Impact Edwards led all Timberwolves players in scoring and assists while ending three rebounds short of the double-digit mark in an all-around performance.

Does it all in victory Edwards posted 32 points (13-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals in 40 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over Miami.

Impact Edwards led all players in Monday's game in scoring while leading the Timberwolves in steals and finishing two boards away from a double-double with a handful of assists in a balanced outing.

Edwards scores 32, Wolves rally from 17 down to beat Heat 112-108 and improve to 20-5

Anthony Edwards scored 32 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 18 and the Minnesota Timberwolves clamped down in the second half to beat the Miami Heat 112-108 on Monday night

Will play Monday Edwards (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Heat, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact Edwards tallied 37 points (14-23 FG), four assists, two rebounds and three steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over Indiana, but he continues to battle a lingering hip injury. Given his performance Saturday, it's safe to expect Edwards to have a full workload Monday, but fantasy managers should monitor the All-Star's status until he's completely removed from the injury report.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Monday Edwards is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.

Impact Edwards played 34 minutes during Saturday's win over Indiana, posting 37 points, four assists, two rebounds and three steals. However, before that game, he appeared in just three of Minnesota's previous six games, averaging 8.7 points on 18.9 percent from the field during that stretch. It looks like Edwards is turning a corner with the hip issue, but fantasy managers should still monitor his status closely.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bounces back against Indiana Edwards logged 37 points (14-23 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 win over Indiana.

Impact Edwards was coming off one of the worst shooting performances of his career after posting nine points (3-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT) across 35 minutes in a win over the Mavericks, but he bounced back admirably in this one and notched his second-best scoring output of the campaign. Edwards can be a dominant presence on offense if he's at his best, and it seems the nine-point outing against Dallas was nothing more than a step in the wrong direction for one of the best scorers in the league. Edwards is averaging 22.0 points per game over his last 10 contests.

Available for Saturday Edwards (hip) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact It's no secret that Edwards has been struggling with his hip injury, and he had a rough showing Thursday in which he scored nine points on 3-for-19 shooting. There's no word of any restrictions, but fantasy managers will be hoping he can put this issue behind him this weekend.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Thursday Edwards (hip) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards' hip has been giving him all sorts of issues, sidelining him for three of Minnesota's past five games. Presumably, the Timberwolves will watch his minutes relatively closely Thursday evening. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is likely to lose some fantasy appeal with Edwards back in action.

DECEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable Edwards (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Over the last five games, Edwards has made two appearances and played just 41 minutes while battling a right hip contusion. He's considered day-to-day and returned to practice Wednesday, so he's trending in the right direction. However, the Timberwolves will presumably be cautious. If Edwards is sidelined again, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Kyle Anderson and Troy Brown would be candidates for increased roles, but the offense would likely run through Karl-Anthony Towns and Mike Conley.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Practices, considered day-to-day Edwards (hip) practiced Wednesday and is considered day-to-day, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact Edwards missed back-to-back games due to a hip injury at the end of November and the beginning of December. He returned Dec. 6 versus the Spurs, posting 17 points, seven rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes. However, he left the ensuing game after just four minutes and was sidelined for the following contest. The Timberwolves have two more games in Week 8, Thursday in Dallas and Saturday versus Indiana, respectively. Edwards' official status for Thursday's matchup should surface Wednesday night.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Edwards (hip) will not play Monday against New Orleans, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact Edwards will be sidelined with a right hip pointer, which forced him to exit Friday's contest after just four minutes of action. A nagging issue since the end of November, Edwards will have two full days to rest his hip prior to Thursday's contest against Dallas, which marks his next opportunity to take the court. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kyle Anderson are candidates to step up as ballhandlers in his stead

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Edwards (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Edwards left Friday's win over Memphis after just four minutes. It was his second matchup back following a two-game absence due to a right hip injury, so Minnesota will presumably be cautious to avoid another potential setback. Jaden McDaniels (ankle) and Jordan McLaughlin (knee) are also questionable, so the Timberwolves may be without multiple key contributors again.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will not return Friday Edwards will not return to Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Edwards left Friday's game after just four minutes of action, as he tweaked his troublesome hip that sidelined him for two games recently. Troy Brown started the second half in Edwards' place, and Shake Milton got some extra run with the second unit. Consider Edwards as questionable for Monday against the Pelicans.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to return Edwards is questionable to return to Friday's game against Memphis with a right hip pointer.

Impact This is the same hip that forced Edwards to miss two games recently, so this is obviously a big concern. Edwards played just four minutes before leaving the game and didn't look comfortable out there. If he's unable to return, we're likely to see more of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Troy Brown and Shake Milton.

DECEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Balanced outing in return Edwards contributed 17 points (4-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 102-94 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Edwards returned to the Wolves lineup after missing the last two games with a hip injury, finishing second on the team in scoring while dishing out a team-leading assist total. Edwards has tallied at 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in 10 games this season, scoring in double figures in every contest thus far.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Edwards (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards missed Minnesota's last two games, but he fully participated in practice Monday and has been given the green light to return to action against San Antonio. Over his five appearances prior to his absence, he averaged 26.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 35.4 minutes per game. Coach Chris Finch said Edwards won't have a minutes restriction during his first game back.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Edwards (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Spurs.

Impact Edwards has missed back-to-back games but was a full participant in Monday's practice, prompting coach Chris Finch to say Tuesday that Edwards was "trending towards" playing. It appears the shooting guard is closer to probable at this point, but he'll likely still be a game-time decision.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Wednesday Edwards (hip) is trending towards playing in Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards returned to full practice Monday and got in some more work Tuesday. Coach Chris Finch said the team will see how he feels Wednesday before making a final decision, but this sounds very promising. If Edwards does get the green light, we'll see less of Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Troy Brown.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes through practice Edwards (hip) practiced on Monday, Pierre Noujaim of Fox 9 reports.

Impact Despite going through practice, Edwards is day-to-day according to coach Chris Finch and should be considered questionable for Wednesday against the Spurs. Edwards has missed the past two games for Minnesota, but he's trending in the right direction. In his absence, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Troy Brown have been getting extended run.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out The Timberwolves have officially ruled Edwards (hip) out for Saturday's game in Charlotte, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Edwards was deemed doubtful heading into the day. In his absence, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Shake Milton and Troy Brown are all candidates to see increased workloads. Edwards' next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Spurs.
