Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a right ankle sprain suffered in Monday's 117-100 victory over the New York Knicks.
The team said McDaniels had an MRI on the ankle Tuesday that revealed a Grade 1 right lateral ankle sprain.
He will be re-evaluated in one week.
McDaniels was injured in the first quarter against the Knicks and didn't return. He's averaging 9.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists for a Minnesota team that leads the Western Conference with a 10-3 record.
McDaniels agreed to a five-year, $136 million contract extension with Minnesota ahead of the season.
