Plays garbage time in debut
Phillips (wrist) played the final 4:13 of Sunday's 115-96 loss to the Clippers, finishing with two points (1-1 FG).
Analyse
Before the Timberwolves acquired him from the Bulls on Thursday, Phillips had missed a game due to a right wrist sprain, but he made enough progress in his recovery from his injury over the weekend to get the green light to make his Minnesota debut Sunday. Phillips didn't see the court until the Clippers had the win well in hand, and the 22-year-old forward seems likely to find himself outside of the rotation while Minnesota has all of its key contributors available.

Cleared to make T-Wolves debut
Phillips (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Analyse
The Timberwolves acquired Phillips and Ayo Dosunmu from the Bulls on Thursday. The former was originally tabbed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a right wrist sprain, but Phillips has been given the green light to make his debut with Minnesota. He averaged 9.5 minutes per game off the bench with the Bulls and will provide the Timberwolves with frontcourt depth behind Naz Reid, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert.

Iffy for Sunday
Phillips (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Analyse
Phillips was traded from Chicago to Minnesota on Thursday, though he's still dealing with a right wrist sprain and may have to wait to make his Timberwolves debut. The 22-year-old forward isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time for Minnesota but will provide depth in the frontcourt. Over 35 regular-season appearances (two starts) for Chicago before the trade, he averaged 2.8 points in 9.5 minutes per game.

Won't play Friday
Phillips (recently traded) will not play Friday against the Pelicans.
Analyse
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.
Analyse
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.
Analyse
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.
3 februari 2026
Listed out vs. Bucks
Phillips (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.
Analyse
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.
