Details on McDaniels' Injury and Return

The Minnesota Timberwolves have announced that forward Jaden McDaniels will miss at least two weeks due to a right ankle injury. McDaniels suffered the injury during a recent game and has already missed the past two weeks. The team has not provided a specific timetable for his return, but it is expected that he will miss multiple games.

McDaniels has been a key player for the Timberwolves this season, averaging 12.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game. He has started 37 of the team's 44 games and has been a valuable contributor on both ends of the floor. His absence will be a blow to the Timberwolves, who are currently in the eighth spot in the Western Conference standings.

The Timberwolves will have to rely on other players to step up in McDaniels' absence. Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, and D'Angelo Russell will need to carry a heavier load offensively, while players like Taurean Prince and Jaylen Nowell will need to provide more depth on the wing.

The Timberwolves are scheduled to play their next game on Wednesday, November 23, against the Los Angeles Lakers. It is unclear if McDaniels will be available for that game, but the team will likely provide another update on his status closer to game time.
