Naz Reid (finger) is good to go for Monday's action against the Sacramento Kings. The team has upgraded his status from questionable to available ahead of tip-off. Reid will make a second consecutive start, with
Julius Randle (groin) remaining on the shelf. A finger sprain ruined Reid's first start of the campaign on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, limiting him to eight points and three rebounds in 20 minutes. However, his career numbers as a first-unit member are solid at 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks.

Naz Reid (finger) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. A finger injury limited Reid to 20 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards, and he may have to sit out Monday's contest entirely. Reid took
Julius Randle's (groin) starting spot on Saturday, and
Luka Garza might now be the next man up. Garza has been dominant in the G League but has made a limited impact in the NBA, averaging 5.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes.

Naz Reid (finger) exited Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards. He did not return. The 25-year-old, who got the start in this one, logged 20 minutes before suffering a right finger injury in the third quarter. With Minnesota preparing for
Julius Randle (groin) to miss extended time, being without Reid moving forward isn't a good situation for a club that has dealt with its share of injuries during the 2024-25 campaign. If Reid doesn't suit up for Monday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings,
Luka Garza and
Joe Ingles may take over things at the four spot. However, both players have a lot to prove before earning a consistent spot in fantasy lineups.

Naz Reid (illness) was not able to play on Wednesday after playing in each of the Wolves' first 46 games this season, but he is not on the injury report for Thursday when the Wolves will visit the Jazz to close out their back-to-back. In 25.3 minutes off the bench, he averaged 13.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.1 three-pointers per game. Reid's return should help take the load off
Julius Randle and
Rudy Gobert and could push Luke Garza back out of the rotation.
