When asked about his future Wednesday, Prince said he’s “not going to retire,” Kyle Ratke of Timberwolves.com reports.After spending time between three teams – Boston, Detroit and Memphis – last season, Prince’s career appeared to be winding down, but he signed with the Timberwolves in August and has appeared in 77 contests, making 44 starts and averaging 19.0 minutes per game. The 36-year-old only signed a one-year deal, so it’s unclear if the Timberwolves will be interested in bringing him back. Regardless, it looks as though Prince is prepared to test the free agency waters this summer.

Prince was held scoreless (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and grabbed a rebound in seven minutes during Tuesday’s 124-117 overtime victory against the Warriors.Prince has delivered a goose egg in the scoring column in three straight games and has seen his minutes count decrease in four consecutive contests. Shabazz Muhammad’s outstanding scoring night (35 points) likely had a little to do with Prince’s lack of usage Tuesday, but with the team intent on giving more playing time to younger players down the stretch, Prince probably won’t see his minutes climb much from here.

F Tayshaun Prince went scoreless in five minutes off the bench on Monday. He mssed his only field-goal attempt. He didn’t even get off the bench in the second half. It marked the sixth straight game that Prince has gone scoreless, and it is particularly troubling because the Timberwolves desperately need some production off the bench. The 14-year-veteran, who started 44 games earlier in the season, is now averaging just 3.0 points.

Prince did not play in Sunday’s loss to Dallas due to a coach’s decision.With Minnesota moving to giving younger players more minutes, we’d expect a decreased role for Prince the rest of the season. He’s still getting spot starts, but takes few shots as a defensive specialist no matter how much he plays.

Prince will start in Wednesday’s game against the Raptors, Jerry Zgoda of the Star Tribune reports.Prince has been in and out of the starting lineup this season, and he’ll be back in for Wednesday’s game. Look for Andrew Wiggins to move to the shooting guard position and for Zach LaVine to come off the bench. It’s unclear at this time if Prince will remain in the starting lineup for any games going forward.

Prince is probable to return Monday versus the Celtics after receiving six stitches due to a chin laceration.It sounds like Prince avoided anything serious here, and should return without any setbacks after injuring his chin.

Prince will miss Wednesday’s game against the Pistons for personal reasons.Prince was given permission by the Timberwolves to head to Detroit for former teammate Chauncey Billups’ jersey retirement ceremony. The veteran small forward has been starting for most of the season for the Timberwolves, but with averages of 3.3 points and two rebounds in 21.3 minutes have left him devoid of fantasy value. His absence will likely allow one of Zach LaVine or Shabazz Muhammad to slide into the starting five, but both players should benefit from added court time while Prince is out.
