Reid left the game in the first quarter due to the injury. The initial report that he’s questionable to return is promising since the Timberwolves would not want a key rotation player to miss significant time. Minnesota is already shorthanded tonight as Rudy Gobert was ruled out due to a hip injury prior to tipoff.

Reid played five minutes, tallying one steal while shooting 0-for-1 from the field.
