Won't play Friday
Phillips (recently traded) will not play Friday against the Pelicans.
Analysis
Phillips was acquired from Chicago on Thursday and will not play until his trade is finalized. He averaged just 9.5 minutes per game in a limited role with the Bulls, and he is not expected to see significant playing time in Minnesota initially.

Traded to Minnesota
The Bulls traded Phillips (wrist) and Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps) to the Timberwolves on Thursday in exchange for Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Phillips spent the past three seasons in Chicago, but he was never able to carve out a consistent role. Across 154 career regular-season appearances for the Bulls, he averaged just 11.6 minutes per contest. Minutes won't be easy to come by in Minnesota, so his fantasy outlook remains bleak. He can be considered questionable to debut Friday against the Pelicans.

Iffy for Thursday
Philips (wrist) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto.
Analysis
Phillips missed Tuesday's game against Milwaukee due to a sprained right wrist, and his availability is in doubt for Thursday's game as well. The forward is averaging 2.8 points and 1.3 rebounds across 9.5 minutes per game this season.

Listed out vs. Bucks
Phillips (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.
Analysis
Phillips was added to the injury report as questionable after picking up a right wrist sprain, and he's since been ruled out for Tuesday's clash. His absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the rotation considering Chicago's frontcourt is otherwise healthy.

Questionable with wrist sprain
Phillips is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks with a right wrist sprain.
Analysis
Phillips is at risk of sitting out for the first time since Jan. 24. That said, his possible absence would appear to have a negligible impact on the Chicago rotation.
