Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Pops for 15 to wrap up preseason
Rotowire
Dillingham scored 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt) while adding seven assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 preseason loss to the Nuggets.
While Denver trotted out its likely starting five for the regular season, Minnesota elected to rest all its key players, giving bench players like Dillingham a chance of making one final good impression on Minnesota's coaches. The 19-year-old guard flashed his offensive skills this preseason, but while he's a big part of the team's future, Dillingham likely won't have a huge role in the Timberwolves' backcourt to begin his NBA career.

Dillingham scored 21 points (9-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt) while adding four assists and a rebound in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's preseason win over the Lakers.
The 19-year-old guard got plenty of run in Minnesota's preseason opener, and he showed off the skills that made him the eighth overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Dillingham may not see much of the court early in his rookie season behind a veteran backcourt led by Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo, but if injuries hit, the Kentucky product could be asked to do more than provide some instant offense off the bench.
