Timberwolves guard-forward Terrence Shannon Jr. is day-to-day with a left hip and torso issue, and his expected return is Nov. 4. Minnesota plays at Houston that night, and his availability for that game is not announced.
What happened
Shannon appears on the Tuesday, Nov. 3 injury report as day-to-day with a left hip and torso issue. No earlier status for him is on the report. Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reported that Shannon (hip) had been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bucks. The report lists his expected return as Nov. 4. It gives no further detail on the injury, and no timeline beyond that date has been announced.
What it means for the Timberwolves
Minnesota is at the Rockets on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 8:30 PM ET. The Timberwolves are 5-3, the 8th seed, and have won one straight. Shannon has played seven games and averages 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 22.0 minutes. The team is 4-3 with him and 1-0 without him. The Wolves are also thin on the wing: Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo are both listed out. In games without Shannon, Jonathan Kuminga played 30.8 minutes, Ayo Dosunmu 30.2, Joan Beringer 18.1 and Trey Lyles 16.7.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Shannon is listed for the Rockets game. His expected return date matches that game, but the team has not said he will play. Edwards and DiVincenzo are both out, so the Timberwolves' rotation depends on these updates. Watch the pregame report on Wednesday for Shannon's final status before the 8:30 PM ET game in Houston.
