The Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> went up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday at Target Center without one of their key players, as Naz Reid<\/a> was sidelined by a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

Reid has been balling out in recent weeks<\/a>, and sitting out against the 76ers was a big blow for the Timberwolves, who are looking for their fourth straight win.<\/p>\n

It is unclear when Reid suffered the shoulder injury<\/a>. He suited up in their win against the Dallas Mavericks, 122-111, on Friday, finishing with 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two blocks in 30 minutes off the bench.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Reid has a strong case to win his second Sixth Man of the Year trophy, as he is averaging career-highs of 14.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.0 steals.<\/p>\n

He signed a five-year extension worth $125 million in the offseason.<\/p>\n

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has often lauded Reid’s work ethic<\/a>, which has helped them remain competitive in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can’t remember exactly the time, but it was certainly within the first window of the season. I would say he really started to kind of just really rebound at a high level and make a lot of those types of plays. Get out and run, rebound, just play with more activity. That’s what really got him going offensively,\u201d said Finch in a report from Timberwolves reporter Liam Willerup.<\/p>\n

Aside from Reid, Minnesota also battled Philadelphia without Rudy Gobert, who served a one-game suspension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joan Beringer, Ayo Dosunmu, and Terrence Shannon Jr. have earned extra minutes without Reid and Gobert.<\/p>\n

It is still unclear how long Reid will be out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Minnesota Timberwolves went up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday at Target Center without one of their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":618983,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3782],"tags":[7,307,152,3954,520,6,14502,308],"class_list":{"0":"post-618982","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-timberwolves","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-minnesota","10":"tag-minnesota-timberwolves","11":"tag-minnesotatimberwolves","12":"tag-naz-reid","13":"tag-nba","14":"tag-nba-injury","15":"tag-timberwolves"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116117510992775505","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
