Dillingham totaled 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 138-113 victory over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

With Mike Conley (thumb) out, Dillingham received increased playing time and capitalized by posting a career-high 19 points and eight assists. Over Minnesota's last eight contests, the rookie guard has entered the team's backcourt rotation and is averaging 9.8 points, 3.0 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 15.8 minutes. Dillingham has also displayed impressive efficiency over that span, shooting 57.1 percent from the field and 57.1 on 2.6 three-point attempts per contest.

Dillingham (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham will play through an illness Wednesday and be available from Minnesota's bench against Phoenix. Across his last six appearances for the Wolves, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 8.5 points, 2.2 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 threes in 14.7 minutes.

Dillingham is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Suns due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham has been a consistent piece of Minnesota's backcourt off the bench recently, averaging 14.7 minutes across his last six appearances. However, if Dillingham is forced to sit out Wednesday, Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could receive increased playing time.

Dillingham accumulated five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 11 minutes during Monday's 100-92 victory over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham continues to battle for playing time, something he has struggled with all season. Although this was another mediocre performance, a leg injury to Nickeil Alexander-Walker could potentially give Dillingham a shot at playing as the primary backup behind Mike Conley. Should he get an opportunity to play upwards of 20 minutes, it will be interesting to see what he can do when on the floor.

Dillingham totaled 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes during Monday's 108-106 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Donte DiVincenzo was recently diagnosed with a Grade 3 left great toe sprain and is out indefinitely. That's resulted in Dillingham appearing in Minnesota's past three games, averaging 12.0 points on 62.5 percent shooting, 2.3 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 16.0 minutes. Considering the Timberwolves don't have many other options at point guard, especially with Mike Conley playing poorly, the rookie should continue seeing an expanded role. Fantasy managers in deep leagues could contemplate a speculative add, while managers in standard formats should at least watchlist Dillingham.

The Timberwolves recalled Dillingham from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham hasn't played in the NBA since Dec. 23 due to a right ankle sprain but returned to action in the G League on Monday. The rookie guard will likely compete for depth minutes in Minnesota's backcourt, as he is averaging 4.1 points and 1.8 assists in 10.1 minutes across his previous 10 NBA appearances.

Dillingham (ankle) posted 22 points (9-23 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in 25 minutes during the Iowa Wolves' 128-114 G League loss to the Rip City Remix on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham was assigned to the G League on Sunday as the final stage of his rehab following a Grade 2 right ankle sprain, which had sidelined the rookie guard since Dec. 23. While his counting stats were strong against Rip City, Dillingham struggled from deep and committed six turnovers. However, he was Iowa's only starter with a positive point differential. It's unclear what his next step will be, but given the Timberwolves recently benched veteran point guard Mike Conley in favor of Donte DiVincenzo, Dillingham may have a chance to carve out a consistent NBA role moving forward if he can prove he's back to 100 percent.

The Timberwolves assigned Dillingham (ankle) to the G League's Iowa Wolves, and he has been cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham hasn't appeared in a matchup for Minnesota since Dec. 23, though he is nearing a return to game action after having been cleared for full-contact, on-court work. The rookie will likely require a sizable ramp-up period before returning to action in the NBA, and he is not guaranteed significant playing time when he returns.

Dillingham (ankle) will miss one-to-two weeks with an ankle sprain.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the last three games for the Timberwolves with an ankle sprain, Dillingham underwent an MRI, and it was confirmed that he had a Grade 2 right lateral ankle sprain. If Dillingham's absence, Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely continue to get some more playing time off the bench for Minnesota.

Dillingham (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham will miss his fourth consecutive outing Saturday due to a right ankle sprain, and there is no clear timetable for his return. The rookie's next chance to feature will come Monday against the Clippers, though he hasn't been a regular part of the Timberwolves' rotation when healthy.
