The Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum on Monday, February 2, 2026. Injuries are a major factor for both teams, and the availability of a few key players could directly affect the result.Minnesota enters the game with the better record and recent success in this matchup. Memphis, however, continues to deal with multiple absences and will once again depend on younger players to handle larger roles.OUT • Terrence Shannon Jr. - Left foot injury. • Enrique Freeman (two-way) - Not expected to play. • Rocco Zikarsky (two-way) - Out, reducing depth in the frontcourt.QUESTIONABLE • Anthony Edwards (back spasms) - Likely a game-time decision. His absence would impact Minnesota’s scoring. • Julius Randle (left thumb soreness) - Could miss the game, which would remove another primary offensive option.EXPECTED TO PLAY • Rudy Gobert • Mike Conley • Naz Reid • Remaining core rotation playersIf Edwards and Randle do not play, Minnesota will need Gobert’s defense in the paint, steady playmaking from Conley, and increased scoring from Reid and the guards.Memphis Grizzlies continues to deal with several injuries across the roster.OUT • Ja Morant (left elbow UCL issue) - Memphis is without its main playmaker. • Jaren Jackson Jr. (left quad contusion) - Ruled out after initially being listed as questionable. • Zach Edey (left ankle) - Out with a stress-related injury. • Santi Aldama (right knee) - Still unavailable. • Brandon Clarke (calf strain) - Remains sidelined. • John Konchar (neck contusion) - Out. • Scotty Pippen Jr. (left great toe surgery recovery) - Not cleared to return.QUESTIONABLE • Ty Jerome (calf strain) - Could add ball-handling depth if available.EXPECTED TO PLAY • GG Jackson • Vince Williams Jr. • Olivier-Maxence Prosper • Available guards and rotation playersWith several starters out, Memphis will rely on effort, rebounding, and perimeter shooting to stay competitive.Minnesota controlled the most recent game at FedExForum, using its depth and shooting to pull away.Minnesota has been one of the stronger offensive teams this season. The defense is anchored by Gobert, and the team benefits from transition scoring, size inside, and consistent perimeter shooting.Memphis has struggled defensively, especially with several frontcourt players unavailable. The team still plays with energy but has had difficulty maintaining consistency.Minnesota’s approach will depend heavily on the status of Edwards and Randle. If both sit, the offense becomes less dynamic and execution in the half court becomes more important. For Memphis, outside shooting and rebounding will matter. Strong performances from the available guards and wings could help keep the game close.Pace is another factor. Minnesota is likely to push the tempo and attack inside, while Memphis may try to slow the game and limit scoring runs.Minnesota has the edge on paper because of its record, roster depth, and recent form, but injuries add some uncertainty. Memphis is still without Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, Santi Aldama, Brandon Clarke, and others. If the Grizzlies want to stay competitive, they will need efficient scoring and strong defensive discipline from the players available. Any late injury news, especially involving Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle, could significantly shape how the game unfolds.
