Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Held scoreless in narrow win
Rotowire
Nowell amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in eight minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 victory over the Hawks.
Nowell played 20 minutes off the bench Monday in his return from a 10-game absence, but his playing time was much more limited during Wednesday's narrow win. This was just the second time this year that he's been held scoreless, but he's been an unreliable contributor for most of the season.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Nowell (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Nowell logged 20 minutes in his first game action since Feb. 24 as he dealt with tendinitis in his left knee and scored 14 points. Although the Timberwolves will likely maintain caution with Nowell given the touchy nature of the injury, he should be expected to see a similar if not expanded role Wednesday with Anthony Edwards (ankle) sidelined.
Nowell (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Nowell looked good over 20 minutes in his return from nearly a month-long absence Monday, but it looks like he could be hit with a maintenance day Wednesday. He'll presumably test himself at shootaround, but with Anthony Edwards (ankle) and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) potentially set to return for Wednesday's game, Nowell's minutes and shot attempts figure to start dwindling.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Scores 14 points in return
Rotowire
Nowell (knee) closed Monday's 140-134 win over New York with 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists, three steals, one rebound and one block across 20 minutes.
Nowell returned from a 10-game absence with a bang, flourishing as a go-to option on the second unit while also chipping in useful contributions in the assists and steals category. Anthony Edwards (ankle) was sidelined Monday and may not be ready to play in the Timberwolves' next game Wednesday against the Hawks, so Nowell all of a sudden becomes a streaming consideration for anyone in need of a scoring boost. He was one of only four Timberwolves players to fire up double-digit shot attempts Monday.
