Minott ended with 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 108-80 victory over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Minott logged more than 20 minutes in an NBA game for the first time in his career, and there's no question the second-year forward made the most of his minutes. He delivered career-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while making a huge impact off the bench. That said, Minott had appeared in just eight games prior to Wednesday's win and averaged only 6.4 minutes per game, so he's not likely to hover around the 20-minute-per-game mark all of a sudden.

Minott had one point (1-2 FT), one rebound and one block in eight minutes during Monday's 114-93 victory over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Minott slid into the rotation for just the second time this season, playing eight minutes of garbage time. He is typically only ever utilized when the scoreline is one-sided. There is no indication that his role is going to change moving forward.

Minott will start in Thursday's preseason finale against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The Timberwolves are not only resting their starters, but they're also resting their regular reserves for this contest. Minott will have the chance to impress the coaching staff and will start alongside Luka Garza in the frontcourt. Rob Dillingham, Terrence Shannon and P.J. Dozier form the rest of the first unit.

Minott posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 125-123 preseason loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
One shouldn't read much into Minott's performance. The 2022 second-round pick is trapped on a crowded depth chart that won't give him many opportunities to move up. Although he shows promise and signed a new deal in the offseason, his participation will be limited.

Minott's $2.02 million contract for the 2024-25 season became fully guaranteed Friday, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
EDGE Analysis
Minott has logged just 47 appearances with Minnesota through his first two seasons in the professional ranks, but he's posted impressive numbers with the G League's Iowa Wolves and is still viewed as a promising developmental piece for the organization. Though the Timberwolves are keeping him in the fold for the 2024-25 campaign, Minott may not be assured a larger role during the upcoming season. Reserves Kyle Anderson, Monte Morris and Jordan McLaughlin are the lone Timberwolves rotation players from this past season scheduled for free agency, and Minnesota may have already found their replacements in first-round draft picks Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon.

Minott (illness) isn't listed on Minnesota's injury report for Thursday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Minott missed Monday's win over Portland due to an illness but should be available Thursday. However, his availability shouldn't impact the rotation, even with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) out.
