Jaden McDaniels: Breaking News

Nets 14 points in crucial win

McDaniels notched 14 points (6-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds in 41 minutes during Sunday's 114-109 victory over the Spurs in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals. McDaniels' production has suffered since Anthony Edwards' return to action, and a below-average shooting night kept him in check during Game 4. Despite the downtick, McDaniels has demonstrated a solid floor throughout the postseason, averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists over 10 playoff contests.

Needs 22 shots to score 17 points

McDaniels contributed 17 points (5-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to San Antonio in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals. McDaniels couldn't get his shot to drop, opening the game with five straight bricks, and he was just missing a lot of shots he traditionally makes. Ayo Dosunmu also had a tough offensive outing, finishing with 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and four turnovers in 32 minutes off the bench.

Strong postseason continues

McDaniels recorded 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 104-102 win over San Antonio in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals. McDaniels continues to deliver offensively for the Timberwolves this postseason, putting up at least 12 points in seven games thus far on top of his excellent defense. Overall, the forward has averaged 17.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 36.0 minutes per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor during the 2026 playoffs.
