ANTHONY EDWARDS NEWS

Officially questionable Wednesday Edwards (ankle) holds a questionable designation for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.

Impact It was reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic earlier in the day Tuesday that the team is optimistic Edwards will return from a two-game absence Wednesday, so his status may lead slightly on the probable side of questionable. Either way, it will be worth monitoring how his status evolves over the next 24 hours. The Timberwolves are on the verge of getting superstar Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) back, as well, though that could theoretically downgrade Edwards' usage a bit.

Could play Wednesday The Timberwolves have optimism that Edwards (ankle) will be available to play Wednesday against the Hawks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards has missed Minnesota's last two games with a right ankle sprain, but he shed his walking boot over the weekend after initially suffering the injury Friday and already seems to be closing in on a return now that his swelling has reportedly subsided considerably. Before signing off on Edwards' return to the lineup against the Hawks, the Timberwolves will likely see what he can do in practice Tuesday and/or in shootaround Wednesday morning. In addition to Edwards, the Timberwolves could get Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) back Wednesday from a nearly four-month absence, as the three-time All-Star big man recently resumed 5-on-5 work and looks to be rapidly closing in on a return to the lineup.

Out Monday Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game in New York, as expected.

Impact The good news is that the swelling in Edwards' sprained right ankle has already gone down significantly, and per Shams Charania of The Athletic, there's "optimism" that Edwards will be able to return for Wednesday's game versus Atlanta. As for Monday, expect Taurean Prince to earn another start with Jaden McDaniels and Mike Conley doing the heavy lifting on offense.

Doubtful Monday Edwards (ankle) is unlikely to play Monday against the Knicks, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact When Timberwolves' head coach Chris Finch was asked of Edwards' status ahead of Monday's game, Finch responded, "I wouldn't imagine he's in," so it appears the AntMan will be spending his second straight game watching from the sidelines. If that's the case, Taurean Prince could be headed for another start with Jaden McDaniels getting a bump in usage. Stay tuned.

Questionable Monday Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Knicks, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.

Impact Edwards missed Saturday's game due to the ankle issue, which resulted in Taurean Prince getting a spot start and Jaden McDaniels taking a more proactive role on offense. Edwards will test his ankle at shootaround, but don't be surprised if he winds up being a game-time call ahead of Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tip.

Out of boot, day-to-day Edwards (ankle) is no longer in a walking boot and is considered day-to-day, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards isn't out of the woods yet, but this is certainly encouraging news after the third-year forward left Friday's loss to Chicago in a lot of pain. His status for Monday's matchup in New York won't be known until Minnesota releases its next injury report, which should drop sometime Sunday afternoon. If he's still sidelined for that matchup, he'll have two more chances -- Wednesday versus Atlanta and Sunday against Golden State -- to suit up next week.

Impact A sprained right ankle suffered during Friday's loss to the Bulls will force Edwards to miss his first game of the season Saturday, and he may miss time beyond the weekend, given he's still in a boot. For the duration of the guard's absence, Austin Rivers (back), Jaylen Nowell (knee) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are candidates to see expanded roles. Mike Conley and Kyle Anderson should take on extra playmaking responsibilities as well.

Listed questionable Saturday Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Impact Edwards exited Friday's game against the Bulls after spraining his ankle and returned to the bench in a walking boot. He pops up as questionable on the injury report, which is an encouraging sign for fantasy managers who were worried about a significant injury. However, seeing him suit up Saturday would be a bit surprising. If he does sit, Austin Rivers (back) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could see expanded roles while Matt Ryan could crack the rotation.

In walking boot Edwards was spotted wearing a walking boot on the bench Friday after exiting the game versus the Bulls with a right ankle sprain, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.

Impact Edwards sustained a sprained right ankle Friday after playing just eight minutes and returned to the team's bench in a protective boot. Although he hasn't been given a designation for Saturday's matchup against Toronto at this juncture, it feels unlikely the All-Star two-guard will suit up. If that's the case, Austin Rivers and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely see extended run.

Will not return Friday Edwards (right ankle sprain) will not return Friday against the Bulls.

Impact Minnesota previously deemed Edwards as questionable to return, but Edwards was in a lot of pain, so it would have been surprising to see him carry on. Taurean Prince started the second half in Edwards' place, and the Wolves will need guys like Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Austin Rivers to step up.

Questionable to return Friday Edwards is questionable to return to Friday's game versus the Bulls due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Edwards recorded eight points and one assist in eight minutes before exiting Friday's game early. Austin Rivers and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are candidates to see extended minutes if Edwards is unable to return.

Extends impressive streak Edwards registered 28 points (10-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 104-102 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Edwards couldn't continue his streak of 30-point performances Wednesday, but he has scored 25-plus points in five outings in a row while supplying solid numbers in other categories. He's been one of the most productive players in the Western Conference in recent weeks. Edwards is averaging 28.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game in six March outings while operating as Minnesota's go-to player on offense.
