Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Drops 21 points in defeat
Rotowire
Shannon notched 21 points (8-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Shannon shed a questionable tag due to a head contusion to suit up Friday, and he delivered a bounce-back performance after shooting 0-for-5 from the field in Tuesday's Game 5 loss. The second-year swingman finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer while pacing the bench in points. The 25-year-old saw increased burn in the playoffs after Donte DiVincenzo ruptured his Achilles, and with the latter likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2026-27 campaign, Shannon could be in line for a more sizable role depending on what moves the Timberwolves make this summer. He averaged 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds across 12.5 minutes per game in 43 regular-season outings (two starts), though Shannon certainly flashed his potential during the postseason.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Available against Spurs
Rotowire
Shannon (head) is available for Friday's Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus San Antonio.
Shannon appeared on the injury report because of a head contusion. However, the injury won't keep him off the floor for Friday's must-win clash against the Spurs. The 25-year-old has averaged 8.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 25.0 minutes during this series. Shannon's presence will likely result in less opportunity for Mike Conley and Bones Hyland.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Shannon (head) is questionable for Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Friday.
Shannon is a late addition to the injury report with a head contusion. Mike Conley would appear to be the primary beneficiary from a fantasy perspective if Shannon, who's logged at least 20 minutes in five of Minnesota's last six contests, is unable to play Friday.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Heading to bench Friday
Rotowire
Shannon will come off the bench in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Friday.
Anthony Edwards will replace Shannon in the first unit for Friday's game, and Shannon's minutes figure to dip with the demotion. In two games off the bench this postseason, Shannon has averaged 9.0 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 10.6 minutes per game.
Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Another strong line in win
Rotowire
Shannon finished Monday's 104-102 victory over the Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 16 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes.
Shannon's emergence in Minnesota due to some key injuries has really helped the team remain on course. Through four postseason appearances, the guard is averaging an impressive 14.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers on 47.7 percent shooting after averaging just 5.6 points during the regular season.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Standout performance in Game 6 win
Rotowire
Shannon chipped in 24 points (9-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 110-98 victory over the Nuggets in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Shannon received just his third start of the season, filling in for Ayo Dosunmu, who was a late scratch due to a calf injury. Despite a lack of big-game experience, Shannon proved to be a real difference-maker, leading from the front alongside Jaden McDaniels. Minnesota will now face San Antonio in the second round of the playoffs. The availability of both Dosunmu and Anthony Edwards (knee) will likely determine whether Shannon continues to play a sizeable role.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Drawing start in Game 6
Rotowire
Shannon is in the starting lineup for Game 6 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Nuggets on Thursday.
Shannon is the next man up after Ayo Dosunmu (calf) was ruled out for Thursday's matchup. Shannon and Bones Hyland should be in for a sizable uptick in minutes with Dosunmu, Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) all unavailable for Game 6.

Rotowire
Shannon (illness) is off the injury report for Game 4 on Saturday versus Denver.
Shannon wasn't available for Game 3 on Thursday due to an illness, but he's feeling better and ready to go for Game 4. That said, Shannon's presence is unlikely to affect Minnesota's rotation Saturday.

Rotowire
Shannon (illness) is out for Game 3 against the Nuggets on Thursday.
Shannon and Jaylen Clark will both miss Thursday's matchup after falling ill. Neither player has taken the court through the first two games of the series, so their absences should have little impact.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Big effort at charity stripe
Rotowire
Shannon closed with 26 points (6-18 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 14-18 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 132-126 victory over the Pelicans.
Shannon was inefficient from the field and failed to knock down a three-pointer, but he got to the charity stripe consistently and grinded his way to a team-best 26 points. Seeing heavy minutes of late, the 25-year-old has eclipsed the 20-point mark in each of the Timberwolves' past three games. He'll close the regular season averaging 5.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 12.5 minutes across 43 appearances.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Shannon will start Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Explodes for 33 points vs. Orlando
Rotowire
Shannon amassed 33 points (11-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Magic.
Shannon didn't start Wednesday, but he made his presence felt off the bench and led all Minnesota players in this loss while setting a new career-high scoring mark. This was just the seventh time Shannon scored in double digits this season, and even though one game won't be enough to experience a drastic uptick in his fantasy upside, don't be surprised if he has a bigger role offensively in the final two games of the regular season, especially if the Timberwolves continue to rest most of their starters.

Rotowire

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Shannon is in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Pistons on Saturday.
Shannon has played just three minutes over the Timberwolves' last two games, but the second-year pro will draw the start Saturday due to the absences of Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (knee). It's just the second start of Shannon's NBA career, with his last taking place Feb. 28, 2025, against the Jazz, when he played 28 minutes and finished with 17 points, five assists, four rebounds and one block.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Logs 25 minutes in spot start
Rotowire
Shannon accumulated eight points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Saturday's 109-87 loss to the Pistons.
Shannon moved into the starting lineup, with Minnesota going deep into its rotation due to a number of injuries to its regular core. Given that Shannon had barely been in the rotation during the two previous games, there is no reason to think this move will stick, assuming the team can start to get healthy sooner rather than later.

Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Moves back outside of rotation
Rotowire
Shannon (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Timberwolves' 127-117 win over the Warriors.
Shannon had appeared in each of Minnesota's previous four contests and averaged 7.8 minutes per game, but his spot in the rotation disappeared Friday while the Timberwolves welcomed Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) back from a one-game absence. Now at full health, the Timberwolves are likely to run out a nine-man rotation in most games, but Shannon appears to be the next man up to join the second unit if Minnesota is missing a player at any point.
