Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) is regarded as questionable for Monday's clash with the Pelicans. He was limited to just four minutes last time out against Memphis and continues to deal with a right hip issue, which recently kept him off the court for two games. The Timberwolves have continued to win despite Edwards' health issues, so the league leaders likely won't want to rush him back. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Troy Brown Jr. are first in line to benefit from Edwards' absence.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is expected to undergo testing on Saturday. The 22-year-old missed two games because of a hip pointer before returning for Wednesday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 17 points in 37 minutes. However, he lasted only four minutes against the Grizzlies on Friday before aggravating the injury. At this rate, it appears Edwards could miss more games moving ahead, which would be a tough blow for the first-place Timberwolves. It will also be unfortunate for fantasy managers, considering the 2020 No. 1 overall pick has averaged 24.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.2 steals throughout the 2023-24 campaign. If Edwards misses time, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would presumably see a noticeable uptick in production, giving him value for those needing to fill a hole in their fantasy lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards was limited to only four minutes of action Friday versus Memphis after tweaking his previous hip injury. He recently missed two games with a right hip pointer problem. It was his second game back from the injury. Troy Brown Jr. logged a pair of starts in Edwards' absence and also replaced him in the starting unit in the second half on Friday. He had a great game with 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting. The same goes for Shake Milton, who also received some extra work and put up 17 points in 22 minutes off the bench. The two could get a larger role again on Monday versus New Orleans if Edwards can't play, although both have been far from consistent performers and could easily disappoint fantasy managers.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs and head coach Chris Finch said that he won't be restricted either. Edwards has been the leader of the team's offense as the Timberwolves currently sit at the top of the Western Conference. He's missed the last two games with a hip issue, so his return will be welcomed by the team and fantasy managers alike.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is "trending towards" playing on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs, and Minnesota will see how Edwards feels before making a decision. Edwards could be shaping up as a true game-time decision even after practicing Monday, with his status at Wednesday morning's shootaround the next chance we'll have to paint a clearer picture on his ability to suit up. Edwards sustained a right hip pointer in last Tuesday's game, forcing him to miss Minny's latest two contests. The 22-year-old All-Star is notching early-round fantasy figures, averaging 26.2 points, 5.0 assists, 2.5 threes, and 1.3 steals in 35.1 minutes over 17 games this year. Swingman Troy Brown Jr. has averaged 30.3 minutes covering two starts in Edwards' stead, while Karl-Anthony Towns has asserted himself as the Wolves' offensive centerpiece with two 20-shot showings in a row.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is day-to-day after practicing on Monday, according to Pierre Noujaim of Fox 9. Edwards "should be almost ready" for Wednesday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Edwards sustained a right hip pointer late in last Tuesday's game after taking a hard fall to the ground on a dunk attempt, forcing him to miss Minnesota's most recent two contests. Finch's words certainly give the 22-year-old All-Star a chance to return on Wednesday, and Edwards' ability to practice reinforces this notion. Edwards is posting early-round fantasy numbers, averaging 26.2 points, 5.0 assists, 2.5 threes, and 1.3 steals in 35.1 minutes over 17 games this year. Swingman Troy Brown Jr. has started both games in Edwards' stead (30.3 minutes per game), while Karl-Anthony Towns has taken over as the Wolves' offensive focal point with consecutive 20-shot efforts.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) isn't available for Saturday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. Edwards will now miss his second consecutive game because of a hip pointer, which he picked up on Tuesday night versus OKC. That said, Edwards is having the best season of his young career, so fantasy managers are hoping he'll be back on Wednesday night against the visiting Spurs. But in the meantime, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, fresh off a 20-point, seven-assist, two-block performance in 36 minutes, should remain in the starting lineup and continue to be a popular fantasy option.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) isn't expected to suit up on Saturday against Charlotte. The 22-year-old, who has averaged a career-high 26.2 points in 2023-24, appeared in 79 games last season. However, Edwards is now in danger of missing another one, although he's likely doing everything he can to get back on the floor. Assuming he's ruled out for a second-straight game, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, coming off a 20-point performance on Thursday versus Utah, would presumably remain in the starting lineup. Of course, Alexander-Walker would likely continue to see plenty of attention from DFS participants and managers looking for a streaming option in season-long setups.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) was not seen at morning shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Utah Jazz. Teammate Kyle Anderson said the Wolves are prepping as if Edwards won't be playing on Thursday. Edwards remains formally listed as doubtful on Minnesota's official injury report, but it's becoming increasingly apparent that he won't be active against the Jazz. The dynamic 22-year-old suffered a right hip pointer on the brunt of a scary fall following a dunk attempt in the third quarter of Tuesday's eventual 106-103 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he thankfully avoided a more significant injury. Edwards should be deemed day-to-day leading into Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. The aforementioned Kyle Anderson should see more run with Edwards likely out against Utah, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Mike Conley should dominate playmaking responsibilities.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Utah Jazz. Edwards sustained a right hip pointer when he took a scary fall to the floor following a dunk attempt during the third quarter of Tuesday's eventual 106-103 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. It makes Edwards likely to require an absence for the first time in 2023-24, and his next chance to return would arrive on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. This fortunately sounds like a minor issue that leaves Edwards as day-to-day. The 22-year-old former No. 1 overall pick is landing third-round value in 12-team category leagues this year, averaging 26.2 points, 5.0 assists, 2.5 threes, and 1.3 swipes in 35.1 minutes across 17 games. Kyle Anderson is a candidate for increased involvement with Edwards expected to be out on Thursday, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Mike Conley should take on heavy playmaking duties in this scenario.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (back) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Grizzlies. The 22-year-old is a late addition to the injury report, with the team indicating he developed upper back spasms. However, Edwards isn't known to miss time, so it would be surprising if he weren't in the lineup. With that said, if he can't suit up versus Memphis, Shake Milton, Kyle Anderson, and Troy Brown Jr. are the favorites to enter the starting lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards produced a game-high 31 points against a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia on Wednesday. He hit half of the team's 10 three-pointers and shot 11-for-22 overall as the Timberwolves dominated from start to finish, winning 112-99. Edwards added six rebounds, six assists, and two steals for a full fantasy line. The young Minnesota star has been a bit quiet as of late, but he certainly brought his A-game for Wednesday night. Edwards will be let loose against a below-average Sacramento defense next.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards (illness) has been upgraded from questionable to active and will play against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. Edwards was dealing with an illness, but it seems that it was not severe enough to keep him off of the court. The 22-year-old has taken a big leap so far this season as he's been the main source of the team's offense while contributing across almost all of the stat categories except for blocks. With their star player remaining in the lineup, he'll likely see his normal workload while Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to come off of the bench.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Warriors. The 22-year-old is under the weather. However, Edwards is one of the most durable players in the NBA, so it would be surprising if he didn't suit up against Golden State. That said, if he doesn't play, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 3.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in two starts this season, could see streaming interest from fantasy managers, even though he'd be a risky option in any format.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) didn't play in Thursday's preseason win over the Mavericks. The 22-year-old sprained his ankle at practice in Abu Dhabi during the week. Fortunately, the injury isn't considered severe, with head coach Chris Finch hoping the All-Star will suit up for the rematch on Saturday. Edwards, who hasn't played less than 72 games in a season since entering the league, was a top producer for Team USA during the FIBA World Cup. He averaged a career-high 24.6 points last season and is predicted to be even more productive for the Timberwolves in 2023-24, meaning fantasy managers could hear his name in the MVP conversation at some point throughout the season.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was the lone American named to the All-Tournament team for the FIBA World Cup. The rising star averaged 18.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game while clocking 26.0 minutes per contest. His overall field goal percentage wasn't bad as he finished at 47.5%, but his three-point shooting left a lot to be desired at 31.1%. Overall, it seemed to be a good experience for Edwards as he tried to lead a team as the go-to guy like he did for a lot of the Timberwolves season when Karl-Anthony Towns was out.

