Jaden McDaniels Exits Preseason Game with Ankle Injury, Fails to Return for Timberwolves

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels sustained an ankle injury during Thursday's 100-95 preseason loss to the Knicks and was unable to return to the game. Before his exit, McDaniels played 23 minutes, recording seven points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field, including 1-of-3 from three-point range, and was perfect from the free-throw line (2-2 FT). He also contributed six rebounds, two assists, and one steal. His failure to return after the ankle issue raises immediate concerns for the Timberwolves as the regular season approaches.
