139 - 109
Final
Beringer produced four points (2-3 FG), two rebounds, one block and one steal over eight minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The 2025 17th overall pick spent the postseason as a deep reserve behind Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid, but Beringer's regular-season finale provided a massive glimpse into his future potential. Filling in for a resting Gobert on April 12, Beringer exploded for 24 points, 13 rebounds and a staggering seven blocks in 31 minutes against New Orleans. While he averaged just 3.9 points across 40 regular-season appearances as a rookie, his combination of interior scoring and elite rim protection suggests he is ready for a consistent rotation role. With rumors swirling that the Timberwolves may look to move Gobert's $36.5 million salary this offseason to reshape the roster around Anthony Edwards, Beringer would be the primary beneficiary of such a trade. If Gobert is moved, Beringer would likely compete for significant minutes, offering a much higher offensive ceiling than the incumbent starter.
