Bones Hyland Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Bones Hyland (knee) exited Friday against Golden State in the first quarter and is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Sacramento after logging three points and two assists in five minutes. Hyland has been a low-minute specialist, averaging 4.2 points in 7.9 minutes over his last five, but his absence can still loosen the bench-guard rotation. Terrence Shannon Jr. has the best path to extra volume, Jaylen Clark can supply steals, and Rob Dillingham is a deep-league assists swing if his run climbs.

Guard Bones Hyland has officially rejoined the Minnesota Timberwolves. In 2024-25, he spent the last couple of months of the season with the Timberwolves on a two-way contract, and Hyland was expected to return to the team for the new campaign. He'll hope to see more action than last season, as Hyland only played four times for the Timberwolves, averaging 4.3 minutes on the floor. He started the year with the Los Angeles Clippers, posting 7.2 points per game in 11.1 minutes. Unless the backcourt gets hit by injuries, it's hard to see Hyland getting regular minutes in Minnesota.

Guard Bones Hyland could be back on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster in 2025-26. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Timberwolves are interested in a reunion with Hyland, who played four games with the team last season. Early in his career, Hyland made an impact as a microwave scorer off the bench, but he has struggled to maintain a regular rotation spot in recent seasons. During the 2024-25 campaign, Hyland made only 24 total appearances with the Timberwolves and Los Angeles Clippers, posting 6.2 points in 10.0 minutes per game. It's a compliment to Hyland that he still has interest from the NBA, but his role probably won't change if he returns to Minnesota.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland will get the chance to test out free agency after this season. According to NBA Insider Chris Haynes, Hyland and the Clippers were not able to reach terms on a rookie contract extension, so he'll become an unrestricted free agent at year's end. The 24-year-old took a step back last season in terms of playing time after appearing in the fewest games in his first three seasons. In 37 appearances, Hyland averaged 6.9 points, 2.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.2 turnovers across 14.6 minutes per contest.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland missed Tuesday's preseason clash against Brooklyn with left hip soreness. Hyland could really use a good preseason to boost his stock in Los Angeles, and the hip problem is definitely a setback for him. The 24-year-old did well in the Clippers' preseason opener against Golden State at the weekend, tallying seven points and four rebounds in 13 minutes. Hyland's next chance to play comes on Friday against Portland.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Dallas. He's had trouble with his right knee and could be unavailable for a third straight game. However, Hyland has played in only one of the last eight games, logging nine minutes in a cameo against Sacramento, so his absence doesn't affect the Clippers in any way.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (knee) is questionable for Monday's contest against Indiana. He's on the injury report with right knee soreness and could remain on the sidelines after already missing time with the ailment. With that said, Hyland hasn't been part of the Clippers' plans anymore since the James Harden trade. He's earned only a few minutes of playing time, hitting the court just five times across the last 17 games. Hyland couldn't find his way in Denver, and it looks like he'll need to move on from L.A. as well to establish himself as an NBA player.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (shoulder) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Hyland sat out of their last game due to a right shoulder strain. Luckily, it appears to be a minor issue and he'll be available for this game. However, Hyland hasn't been a big part of the rotation lately. Since November 10th, Hyland has appeared in four games and played 13 minutes. He won't be on the fantasy radar going forward.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It appears the Clippers are going to hold out Hyland while he recovers from a right shoulder strain. His absence won't be a big loss for Los Angeles considering Hyland hasn't been a huge part of the rotation. The Clippers don't really need him right now with James Harden and Russell Westbrook both healthy. That being said, Hyland isn't worth holding in most fantasy formats right now.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland will make his move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Normally, Hyland is the primary backup point guard to Russell Westbrook. However, he will shift into the starting five with the Clippers shorthanded on Tuesday. The team traded Robert Covington, Nicolas Batum, and Marcus Morris Sr. to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for James Harden. Now, Hyland will start in place of Covington in the rotation. The expectation is that Hyland will continue to have an increased role until Harden is ready to play or Terance Mann (ankle) is back.
