Shannon Jr. will sit out a third straight game, and in his absence, Mike Conley, Rob Dillingham and Jaylen Clark should pick up some extra playing time. Minnesota plays a back-to-back set, so Shannon Jr.'s next chance to take the court will come on Monday against the Jazz.

Shannon has missed the last two games for the Timberwolves but has a chance to return to the lineup against Sacramento. Jaylen Clark, Mike Conley and Rob Dillingham have taken on extra minutes with Shannon out and will continue to play a larger role if Shannon remains sidelined.

With Shannon sidelined for another matchup, guys like Jaylen Clark, Mike Conley and Rob Dillingham should absorb his minutes in a committee approach, though none of those players offer much fantasy upside.

Shannon missed Wednesday’s game, which led to Mike Conley, Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham filling out the reserve guard minutes. If Shannon is sidelined again, that will continue, but it won’t provide any of the aforementioned guards with enough minutes to be worth streaming.

Shannon popped up on the injury report as questionable Wednesday afternoon and is now out for the matchup with the Knicks. Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham could see extra minutes on the wing with Shannon out, though neither are worth adding in fantasy basketball.

Shannon is a late addition to the injury report, and his potential absence would open up extra minutes off the bench on the wing. However, with Anthony Edwards (hamstring) also questionable, Edwards could fill those minutes. Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham could also play larger reserve roles.

With Nickeil Alexander-Walker now a member of the Atlanta Hawks, Shannon is one of the young reserves hoping to earn a larger role during the preseason. After a solid outing in Monday’s exhibition opener against the Pacers, Shannon did not miss any of his three-point attempts and was active as a rebounder. Rob Dillingham (10/2/5 with two three-pointers) will also have his opportunities to step up, especially if the Timberwolves look to rest Mike Conley during back-to-backs. However, Shannon is more worthy of a late-round flier in standard leagues.

Nobody has had an answer for Shannon this summer. He’s averaging 22.7 points, six rebounds, five assists and 3.3 three-pointers per game through three appearances ahead of his second year in the league. Of course, he came in as an older rookie, so a player that will turn 25 later this month should be dominating. Still, he has been impressive and should help make up for the loss of Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Given how well he’s played in Minnesota’s first two games in Las Vegas, it would be unsurprising if the team decided it has seen enough from Shannon. Likely to take on a larger role next season due to Nickeil Alexander Walker’s departure, the 27th overall pick in the 2024 draft has looked ready for the task thus far. Among Shannon’s highlights on Saturday were five three-pointers and an emphatic fourth-quarter dunk that got a courtside Anthony Edwards out of his seat. While he may not be a must-draft player in standard leagues, Shannon may develop into a player who needs to be rostered in deeper formats.

With Nickeil Alexander-Walker now a member of the Atlanta Hawks, Shannon is well-positioned to earn consistent rotation minutes next season. The 27th pick in the 2024 draft played well on Thursday, recording a near-complete stat line while only committing three turnovers. Shannon did score 15 points in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, but that was a contest that Minnesota controlled throughout, resulting in more minutes for the team’s non-rotation players. With Alexander-Walker gone, the Timberwolves will need Shannon to step forward. While “it was only summer league,” Thursday’s performance was a step in the right direction.

Shannon Jr. hadn’t played more than three minutes in another other playoff game this year, but the 24-year-old shooting guard provided a spark off the bench as the Timberwolves took a 31-point lead into halftime. Shannon Jr. also got some run in the fourth quarter with the game out of reach, but it was a great story to see the inexperienced player outscore MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on Saturday.

Shannon will miss another game, but his absence does not impact fantasy basketball. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to handle the backup perimeter minutes.

Shannon Jr. will miss a third-straight game, but the difference in this one is that he won’t be given the questionable tag before being ruled out. Jaylen Clark and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to take on a few extra minutes with Shannon Jr. sidelined.

Shannon’s continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as he is not guaranteed rotation minutes when he is available to play. Jaylen Clark and Nickeil Alexander-Walker can absorb the few minutes that would have gone to Shannon.

Shannon was held out of Friday’s win over the Suns, but the rookie has not played more than 10 minutes in a game since early March. He’s unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball if allowed to play on Sunday.

Shannon has been downgraded from questionable to out, but his absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball. The rookie’s minutes will likely be divided among Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaylen Clark.

TSJ’s role in the rotation has been minimal in March despite a few big games at the end of February. Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaylen Clark will split a few extra minutes if Shannon Jr. isn’t able to suit up.

The Timberwolves have made two changes to the lineup that started Thursday’s loss to the Lakers, one due to suspension (Anthony Edwards). Also out of the lineup is Jaylen Clark, who heads to the bench, with Alexander-Walker and Shannon moving in.

The rookie has played well recently, and everything came together for him on Thursday. After recording the first double-double of his career in Minnesota’s last game, he followed that up with a new career-high for points. 16 of his 25 points came in the second half, and he stepped up after Anthony Edwards was ejected to nearly help Minnesota pull off the comeback. Edwards picked up his 16th technical foul, which will likely lead to him being suspended against the Jazz on Friday. That will provide Shannon Jr. with a great opportunity to build on this performance, assuming the technical doesn’t get rescinded.
