Joan Beringer missed his second consecutive Summer League game Monday, held out of the Timberwolves‘ 111-84 loss to Portland with back tightness. The 19-year-old center opened Vegas play with 18 points and 12 rebounds against New Orleans before sitting Saturday’s loss to Denver with the same issue. Minnesota has not announced a timeline. With the frontcourt thinned by the Naz Reid and Julius Randle departures, Beringer is one of the few internal options at center — dynasty managers should track his status through the rest of Vegas play, though back tightness in July carries no designation beyond day-to-day caution.
