Shannon chipped in 24 points (9-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 35 minutes during Minnesota's 110-98 victory over the Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference playoffs. This was Shannon's third start of the season, replacing Ayo Dosunmu, who was scratched late due to a calf injury. Shannon demonstrated his value as a difference-maker, performing well alongside Jaden McDaniels. Minnesota will now advance to face San Antonio in the second round of the playoffs. The availability of both Dosunmu and Anthony Edwards (knee injury) will influence whether Shannon continues to play a significant role in the team's lineup.
