Antonio Reeves Getting Spot Minutes Early for Minnesota
Antonio Reeves is on the Timberwolves roster this season, wearing No. 12, and he is not on the injury report. Through Minnesota's first five games he has split time between short appearances and DNPs, with his most productive outing a 12-point game against Milwaukee. Last season he played sparingly for Charlotte, shooting efficiently in a limited role.

Reeves has appeared in three of Minnesota's first five games. He scored 12 points in 12 minutes in a win over Milwaukee on October 5, then 5 points in 12 minutes against Miami and 6 points in 10.6 minutes against New York, both wins. He did not play in losses to Detroit and Indiana. The swings point to a role that depends on matchup and game flow rather than a locked rotation spot this early in the season.

Last season, 2025-26, Reeves played 10 games for Charlotte, averaging 6.8 minutes and 2.7 points. His shooting was efficient in that small sample: 50.0 percent from the field and 53.8 percent from three-point range, with a 67.5 true shooting percentage. His usage rate sat at 13.3. He did not attempt a free throw all season. Those numbers reflect a short, low-volume stretch rather than an established role.
