Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Plays in garbage time Friday
Rotowire
Shannon (groin) played the final 3:22 of Friday's 117-91 win over the Nets, finishing with one rebound and one foul during his time on the court.
Shannon saw his first game action since March 24 after he recently missed time due to a right groin strain, though he had been available off the bench in both of the last two contests. With the Timberwolves building a big lead by the fourth quarter, Shannon got the opportunity to see the floor in garbage time. Shannon could be in store for a slightly larger role in Sunday's season finale against the Jazz, as the Timberwolves could need him to play some minutes on the wing while Anthony Edwards serves an automatic one-game suspension stemming from him picking up his 18th technical foul of the season Friday.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Lands on injury report Friday
Rotowire
Shannon is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns due to right groin soreness.
The groin soreness is a new concern for Shannon, who was a late addition to the club's injury report. The rookie first-round pick has received inconsistent playing time over his last 10 outings, averaging 1.6 points across only 8.1 minutes per contest. With no other injuries to report for the Timberwolves, Shannon isn't likely to play a significant role if he's cleared to suit up Friday.
Shannon is in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Jazz on Friday.
Shannon has played at least 19 minutes off the bench in each of his last six games, and he's coming off a career-high 25-point performance against the Lakers on Thursday. Over that six-game span, the rookie first-round pick has averaged 13.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 24.2 minutes per contest while shooting 53.6 percent from the field. Shannon will make his first-career NBA start Friday -- in part due to the absence of Anthony Edwards (suspension) -- while Jaylen Clark retreats to the bench.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: First career double-double Monday
Rotowire
Shannon accumulated 17 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 131-128 overtime victory over the Thunder.
The 27th overall pick in the 2024 Draft recorded his first career double-double and set a new career scoring high as he continues to take advantage of injuries in Minnesota's frontcourt. Over the last five games, Shannon is averaging 10.8 points, 5.0 boards, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks in 23.2 minutes a contest, but he'll return to the end of the bench once Julius Randle (groin) and Rudy Gobert (back) are cleared to return to the lineup.
Shannon notched seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists in 19 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 loss to the Thunder.
Jaylen Clark suffered a neck injury during Sunday's game and was unable to return as the injury report continues to grow in Minnesota. Shannon has seen a decent-sized role over his last four games, averaging 9.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 three-pointers in 21.8 minutes per contest.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Drafted by Minnesota at No. 27
Rotowire
Shannon was selected by the Timberwolves with the 27th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.
As a five-year college player at Illinois, Shannon comes into the league at nearly 24 years old. However, he carries with him notable accolades from last season, including first-team All-Big Ten and third-team All-American. The 6-foot-6 wing is a strong defender and a crafty scorer who can fill it up in a variety of ways, though he especially thrives in transition. As a rookie, Shannon will fight for reserve minutes with players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kyle Anderson and fellow rookie Rob Dillingham.
