The Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers enter Tuesday’s matchup at Gainbridge Fieldhouse with multiple key players.
Minnesota will be without Anthony Edwards (right knee) and Jaden McDaniels (left knee), both listed as out due to injury maintenance and patella tendinopathy, respectively.
Indiana’s injury report is notably extensive. Tyrese Haliburton (right Achilles) and Johnny Furphy (right ACL) are out, while Pascal Siakam (left ankle) and Ivica Zubac (right rib) are also sidelined. T.J. McConnell, Andrew Nembhard, and Aaron Nesmith are unavailable due to various injury management protocols. Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard are questionable, and Obi Toppin is probable.
These absences leave Minnesota without its leading scorer and one of its primary forwards, both of whom have averaged 28.9 and 14.8 points per game this season. Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle remain central to the Timberwolves’ inside-out strategy, combining for over 32 points and 18 rebounds per game.
The Timberwolves have dropped three consecutive games, including losses to Philadelphia and Charlotte, averaging just 105 points while allowing 118 over that span.
Indiana, meanwhile, has lost its last two contests by double digits, including a 108-129 defeat to Charlotte.
This season, the Timberwolves won the only prior meeting against the Pacers, 114-110 on October 26, 2025.
Tuesday’s game is set to tip off at 7:00 PM ET.
