Jaden McDaniels (knee) will finally play for the Timberwolves, snapping his six-game absence on Wednesday in Orlando.<\/p>\n

Jaden McDaniels’ return is now on the horizon for the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

The All-Defensive forward is all set to rejoin<\/a> the T-Wolves’ lineup on Wednesday in Orlando against the Magic.<\/p>\n

This would mark the on-court comeback of McDaniels after missing the last six games for Minnesota due to a left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There has been a significant perception that he might be out significantly after the Wolves marked him as out on a “week-to-week” basis, but he apparently cleared himself for full contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities.<\/p>\n

He is set to face a minutes restriction in his return for Minnesota.<\/p>\n

With two more games left after the Orlando game, McDaniels’ return can’t be any bigger for the Timberwolves as the NBA Playoffs approach.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old is averaging a career-best 14.8 points in nearly 52 percent shooting (42.1 percent from three) with 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 block across 71 games this 2025-26.\u00a0<\/p>\n
