Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson has loved his spell with the team and wants to extend his stay. The versatile forward inked a two-year, $18 million contract with the T-Wolves in 2022. His playing time dropped significantly in 2023-24, which also had an impact on the rest of his numbers, but Anderson has pointed to family reasons as a major factor for wanting to stay in Minnesota. Playing for a successful team is definitely appealing for him as well. Anderson, who will turn 31 in September, averaged 6.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 22.6 minutes this season.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson had a good 17-minute outing off the bench in Sunday's Game 3 loss to the Mavericks. He finished with 10 points, three assists, and two blocks, scoring eight of his points inside a five-minute stretch in the fourth quarter to give Minnesota a 104-102 lead. Unfortunately for the Timberwolves, the team was able to add just three more points on the board in the final five minutes, losing 116-107. Minnesota has had an awful time in the series, losing all three games so far, but Anderson has done well in the matchup. He's shot 63.2 percent from the field to average 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 18.0 minutes.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (hip) is questionable for Sunday's postseason clash with the Phoenix Suns. The veteran is dealing with a hip pointer. While Anderson carried an injury designation heading into Game 3, he was still out there, although he had just two points in eight minutes. The 30-year-old likely won't see much action in Game 4 if he suits up, considering Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have absorbed most of the bench minutes. As a result, Anderson is irrelevant for DFS purposes on Sunday.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (hip) has been listed as questionable for the Game 3 matchup on Friday against the Phoenix Suns. Anderson has only played five minutes across two games in this series so far, and it's unclear how he'd fit back into the rotation if he was upgraded to active. His minutes have fluctuated all season long and it could come down to matchups. If he remains sidelined, however, Monte Morris, Naz Reid, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely remain the main three players off of the bench.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (hip) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 2 against Phoenix. Anderson hurt his right hip in the series opener at the weekend, playing only five minutes. Nickeil Alexander-Walker earned extra trust off the bench and had an outstanding day at the office on Saturday with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, and four steals. Everybody's favorite sixth man, Naz Reid, should also eat up a few more minutes on Tuesday if Anderson can't play.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Anderson suited up Saturday against the Jazz, spending 31 minutes on the court while posting four points, five rebounds, nine assists, one block, and two steals. He was also listed as questionable on Saturday but was able to suit up. The 30-year-old has been in the Timberwolves lineup 64 of 67 games this season.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Anderson suited up on Friday but has been dealing with a shoulder issue. He could make a considerable impact, with Minnesota missing Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Rudy Gobert (ribs). The 30-year-old could be a starter versus the Jazz, averaging 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists during 63 games this season.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Anderson was able to play on Friday but has been dealing with a lingering shoulder issue. His absence would be important considering he has been starting in place of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) lately. Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely be asked to move into the starting five if Anderson is unable to play. He'd be an interesting streaming option if asked to start.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) will play on Tuesday against the Clippers. He had been dealing with shoulder pain and wasn't in the lineup on Sunday versus the Lakers. But one game was good enough to feel better, so Anderson will be back in the lineup on Tuesday. The 30-year-old has averaged just 6.2 points and 3.5 rebounds this season, both down from the 2022-23 campaign. However, with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) out, Anderson should see a noticeable increase in fantasy production. That said, he still can't be trusted to be a routine contributor.
Kyle Anderson Added To Injury Report As Questionable
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) has been added to the injury report as questionable ahead of Sunday's battle against the Lakers. He's landed on the injury list with right shoulder pain. Anderson has started the last two games for Minnesota following Karl-Anthony Towns' (knee) exit from the lineup. He struggled in his first opportunity but did well in the second game, posting 10 points, three rebounds, five assists, and one steal. Naz Reid has already stepped into a bigger role without Towns and would benefit further from Anderson's absence, especially with Rudy Gobert (hamstring) also in danger of missing Sunday's game. The frontcourt injuries also boost Jaden McDaniels' fantasy stock. He's just had his second 40-minute outing of the month.
