Rob Dillingham’s status remains uncertain for Saturday’s match against the Pacers due to a fractured nose sustained after playing one minute on Friday. Although potentially cleared to play with a protective face mask, his impact is expected to be minimal given his limited role early in the season.

Rob Dillingham, along with Leonard Miller, Johnny Juzang, Joan Beringer, and Jaylen Clark, is set to start for the Timberwolves this Friday against the 76ers. With key players like Mike Conley Jr., Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle, and Jaden McDaniels sidelined, the team is providing opportunities for younger players to showcase their skills. Dillingham, noted for his earlier 27-point performance against Guangzhou, will look to capitalize on this chance to solidify his role.

Rob Dillingham impressed in Monday’s exhibition against Guangzhou, scoring 27 points on 10-of-14 shooting, alongside nine assists and four three-pointers. With Mike Conley resting, Dillingham seized the opportunity to showcase his efficiency and floor command. While fellow guard Terrence Shannon Jr. may hold more fantasy upside this season, Dillingham’s performance suggests he’ll have ample opportunities to contribute as a second-year player with the Timberwolves.
