| at DEN 97-112 0 Q | Rivers played the final three minutes of Friday's 120-95 win over the Thunder in a Play-In Game, recording two points (1-1 FG) and turning the ball over once. The Scoop:After missing three straight games earlier in April, Rivers was cleared in advance of the regular-season finale April 9 versus the Pelicans but didn't play in that contest. He remained on the bench Tuesday for Minnesota's loss to the Lakers in the first game of the Play-In Tournament, but Rivers got the chance to see some garbage-time run Friday. Even with two key rotation pieces in Jaden McDaniels (hand) and Naz Reid (wrist) out indefinitely, Rivers doesn't look like he'll be a regular fixture on the second unit during Minnesota's upcoming first-round playoff series with the top-seeded Nuggets.

| Austin Rivers: Good to go Sunday Rivers (illness) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans. The Scoop: Rivers has been upgraded from questionable to available and will return to action following a five-game absence due to an illness. His return should mean fewer minutes for Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Apr 9 7:44 ET |
| Austin Rivers: Listed as questionable Rivers (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans. The Scoop: Rivers is in danger of missing a sixth straight game due to an illness. Jaylen Nowell (ankle) is also questionable, so if both backup guards are ruled out, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jordan McLaughlin would continue to see increased run behind Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards.

| Austin Rivers: Out Saturday Rivers (illness) will not play in Saturday's game against the Spurs, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Apr 8 7:43 ET |
| Austin Rivers: Questionable Saturday Rivers (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs. The Scoop: Rivers has missed the last four games due to a non-COVID illness, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Saturday. However, his status shouldn't significantly impact the Timberwolves' rotation. Apr 7 10:47 ET |
