Garza tallied four points (2-2 FG) and recorded a foul in three minutes of court time in Thursday's 104-89 win over the Magic. The appearance was Garza's first since Dec. 19. The fourth-year center had missed some time over the past three weeks due to a left ankle sprain, but he was cleared to return to action Monday and had been held out of the last two games in coach's decisions before taking the court in garbage time Thursday. Garza is likely to find himself outside of the rotation throughout the season unless the Timberwolves are without at least one of Rudy Gobert or Naz Reid in a given game.

Plays tail end of blowout win
Garza tallied four points (2-2 FG) and recorded a foul in three minutes of court time in Thursday's 104-89 win over the Magic. The appearance was Garza's first since Dec. 19. The fourth-year center had missed some time over the past three weeks due to a left ankle sprain, but he was cleared to return to action Monday and had been held out of the last two games in coach's decisions before taking the court in garbage time Thursday. Garza is likely to find himself outside of the rotation throughout the season unless the Timberwolves are without at least one of Rudy Gobert or Naz Reid in a given game.
Available to play Monday
Garza (ankle) is listed as available for Monday's game against the Clippers. Garza will return to action following an eight-game absence due to a left-ankle sprain. However, the big man's availability shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation, as he has averaged only 5.1 minutes per contest over nine regular-season appearances.
Iffy for Monday
Garza (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers. Garza is in jeopardy of missing his ninth consecutive contest due to a left-ankle sprain. However, the big man's potential absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation, as he has averaged 5.1 minutes per game over nine regular-season appearances.
Remaining sidelined Saturday
Garza (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pistons. Garza will remain in street clothes for an eighth straight game due to a sprained left ankle. His next chance to play will come Monday against the Clippers. Garza's absence against Detroit should have a minimal impact on Minnesota's rotation.
Still sidelined
Garza (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston. Garza is idle for a seventh straight game due to a sprained left ankle. His next chance to play will come Saturday at Detroit.
Remains out Monday
Garza (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder. Garza won't play on Monday as he continues to nurse an ankle sprain, keeping him out for six straight games. He has played only nine games this season, averaging 3.9 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.
Still out Sunday
Garza (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Spurs. Garza will miss his fifth straight contest Sunday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with the Thunder.
Another absence coming
Garza (ankle) is out for Friday's game versus the Rockets. Garza's absence streak will extend to four games Friday due to a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with San Antonio.
Still out
Garza (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Mavericks. Garza will miss a third straight game due to a left ankle sprain. As a fringe rotation piece, Garza's absence shouldn't have much fantasy impact. His next chance to play will come Friday at Houston.
