Not playing Friday
Beringer (back) has been ruled out for Friday's Summer League game against the Clippers.
Analysis
Beringer will end up missing the Timberwolves' final four games of the Summer League due to lower-back tightness. The 2025 first-rounder averaged just 7.9 minutes per game across 40 regular-season contests during his rookie campaign. However, with Naz Reid now in Charlotte, Beringer figures to operate as Minnesota's backup center behind Rudy Gobert for the 2026-27 season.

Out Wednesday

Analysis
Beringer is sidelined for a third consecutive contest due to back tightness. The 2025 first-rounder's next chance to play will come Friday against the Clippers, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Timberwolves proceeded with caution.
