Okogie (hamstring) is available Sunday against the Spurs but will have a minutes restriction, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Okogie missed six straight games with a hamstring injury, but he was cleared to practice recently and will return to game action Sunday. He'll come off the bench and have a limit on his playing time during his first game back on the court, but it's not yet clear how much he'll be restricted.

The Timberwolves list Okogie (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
After missing six consecutive games, Okogie appears close to a return after he was cleared to resume practicing days earlier. That said, the Timberwolves are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Sunday, so the team may want the opportunity to evaluate Okogie in more practice before inserting him back into the rotation. An official call on his status should arrive during warmups prior to Sunday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff.

Okogie (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Portland.
EDGE Analysis
After going through shootaround prior to Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, it looked like Okogie could possibly return for Thursday's matchup with Portland. That is not the case, as Okogie will miss his fourth consecutive game with a strained left hamstring. Depending on how the next few days go, his next chance to return will be for Saturday's contest against the Spurs.

Okogie (hamstring) is considered questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Nuggets.

Okogie (hamstring) was able to put in a workout with assistant coach Kevin Burleson prior to Sunday's 124-109 loss to the Nuggets, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "Seeing him working out is a good step toward recovery," head coach Ryan Saunders said of Okogie. "So, we'll still need to cross certain thresholds, but it's a good step for him."
EDGE Analysis
Okogie hasn't played since Dec. 29 due to the strained left hamstring, missing three consecutive games as a result. The wing's return to the court in some capacity is an encouraging sign, and if his calf responded well to the workout, he could be cleared to take part in the Timberwolves' practice Monday. For now, consider Okogie doubtful for the team's next game Tuesday in Denver, though a return later in the week could be more realistic.

Okogie (hamstring) is without a timetable to return from his strained left hamstring, per coach Ryan Saunders, Dane Moore of BlueWire reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday will mark Okogie's third straight absence, and it sounds as though he'll likely miss a few more games. Saunders said Okogie was able to go through "cutting and moving" during pregame Sunday, but he still needs to "cross certain thresholds" before returning to game action.
