What happened to Naz Reid? Live injury updates for Timberwolves vs. Bulls on Thursday 1/22/26

Minnesota Timberwolves NBA

UPDATE: Reid returned to the game in the second quarter.

With 7:23 left in the second quarter of Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bulls, Naz Reid was replaced by Rudy Gobert. Reid injured his shoulder and is now in the locker room. It’s the same shoulder that knocked him out of a game last weekend.

Prior to exiting, Reid contributed nine points, two rebounds and three assists in 11 minutes off the bench. Joan Beringer could see an increase in playing time if Reid is unable to return since he’s one of the only bigs available off the bench.

If Reid does not return to the game, he would be eligible for DraftKings Early Exit since he left prior to halftime.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
