Jaden McDaniels

Jaden McDaniels has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Fantasy Impact

McDaniels is one of many players sitting with the Timberwolves having locked up the No. 6 seed in the West. Terrence Shannon Jr, Zyon Pullin and Julian Phillips should all be in line for more run.

McDaniels returned from a six-game knee absence Wednesday and logged 19 minutes — 18 points (8-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one three-pointer in the loss to the Magic. Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle were both sidelined.

Fantasy Impact

With Minnesota already locked into the sixth seed in the West, the priority for the final two regular-season games is health over wins — fantasy managers should monitor his status carefully as the team manages minutes heading into the playoffs.

Fantasy Impact

McDaniels last played back on March 25, as he's missed the Timberwolves' last six games. The 25-year-old forward was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game, but he has been cleared to give it a go. McDaniels could see his minutes limited a bit, of course.
