Minnesota Timberwolves Rising Star Out Until Deep Into The Playoffs

The Minnesota Timberwolves made a massive win-now move this off-season when they acquired Rudy Gobert from the Utah Jazz, and while they've found their way into the play-in at this point, making a deep run will be tough.

If they are to do so, they'll be relying on plenty of young names, and unfortunately, one name that now won't be with the team until at least the Western Conference Finals, if they make it that far, is Naz Reid, who has grown in leaps and bounds in 2022/23.

Naz Reid won’t be able to re-join the Timberwolves until near the Western Conference finals according to @wojespn’s report.

This season, Reid is setting career highs across the board with scoring, blocks, rebounds and even assists, and even if the team don't make a deep run this year, they've found a key depth piece for years to come in Naz Reid.
