The Wolves released their injury report ahead of Tuesday’s play-in game against the Lakers and it’s … a lot.
Already thin at center with the Naz Reid injury, Minnesota will be even thinner after the Rudy Gobert suspension and Luka Garza listed as out as well.

Jaden McDaniels is out after fracturing his hand when punching a wall in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans.
In what has become commonplace since his return from a severe calf strain, Karl-Anthony Towns is listed as questionable.
Minnesota won’t have to play small ball, they will definitely be smaller without 7’1’’ Gobert and 6’9’’ McDaniels.
The Wolves haven’t released an official starting lineup, but the combo of Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Kyle Anderson, Taurean Prince and Towns, assume he plays, seems like a logical possibility.
The Wolves finished as the eight seed after a 42-40 season and will take on the Lakers in the play-in game Tuesday at 9:30 p.m CT.
The winner of Tuesday’s play-in game will take on the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The loser hosts the winner of the Pelicans/Thunder play-in game.
