Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels suffered a fractured hand during the club's regular season finale against the New Orleans Pelicans, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
McDaniels punched a wall on his way to the locker room at halftime and was promptly ruled out for the remainder of the contest.
McDaniels has been a key part of the T-Wolves' success, averaging career highs in points (12.2 per game) and 3-point percentage (39.9%) over 78 appearances this season. His 1.6% block percentage ranks in the 96th percentile among forwards, per Cleaning the Glass.
Minnesota could also be without Rudy Gobert for Tuesday's play-in tournament clash against the Los Angeles Lakers after he was involved in a mid-game altercation with teammate Kyle Anderson.
Anderson and fellow veteran Taurean Prince could both see extended minutes with McDaniels and Gobert potentially sidelined.
