Reid accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-114 loss to the Mavericks. The 25-year-old big came up just short of his second double-double in four games to begin the season while recording his first block of 2024-25. Reid hasn't seen a big jump in his workload with Julius Randle replacing Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota's starting lineup, but Reid's been busier on the glass, averaging 7.5 rebounds through four games after setting a career high last season with 5.2 boards a contest.

Reid accumulated 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-114 loss to the Mavericks. The 25-year-old big came up just short of his second double-double in four games to begin the season while recording his first block of 2024-25. Reid hasn't seen a big jump in his workload with Julius Randle replacing Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota's starting lineup, but Reid's been busier on the glass, averaging 7.5 rebounds through four games after setting a career high last season with 5.2 boards a contest.
Reid accumulated 19 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Thursday's 117-115 win over the Kings. Reid is expected to relieve Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, but he actually shared the floor with both big men briefly in the fourth quarter. The odd combo of Mike Conley, Donte DiVincenzo, Reid, Randle and Gobert isn't expected to happen often, but the quintet provided a much-needed boost that helped Minnesota regain the lead. Reid's role as a backup is assured, but we may see more of of the oversized grouping moving forward.
Reid (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Lakers. Reid missed the final two preseason games for Minnesota due to shoulder inflammation, though he is expected to be fully ready for Opening Night. The big man will likely receive his normal share of playing time off the bench behind Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle in the frontcourt.
Reid (shoulder) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Nuggets. Reid will miss his team's preseason finale due to a shoulder impingement. His availability for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Lakers is in jeopardy at this point.
Reid will not play in Wednesday's preseason contest versus Chicago due to a shoulder impingement, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Reid's next opportunity to suit up comes in short order, as Minnesota closes a preseason back-to-back versus Denver on Thursday. Coach Chris Finch noted that Reid's absence Wednesday is a product of "the team being cautious," while the injury is regarded as "nothing serious."
Reid finished with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocks across 23 minutes in Friday's 121-111 preseason win over the 76ers. Reid got the start at center since Rudy Gobert (undisclosed) didn't feature, and he made the most of the opportunity while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Gobert is penciled in as the starting center, but Reid should see plenty of minutes off the bench, which should make him valuable across the majority of fantasy formats. After all, he won the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2023-24, where yhe 24-year-old averaged 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals across 24.2 minutes across 81 regular-season games.
Reid will start at power forward in Friday's exhibition matchup with the Lakers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports. With Julius Randle (shoulder) sidelined, Reid will get the start alongside Rudy Gobert in the frontcourt. When healthy, Randle is expected to start in the regular season, with Reid playing a similar role to what he saw in the 2023-24 campaign.
Reid will continue coming off the bench this season while new acquisition Julius Randle (shoulder) will enter the starting lineup when healthy, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports. Reid thrived off the bench en route to claiming Sixth Man of the Year honors last season, and Minnesota will opt to keep him in the same role for 2024-25. The 25-year-old was productive as a starter as well, averaging 17.6 points and 7.0 rebounds while shooting 46.0 percent from the field across 14 cameos with the first unit. Since it's unclear if Randle will be fully healthy for Opening Night as he continues ramping up from a right shoulder dislocation suffered in January, Reid likely profiles for an enlarged role regardless of Minnesota's frontcourt shuffle.
Reid averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 blocks and 0.5 steals across 22.6 minutes in 16 playoff appearances. The Sixth Man of the Year award winner did not fully live up to his regular-season standards in the playoffs. However, he did have a few great games against Denver and Dallas in the postseason as the Timberwolves put together an impressive run. The 24-year-old averaged 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals across 24.2 minutes while appearing in 81 regular-season games. Reid will likely be a key part of the rotation next season as the Timberwolves aim for another strong playoff push in a stacked Western Conference.
