Naz Reid of the Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a right finger sprain during the third quarter of the game against the Washington Wizards at Target Center. Reid had been visibly uncomfortable, grabbing at his hand multiple times before being substituted out. Despite briefly returning to the bench, he ultimately left for the locker room and was ruled out for the remainder of the game. Prior to his exit, he contributed eight points and three rebounds. With Reid sidelined, Luka Garza saw increased playing time, continuing the trend as he had already been receiving extended minutes due to Julius Randle's absence caused by a groin injury.
