Shannon has played seven games, averaging 22.0 minutes, 12.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists. The Timberwolves are 4-3 with him and 1-0 without him. In that win, Anthony Edwards played 33.6 minutes, Jaden McDaniels 32.8, Jonathan Kuminga 30.8 and Ayo Dosunmu 30.2.

What to watch

Edwards and DiVincenzo are also out, so the group available at Houston is thin. Shannon's hip and torso designation is the one to follow after Wednesday night.
