Beringer produced four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds, one block and one steal over eight minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The 2025 17th overall pick spent the postseason as a deep reserve behind Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid, but Beringer's regular-season finale provided a massive glimpse into his future potential. Filling in for a resting Gobert on April 12, Beringer exploded for 24 points, 13 rebounds and a staggering seven blocks in 31 minutes against New Orleans. While he averaged just 3.9 points across 40 regular-season appearances as a rookie, his combination of interior scoring and elite rim protection suggests he is ready for a consistent rotation role. With rumors swirling that the Timberwolves may look to move Gobert's $36.5 million salary this offseason to reshape the roster around Anthony Edwards, Beringer would be the primary beneficiary of such a trade. If Gobert is moved, Beringer would likely compete for significant minutes, offering a much higher offensive ceiling than the incumbent starter.

Joan Beringer: Breaking News
Not in starting lineup
Beringer is not in Minnesota's starting lineup against Denver in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs Saturday. Beringer started in the final two games of the regular season, and in this past Sunday's 132-126 win over the Pelicans, he finished with 24 points, 13 rebounds, two assists and a whopping seven blocks over 31 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role for Game 1 and provide depth at center behind Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid.
Double-double with seven blocks
Beringer produced 24 points (9-12 FG, 6-9 FT), 13 rebounds, seven blocks and two assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 win over New Orleans. With Rudy Gobert (rest) and Naz Reid (shoulder) inactive, Beringer turned in the most impressive performance of his young career, recording his first double-double of the season while adding a staggering seven blocks. The rookie didn't see consistent playing time throughout the year, averaging 7.9 minutes across 40 regular-season appearances, though he did display flashes of potential when called upon. Heading into the postseason, Beringer isn't likely to see much action with Gobert and Reid back in the lineup.
