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 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 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 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.
