Jaden McDaniels Fantasy Stats

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (oblique) is considered questionable for Thursday's Christmas game against the Denver Nuggets. He could miss a second consecutive contest due to a left oblique contusion. With McDaniels out on Tuesday against the New York Knicks, Mike Conley rejoined the first unit, logging a season-high 30 minutes. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, his production was modest, as the veteran playmaker settled for eight points and two assists. Naz Reid and Bones Hyland also benefit from McDaniels' absence from the rotation.

He sustained a left oblique contusion in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, exiting the contest after logging just nine minutes of playing time. Due to the injury, McDaniels may now have to sit out his second game of the season. Mike Conley started the second half in McDaniels' place on Sunday and may keep the spot for Tuesday's matchup.

He's dealing with a sprained wrist that he suffered on Monday in their win over the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old doesn't miss games very often, so he has a real chance to return. If he is forced to miss one more game, however, Mike Conley would likely remain in the starting five.
