Rivers will start Sunday's game against the Warriors in the absence of Jaden McDaniels (illness).
EDGE Analysis
McDaniels was a late addition to the injury report Sunday due to an illness, so Rivers will enter the starting lineup for the first time this season. Rivers has played double-digit minutes four times this season, posting 4.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.8 minutes during those contests.

Rivers won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Suns due to an illness, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers received a season-high 16 minutes in Monday's loss to the Knicks. However, with him out Wednesday, Jordan McLaughlin, Jaylen Nowell and possibly Bryn Forbes should see extended backcourt minutes off the bench. Rivers' next opportunity to play will be Friday versus the Grizzlies.

Rivers posted no counting stats in zero minutes during Saturday's 129-117 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers barely made it onto the floor in the win, registering minutes for just the fifth time this season. The Timberwolves simply don't need him out there on most nights, highlighted by the fact that is yet to score a single point all season. Barring injuries to a number of other players, Rivers is clearly an afterthought when it comes to fantasy.

Rivers (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers is headed towards a third straight absence due to right hip soreness. He only saw nine minutes across his first two appearances of the season, so his lack of availability hasn't had a major impact on Minnesota's rotation.

Rivers will miss Monday's contest against the Spurs due to right hip soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Rivers popped up on the injury report with hip soreness Monday after receiving a DNP-CD in Sunday's tilt with the Thunder. Rivers does not seem to hold a significant role with Minnesota, recording nine minutes across the first two games of the season, but his absence may open up more opportunities for Jaylen Nowell, who has been impressive thus far.
