January 20, 2026
Minott is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with a sprained left ankle.
ANALYSIS
Minott is on the shelf for an eighth straight contest. In his absence, Luka Garza is cementing himself as the primary backup center behind starter Neemias Queta and is worth a look as a streamer in deeper fantasy leagues.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Minott is set to enter his third season with the Timberwolves, but if his involvement across the first two years in the league are of any indication, he shouldn't have a prominent role in Minnesota's rotation. Minott made 32 appearances off the bench in the 2023-24 regular season, and while that was a marked improvement compared to the 15 games in which he featured in as a rookie, Minott only averaged 2.8 minutes per game in his second year in The Association. Minott's role is not expected to increase in 2024-25, so fantasy managers shouldn't consider drafting him -- not even in the deepest dynasty formats.
Minott appeared in only 15 games during his rookie season, averaging 3.1 points and 1.7 rebounds in 6.4 minutes per game. Given he is buried on the depth chart, there is no reason to think his role will increase during the 2023-24 season. He remains a raw prospect, requiring time to prepare his body and mind for the rigors of an NBA season. Outside of dynasty formats, there is no reason to consider Minott as a draftable player.
A one-and-done at Memphis, Minott was selected with the No. 45 pick in the 2022 Draft and dealt to the Timberwolves. As a freshman, the 6-foot-9, 196-pound forward averaged 6.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks in 14.5 minutes. Right now, Minott is more potential than production. He's an elite athlete, which has gotten him this far, but he's not a shooter, can't really handle the ball and is too skinny to be imposing defensively. So expect time in the G League for Minott, who seemingly needs to spend more time on a basketball court with some professional direction and skill development to turn into a rotation player in the NBA.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could get extended look
FBoston Celtics
September 26, 2025
Brian Robb of Mass Live said in his mailbag column Friday that Minott could "get a big chance early."
ANALYSIS
"He checks a box as a defensive-minded wing with athleticism that provided some encouraging glimpses in brief stints in Minnesota over the last few years," Robb said. "If he can outshine Jordan Walsh in training camp, it's easy to envision him getting regular minutes off the bench, and he could even be a sleeper candidate to start, depending on how Joe Mazzulla constructs the rotation." With Boston's rotation so wide open, training camp will be fascinating to monitor from a fantasy standpoint.
