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.

Minnesota recalled Minott from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Minott (illness) is questionable to face Portland on Monday.

EDGE Analysis
