Minnesota Timberwolves have been fortunate on the injury front

The NBA's 82-game regular season is long and grueling, especially with the current pace and competition level. It's difficult for many teams to prevail against the injury bug, hindering their progress over time. The Minnesota Timberwolves injury report has not seemed concerning at any point, which has allowed them to be a dominant force in the stacked Western Conference.

Anthony Edwards has missed only three games, while Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns have missed once apiece. Their fourth-best player, Mike Conley, has also missed only one game. Jaden McDaniels is the only consistent rotation player to miss five games or more. He's missed 10.

The Timberwolves will hope the trend continues and they can create some separation atop the West standings, allowing their core to take a few games off before the playoffs tip-off.
