable For Monday |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (finger) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. A finger injury limited Reid to 20 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards, and he may have to sit out Monday's contest entirely. Reid took Julius Randle's (groin) starting spot on Saturday, and Luka Garza might now be the next man up. Garza has been dominant in the G League but has made a limited impact in the NBA, averaging 5.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes. |

| Sat Feb 1 2025 | 23:13 | Naz Reid Doesn't Return On Saturday Due To Injury |
Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (finger) exited Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards. He did not return. The 25-year-old, who got the start in this one, logged 20 minutes before suffering a right finger injury in the third quarter. With Minnesota preparing for Julius Randle (groin) to miss extended time, being without Reid moving forward isn't a good situation for a club that has dealt with its share of injuries during the 2024-25 campaign. If Reid doesn't suit up for Monday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings, Luka Garza and Joe Ingles may take over things at the four spot. However, both players have a lot to prove before earning a consistent spot in fantasy lineups. |

| Thu Jan 30 2025 | 15:52 | Naz Reid On Track To Play On Thursday |
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (illness) was not able to play on Wednesday after playing in each of the Wolves' first 46 games this season, but he is not on the injury report for Thursday when the Wolves will visit the Jazz to close out their back-to-back. In 25.3 minutes off the bench, he averaged 13.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.1 three-pointers per game. Reid's return should help take the load off Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert and could push Luke Garza back out of the rotation. |
