Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Drops 21 points in defeat
Rotowire
Shannon notched 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Shannon shed a questionable tag due to a head contusion to suit up Friday, and he delivered a bounce-back performance after shooting 0-for-5 from the field in Tuesday's Game 5 loss. The second-year swingman finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer while pacing the bench in points. The 25-year-old saw increased burn in the playoffs after Donte DiVincenzo ruptured his Achilles, and with the latter likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026-27 campaign, Shannon could be in line for a more sizable role depending on what moves the Timberwolves make this summer. He averaged 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds across 12.5 minutes per game in 43 regular-season outings (two starts), though Shannon certainly flashed his potential during the postseason.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Shannon (head) is questionable for Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Friday.
Shannon is a late addition to the injury report with a head contusion. Mike Conley would appear to be the primary beneficiary from a fantasy perspective if Shannon, who's logged at least 20 minutes in five of Minnesota's last six contests, is unable to play Friday.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Another strong line in win
Rotowire
Shannon finished Monday's 104-102 victory over the Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 16 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes.
Shannon's emergence in Minnesota due to some key injuries has really helped the team remain on course. Through four postseason appearances, the guard is averaging an impressive 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on 47.7 percent shooting after averaging just 5.6 points during the regular season.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Drawing start in Game 6
Rotowire
Shannon is in the starting lineup for Game 6 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Nuggets on Thursday.
Shannon is the next man up after Ayo Dosunmu (calf) was ruled out for Thursday's matchup. Shannon and Bones Hyland should be in for a sizable uptick in minutes with Dosunmu, Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) all unavailable for Game 6.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Big effort at charity stripe
Rotowire
Shannon closed with 26 points (6-18 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 14-18 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 victory over the Pelicans.
Shannon was inefficient from the field and failed to knock down a three-pointer, but he got to the charity stripe consistently and grinded his way to a team-best 26 points. Seeing heavy minutes of late, the 25-year-old has eclipsed the 20-point mark in each of the Timberwolves' past three games. He'll close the regular season averaging 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes across 43 appearances.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Logs 25 minutes in spot start
Rotowire
Shannon accumulated eight points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Saturday's 109-87 loss to the Pistons.
Shannon moved into the starting lineup, with Minnesota going deep into its rotation due to a number of injuries to its regular core. Given that Shannon had barely been in the rotation during the two previous games, there is no reason to think this move will stick, assuming the team can start to get healthy sooner rather than later.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Moves back outside of rotation
Rotowire
Shannon (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Timberwolves' 127-117 win over the Warriors.
Shannon had appeared in each of Minnesota's previous four contests and averaged 7.8 minutes per game, but his spot in the rotation disappeared Friday while the Timberwolves welcomed Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) back from a one-game absence. Now at full health, the Timberwolves are likely to run out a nine-man rotation in most games, but Shannon appears to be the next man up to join the second unit if Minnesota is missing a player at any point.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Drops out of rotation
Rotowire
Shannon (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 117-110 win over the Grizzlies.
After rejoining the Timberwolves following the All-Star break after a prolonged absence due to a left foot strain, Shannon had cracked the rotation in three of the Timberwolves' first four games of the second half. However, after being limited to just 10 total minutes over the latter two appearances, Shannon has since failed to see any run in two straight contests. Shannon's path to earning playing time has only become more blocked moving forward after new signee Kyle Anderson (14 minutes) entered the rotation Tuesday in his team debut.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Sees 18 minutes Sunday
Rotowire
Shannon contributed six points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) over 18 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 135-108 loss to the 76ers.
Shannon had made a pair of appearances in the G League with the Iowa Wolves prior to the All-Star break, but he took the court Sunday with Minnesota for the first time since Dec. 25 following an extended absence due to a left foot abductor hallucis strain. The second-year wing had been left out of the rotation in the Timberwolves' first game out of the break Friday against the Mavericks, but Shannon was able to pick up some minutes Sunday with Rudy Gobert (suspension) and Naz Reid (foot) sitting out. Gobert will be back in action Tuesday in Portland, but it's not clear if Shannon will be able to stick in the rotation if Reid also returns for that contest.

Shannon (foot) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Shannon will be available to play in his first game since Dec. 25 after putting a left foot injury behind him.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: To be re-evaluated in two weeks
Rotowire
Shannon underwent an MRI that revealed a left foot abductor hallucis strain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
Shannon is set to miss an extended period due to a muscle strain in his foot, and he also missed nine consecutive games in November due to a bone bruise in his left foot. With the second-year swingman on the shelf once again, Jaylen Clark and Bones Hyland are candidates for a slight bump in playing time.