Team USA guard Anthony Edwards was the main driver of the offense in the US National Team's loss to Lithuania on Sunday. The Timberwolves star posted 35 points on 14-for-26 shooting overall and 5-for-13 from three while adding two assists, one rebound, three steals, and one block. Edwards tried to take over wherever he could after a disaster of a first quarter from the entire team. He was showing flashes of the way he played for Minnesota while Karl-Anthony Towns was out for most of the year.

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards put up a team-high 22 points in 19 minutes as Team USA demolished Jordan 110-62 at the FIBA World Cup Wednesday. After struggling for efficiency in the previous matchup against Greece, Edwards shot 8-for-16 from the field and hit three of his five attempts from deep. He was also one of the best rebounders in the game with eight boards, and Edwards wrapped up the easy day at the office with four assists. The Timberwolves star was named "the guy" by Team USA head coach Steve Kerr before the tournament started and Edwards has indeed led the charge for the Americans by scoring a team-high 16.3 points through three games.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards scored 13 points for Team USA in the win over Greece. While Edwards and Jalen Brunson tied for the most points out of the starting lineup, the former struggled shooting by going 4-for-11 from the field. That said, the 22-year-old is still as potent as ever. He averaged 24.6 points in 79 games for the Timberwolves in 2022-23, although many expect he'll be even more productive this year. USA will look to keep its undefeated streak alive against Jordan on Wednesday.

Team USA guard Anthony Edwards played relatively well during Saturday's FIBA win over New Zealand. The 22-year-old, who head coach Steve Kerr recently referred to as "the guy," scored 14 points, finishing behind only Paulo Banchero, who had a game-high 21 points. Edwards did have five turnovers and missed all of his three attempts from deep. However, things will likely improve once the Americans acclimate to international rules. Nonetheless, Edward is coming off a remarkable 2022-23 campaign, averaging a career-high 24.6 points. Although the 22-year-old benefitted without Karl-Anthony Towns on the floor for most of the season, there's no reason why he can't be even more productive during the 2023-24 campaign.
