Logs 25 minutes in spot start
Shannon accumulated eight points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Saturday's 109-87 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Shannon moved into the starting lineup, with Minnesota going deep into its rotation due to a number of injuries to its regular core. Given that Shannon had barely been in the rotation during the two previous games, there is no reason to think this move will stick, assuming the team can start to get healthy sooner rather than later.

Starting Saturday
Shannon is in the Timberwolves' starting lineup against the Pistons on Saturday.
Analysis
Shannon has played just three minutes over the Timberwolves' last two games, but the second-year pro will draw the start Saturday due to the absences of Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (knee). It's just the second start of Shannon's NBA career, with his last taking place Feb. 28, 2025, against the Jazz, when he played 28 minutes and finished with 17 points, five assists, four rebounds and one block.
