Rob Dillingham, the Minnesota Timberwolves' rookie guard and No. 8 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, is expected to be sidelined for at least two more weeks due to a Grade 2 ankle sprain. This injury has kept him out of the last three games and has previously affected his playing time this season.

The Timberwolves confirmed Dillingham's condition following an MRI, which showed the severity of the sprain. He will be re-evaluated in one week to determine his recovery progress. So far this season, Dillingham has seen limited action, averaging 3.7 points and 1.7 assists in 15 games.
