Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Ready for training camp
Rotowire
Clark (undisclosed) said Monday that he has been ramping up his activity ahead of training camp and is expected to be a full participant this week, Andrew Dukowitz of Zone Coverage reports.
Clark missed the entire 2023-24 season working his way back from a torn Achilles. He played in the Las Vegas Summer League but battled an undisclosed injury towards the end of it. The No. 53 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Clark will need a strong training camp to make a case for a rotation spot.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Still out indefinitely
Rotowire
Clark (Achilles) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets and remains sidelined indefinitely.
Clark, a rookie second-round pick, has yet to play this season while recovering from Achilles surgery he underwent during his final collegiate season at UCLA in 2022-23. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain out for the entire campaign, but he can be considered week-to-week, barring a return to practice.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Remains out indefinitely
Rotowire
Clark (Achilles) is out for Sunday's game against the Clippers and remains out indefinitely.
During his final collegiate season at UCLA in 2022-23, Clark underwent surgery last March to repair a ruptured right Achilles' tendon. The Timberwolves thought enough of Clark's defensive potential to select him in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, even with the knowledge that he would miss most, if not all, of his rookie season. Updates on Clark's rehab have been sparse, so he can be considered week-to-week.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Likely to miss start of season
Rotowire
The Timberwolves are preparing for Clark (Achilles) to miss at least the first half of the 2023-24 season, Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Clark suffered a right Achilles' tendon tear in March and later underwent surgery, but the major injury didn't deter the Timberwolves from selecting him in the second round in the 2023 NBA Draft and subsequently signing him to a two-way deal. Because he'll likely be sidelined for the entire 2023 portion of the Timberwolves' schedule and quite possibly beyond that, Clark is unlikely to exceed the two-way player limit of 50 active games with the NBA team during his rookie season. With that in mind, Clark will presumably remain on a two-way deal throughout the upcoming season, but he could be upgraded to a standard NBA deal ahead of the 2024-25 season if he shows well in the G League and/or with the Timberwolves in the second half of the upcoming campaign.
