What happened: Jaylen Clark underwent an MRI revealing a right hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The injury occurred during Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls, forcing him to exit early.
Why it matters: The injury tests Minnesota's rotation depth across the backcourt during November. The Timberwolves must adjust their perimeter defense while Clark undergoes treatment and rehabilitation.
By the numbers: Minnesota stands at 9-4 through 13 games in the 2026-27 season, ranking fifth in the Western Conference after Saturday's 117-106 loss to Chicago.
What to watch: Team medical staff will re-evaluate Clark in two weeks to determine his status for a return to game action.
