Ajo Dosunmu’s availability status with the Clippers

Although Dosunmu was not injured, he is still considered questionable due to the pending trade. However, the Timberwolves have not named their newest guard on the injury reportthus allowing him to make his debut Sunday against the Clippers.
Dosunmu has been with the team for a few days and was ready to go from the jump. He joins Minnesota in the midst of a career year, averaging 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting a career-high 45.1 percent from deep.
Even with his improved numbers, Dosunmu still believes he has another level to reach with the Timberwolves. He said he believes he never reached his full potential with the Bulls during his introductory press conference and sees himself as a better fit for Minnesota’s roster.
Dosunmu could finish the regular season in the starting lineup for the Timberwolves, but he will begin his new chapter from the bench. Expect him to soak up the minutes Chris Finch gave to Johnny Juzang and Jalen Clark in Minnesota’s final game on Friday, especially with Juzang back in the G League.
The The Timberwolves are also expected to re-add Mike Conley Jr. soon, but the 38-year-old currently remains a free agent. For now, Dosunmu looks like Minnesota’s best option at point guard and will make his debut against the Clippers.
