Impact Edwards finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer in the loss behind Karl-Anthony Towns (22 points). The sophomore forward was sharp from beyond the arc (3-for-5) but made only two of eight shots from two-point range. Edwards is averaging 23.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 4.7 three-pointers over his past three games.

Strikes for 25 against Bucks Edwards closed Saturday's 138-119 win over the Bucks with 25 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals across 33 minutes.

Impact Without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) on the court for Milwaukee, Edwards had little trouble getting to his offense as he scored at least 25 points for the third time in six games since returning from a four-game absence due to a knee issue of his own. Over that six-game stretch, Edwards is averaging 18.8 points, 4.3 boards, 4.0 assists, 3.5 threes and 2.0 steals.

Active, starting Saturday Edwards (knee) is available and will start Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Edwards is good to go for Saturday's matchup with the Bucks and should be available for his usual workload despite the minor knee issue. He's averaging 17.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 31.4 minutes per contest over the last five games.

Towns, Timberwolves pull away to beat reeling Lakers 124-104

Good to go Wednesday Edwards (knee) will play Wednesday against the Lakers.

Impact As expected, Edwards is available for Wednesday's tilt with the Lakers despite landing on the injury report with left knee soreness. The 20-year-old is averaging 21.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals across 34.4 minutes per game this season.

MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee soreness Edwards is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Lakers due to left patella tendinopathy.

Impact Edwards continues to battle knee soreness, but he's still expected to suit up Wednesday. Across his last four contests, the second-year wing has averaged 15.3 points, 4.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 31.3 minutes per game.

Meager production in win Edwards logged five points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 149-139 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Edwards missed the first week of March due to a knee injury, but despite being listed on the injury report, he's been able to suit up for the past four games. He had scored in double figures in each of the previous three contests, but the second-year wing took a backseat to Karl Anthony-Towns on Monday. As for now, it seems like the poor production was simply a factor of deferring to the hot hand and has nothing to do with the lingering knee issue, but fantasy managers are still implored to monitor his status closely to ensure that's the case.

Absent from injury report Edwards (knee) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against San Antonio, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact Edwards continues to be listed on the team's injury report with a knee injury that forced him to miss the first week of March, but he'll be available to play in his fourth straight matchup. He's averaging 17.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists over his last five games (33.0 minutes).

MARCH 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed probable Monday Edwards (knee) is listed as probable Monday against the Spurs.

Impact Edwards has been a mainstay on the injury report over the last couple of weeks, though Saturday's win over the Heat marked his third straight start after missing four games to begin March. The probable tag indicates that Edwards should be available for his full workload Monday.

Logs diverse stat line Edwards registered 15 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 win over the Heat.

Impact Edwards contributed in every category despite holding an injury tag prior to Saturday's game. He logged 36 minutes and showed no ill effects from the knee-related injury he has dealt with over the past week. Barring any late-breaking news, he should be good to go Monday against the Spurs.

Good to go Saturday Edwards (kneecap) is starting Saturday's game against the Heat.

Impact As expected, Edwards will start despite dealing with left patella tendinopathy. In his last outing, he saw a full complement of minutes (34) and posted 25 points, five assists, three rebounds and one steal.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to suit up Saturday The Timberwolves list Edwards as probable for Saturday's game against the Heat with left patella tendinopathy.

Impact The same injury recently kept Edwards sidelined for four consecutive contests, but he's started in both of the Timberwolves' last two games, including Friday's 118-110 loss to the Magic. Edwards played 34 minutes in that contest and submitted one of his best performances in weeks (25 points, five assists, three rebounds, one steal), and with the Timberwolves providing no reports indicating that he suffered a setback in that contest, his appearance on the injury report is likely just a matter of extra caution ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. Edwards should suit up Saturday, though the Timberwolves could look to not overextend him.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ends rough stretch of offense Edwards posted 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes Friday in the Timberwolves' 118-110 loss to the Magic.

Impact Edwards had been trending down for the past three weeks, missing four games along the way due to left patella tendinopathy while averaging only 11.3 points on 32.9 percent shooting from the field in the six games he played over that spell. The second-year wing finally broke through Friday, however, putting up his most points since Feb. 13, and doing so while turning in palatable percentages from the field, free-throw line and three-point land. Minnesota could look to rest or limit Edwards in the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday in Miami, but his strong outing Friday and heavy minutes to go along with it should restore the faith of his fantasy managers.

Cleared to play Edwards (knee) will play Friday against the Magic, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.

Impact Edwards will make a second straight appearance coming off a knee injury. He saw just 25 minutes in his return during a 132-102 blowout of the Thunder, where he posted 16 points, three assists, two steals, one rebound and one block. Friday's game doesn't project to be too competitive, either, but it seems possible, if not likely, that Edwards will see more minutes.
