Dillingham (ankle) has been ruled out for Game 2 against the Lakers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham continues to deal with a right ankle sprain suffered sometime prior to Saturday's Game 1. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Friday in Game 3.

Dillingham (ankle) is out for Game 1 against the Lakers on Saturday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham was a late addition to the injury report for this game due to a right ankle sprain, and the rookie won't be available for this matchup as a result. That said, he's not expected to play a significant role in the rotation even if available. His next chance to play will come in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Dillingham is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 1 against the Lakers due to a right ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham is in danger of missing Minnesota's playoff opener due to a right ankle sprain. However, the rookie guard is unlikely to significantly factor into the team's postseason rotation, even if he's available.

Dillingham logged no counting stats across two minutes during Thursday's 105-90 victory over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham continues to be used sparingly by the Timberwolves, having now played single-digit minutes in 16 straight games. As a rookie on a contending team, Dillingham's path to playing time was always going to be a rocky one. In 47 games played, he is averaging 4.7 points and 2.1 assists in 10.9 minutes per game.

Dillingham totaled 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes in Monday's 131-128 overtime win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham hasn't been an offensive focal point for the Timberwolves in his rookie season but was notably productive in Monday's win. The 20-year-old has eclipsed double-digit points eight times and has surpassed 20 minutes a total of seven times this season. The 2024 first-round pick figures to continue in a reserve role for the rest of this season but should remain in high regard moving forward, given his upside and draft pedigree.

Dillingham contributed 13 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes in Monday's 128-107 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham provided a nice lift off the Timberwolves bench with Minnesota somewhat shorthanded in the absence of Mike Conley (finger), leading all second-unit players in scoring, assists and minutes played in a losing effort. Dillingham has crossed the double-digit scoring mark in seven outings, though Monday marked the first time he's done so in February.

Dillingham is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham got the start Saturday against the Trail Blazers and finished with eight points and six assists across 24 minutes while shooting 4-for-12 from the field. The rookie has played double-digit minutes in each of his last nine outings regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, however, so he should continue to see a decent workload in a depleted Timberwolves backcourt that's missing Mike Conley (finger) and Donte DiVincenzo (toe).

Dillingham produced eight points (4-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 114-98 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham struggled from three-point range during his first career start, though he did tie the team-high mark in assists. The rookie has received fairly significant playing time in 13 outings since returning from a multi-week absence due to a right ankle sprain. In that 13-game span, Dillingham has averaged 8.2 points and 3.4 assists across 16.2 minutes per contest. The 20-year-old will likely continue to stick around in Minnesota's rotation until Donte DiVincenzo (toe) returns.

Dillingham will be in the starting lineup Saturday against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham will be a starter for Minnesota for the first time this season with the team shorthanded in the backcourt. Mike Conley (finger) and Anthony Edwards (hip) have been ruled out for this game against Portland, meaning the rookie guard will have an increased workload in the backcourt along with Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who will also be in the starting lineup Saturday.
