US EditionTimberwolves’ Jaden McDaniels Ruled Week-To-Week With Knee Injury
McDaniels will miss several regular-season games due to a bone bruise and patella tendinopathy, with recovery focused on playoff readiness, the Timberwolves said.
- On Monday, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced forward Jaden McDaniels is week-to-week after an MRI revealed left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise sustained during last Wednesday's overtime win against the Houston Rockets.
- The Timberwolves face a difficult schedule, currently tied with the Rockets for the Western Conference's fifth seed with eight regular season games remaining in a tight playoff positioning battle.
- McDaniels requires no surgery, with his recovery "geared entirely toward getting him ready to go for the playoffs." The versatile defender averages 14.8 points per game while shooting a career-best 42.1% from three-point range.
- Minnesota may receive reinforcements as superstar guard Anthony Edwards and reserve Ayo Dosunmu are available for Monday's game, though wing Terrence Shannon Jr. started during Saturday's 109-87 loss to the Detroit Pistons.
- With the regular season concluding April 12, the Timberwolves face a narrow timeline before the NBA playoffs begin April 18, leaving minimal opportunity for McDaniels' return before postseason play.
