Phillips is good to go for his Timberwolves’ debut. However, he offered little fantasy value in Chicago, and that’s unlikely to change in Minnesota, at least in the short term.

Phillips suffered a sprained right wrist before he was traded from Chicago to Minnesota. Due to the injury, his Timberwolves debut may be delayed a bit longer. Phillips did not play consistent rotation minutes in Chicago, and it’s unknown how he fits into Minnesota’s rotation. Leave him on the waiver wire.

Phillips entered the league as a defensive prospect, but that never led to consistent minutes in Chicago. He’ll likely be in a similar situation in Minnesota as a depth piece, which won’t lead to much production in the box score. This isn’t a situation where Phillips will benefit from a change of scenery.

Phillips is still dealing with a wrist sprain that cost him multiple games in January. While the 22-year-old forward has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Bucks, his absence won’t have much of an impact on the Bulls’ bench rotation, let alone fantasy basketball.

Phillips is one of many Bulls listed on the injury report for Wednesday’s game. The good news is that he’s considered probable, so there’s a good chance he suits up. With Isaac Okoro doubtful and Kevin Huerter out, there should be additional rotation minutes available to Phillips. However, it’s unlikely to be enough for him to affect fantasy basketball.

Phillips used a big third-quarter performance to help Chicago close the door on this game and set a new career-high for scoring. He scored 15 of his 23 points in the third quarter alone to help lead the Bulls to a 30-point victory. The 2023 second-round pick didn’t play a significant role as a rookie, but he has played a larger role in year two. He started in place of Josh Giddey, and with Chicago locked in as the ninth seed in the East, Phillips will likely start against the 76ers in the season finale on Sunday with the veterans resting in preparation for the Play-In Tournament.

Phillips hasn’t contributed much since being drafted with the No. 35 pick in 2023, but everything came together on Thursday. He played a career-high 34 minutes and set new career-highs for points, rebounds and assists. It was an impressive performance from the 21-year-old forward, and it would be surprising if Chicago didn’t further explore his upside over the final month of the season. The production will be inconsistent, but he should have a consistent role moving forward.
