Jaden McDaniels of the Minnesota Timberwolves is out week-to-week with a left knee injury. An MRI shows patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise. McDaniels injured his knee late in Wednesday's overtime victory against the Houston Rockets and sat out Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. He’s been a consistent performer, playing over 70 games in five of his six NBA seasons. This season, he averages 14.8 points, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 blocks, serving as Minnesota's top perimeter defender. The injury hits at a crucial moment as the Timberwolves fight for playoff positioning, currently tied for the No. 5 seed with the Rockets. In a potential boost, star guard Anthony Edwards is upgraded to questionable for Monday’s game against the Mavericks after missing six games with a right knee injury. The NBA playoffs start on April 18.
