Naz Reid Briefly Exits Game with Shoulder Injury, Quickly Returns

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid briefly went to the locker room during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Bulls due to a left shoulder injury. This appeared to be an aggravation of an injury he initially sustained against the Spurs on Saturday. However, after evaluation by medical staff, Reid quickly checked back into the game. Joan Beringer was noted as a player who could see more minutes off the bench if Reid had remained out.
