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.

Dillingham (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Dillingham will sit out a third consecutive game as he nurses a right ankle sprain. The rookie first-rounder hasn't been a regular part of Minnesota's rotation during his first year, playing 8.5 minutes per game over 15 appearances, so his absence is unlikely to make a significant impact in fantasy basketball. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to have clearer runways for playing time off the bench for the Wolves as long as Dillingham remains inactive.

Dillingham (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Dillingham will miss his second consecutive outing due to the right ankle sprain. The rookie has yet to carve out a consistent role in Minnesota's rotation, and his next chance to return to game action will come Thursday against Boston.

Dillingham is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a right ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Dillingham had made only four appearances in December, playing double-digit minutes once. His potential absence shouldn't have any major ramifications on Minnesota's rotation.

Dillingham amassed one assist over two minutes during Monday's 117-104 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Dillingham barely featured in the loss, taking to the court during garbage time only. The Timberwolves continue to fall short of the mark when compared to last season, with the coaching staff scrambling to find a rotation that works. To this point, Dillingham has been used sparingly on most nights, something that doesn't seem likely to change any time soon.

Dillingham (ankle) finished with six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one assist and one steal in eight minutes off the bench in Friday's 97-87 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie first-round pick had missed Minnesota's last four games with an ankle sprain. Though he took back a spot in the rotation from Josh Minott on Friday, Dillingham still carved out only a minor role, and his path to meaningful minutes will likely be blocked so long as the likes of Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo are all healthy.

Dillingham (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Dillingham is slated to make his return to action following a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The rookie has received inconsistent playing time throughout the season, and in his last five outings he has averaged 5.6 points, 1.8 assists and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 44.4 percent from the field across 12.4 minutes per contest.
