Okogie will come off the bench Friday against the Warriors, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie tallied seven points, four rebounds and two assists in a spot start Tuesday versus the Grizzlies, but coach Ryan Saunders prefers to have him come off the bench. Okogie's stat line shouldn't be affected much, given that his starting job Tuesday didn't come with a larger workload.

Okogie had seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3PT), four rebounds and two assists during Minnesota's 137-121 loss at Memphis on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie got a rare start and while he wasn't heavily involved on offense, he made the most of it by missing just one shot and grabbing four rebounds. His role for Friday's matchup against the Warriors will depend on the availability of Jeff Teague (illness) and Shabazz Napier (hamstring), but he shouldn't be anything more than a bench player in the long-term picture.

Okogie is starting at shooting guard Wednesday agains the Grizzlies, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jeff Teague (illness) and Shabazz Napier (hamstring) both unavailable Wednesday, the Timberwolves will go with Okogie and Jarrett Culver in their backcourt, while Andrew Wiggins starts at small forward over Treveon Graham. Through six games this season, Okogie is averaging 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.7 assists in 22.0 minutes.

Okogie (1-6 FG, 0-2 FT, 1-3 3Pt) scored three points with seven rebounds in 22 minutes in Monday's loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie struggled with his shot in Monday's loss but still contributed on defense where he was even in plus-minus despite Minnesota's blowout loss. Okogie saw only a slight increase in minutes with Karl-Anthony Towns suspended the past two games, which shows he's not going to take on a larger share on offense in the near term.

The Timberwolves exercised the third-year option on Okogie's rookie contract, Kyle Ratke of the Timberwolves' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie has been a steady contributor off the bench for the Timberwolves this season, appearing in all four games and posting averages of 9.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals across 20.3 minutes per tilt.

okogie allied 14 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 121-99 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie played 26 minutes Friday, likely as a result of the blowout victory. There had been speculation he would run with the starters to begin the season but that appears incorrect at this stage. Okogie's value typically comes from steals, however, if he can add consistent production in other areas, he could be someone to consider bringing on board in a standard format.

Okogie scored 11 points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT) with three assists, three rebounds and a steal in 14 minutes in Wednesday's win at Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

While Okogie came off the bench and didn't get significant minutes, he was on the floor defending a red-hot Kyrie Irving (50 points) on the final possession in overtime (where Irving missed a shot). His defensive effort late in the game could bode well for him getting a larger role off the bench, and he could still factor in as a starter at small forward, where playing time may be fluid.

Okogie's (lower leg) status for Monday's Las Vegas Summer League title game is unclear, Darren Wolfson of Skor North reports.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie departed Saturday's game with a bruise on his left shin, and while he's considered "fine" by team officials, the Wolves may still opt to sit him out in what's ultimately a meaningless contest.

Okogie won't return to Saturday's summer league game due to a left lower leg contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie sustained the injury at some point during the first half and the severity of the issue remains unclear. Jared Terrell started the second half in his absence for the Timberwolves.

Okogie finished with 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes during the Timberwolves' 90-87 win over the Heat in a Las Vegas Summer League game Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Okogie is now averaging 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 block across 22.3 minutes over four summer league games. However, his shot has been a disappointment overall, as the second-year guard has drained just 31.0 percent of his attempts in the desert. The 2018 first-round pick has a considerable NBA experience advantage on many of the players he's facing after logging 74 games in his rookie campaign, but the same issues that led to a 38.6 percent success rate from the floor last season seem to still be present thus far.
