Davis reportedly has ligament damage in his left hand after being hurt late against Utah, raising the likelihood of a longer absence.

His pace ranks among the fastest for active players, and he is now one of the few Timberwolves ever to cross 10,000 points.

Trae Young
January 2026
Reports say Trae Young is heading to Washington in a major trade, with CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert moving to Atlanta as both teams reshuffle early in 2026.
