Timberwolves' Edwards leaves game with sprained right ankle
Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Anthony Edwards left Friday’s game against the Chicago Bulls because of a sprained right ankleMARCH 18, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Anthony Edwards - 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.

Anthony Edwards - 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.

Chicago Bulls have improved defensively since a 'wake-up call' of allowing 150 points to the Minnesota Timberwolves The Chicago Bulls were challenged on defense after allowing 150 points to the Minnesota Timberwolves in December, resulting in an improved p...

Austin Rivers - Available for Friday Rivers (back) is available for Friday against the Bulls.
Impact Rivers was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update and missed the past three games for Minnesota. He was playing a very minor role before the injury, so he'll have to make the most of his limited minutes.
MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Ready to go Friday Reid (calf) is available for Friday's game against Chicago.
Impact Reid will play in his second straight contest despite carrying a questionable tag. Rudy Gobert (ankle) has also been cleared to play, meaning Reid is likely looking at minutes in the teens against the Bulls.
MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Cleared to play Friday Gobert (ankle) has been cleared for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Gobert has been no stranger to questionable tags in recent weeks, but he'll play in his eighth straight contest Friday night. With Minnesota playing again Saturday against the Raptors, it's possible that a maintenance day could be on the table.
MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Nowell - Still out Friday Nowell (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Nowell continues to deal with left knee tendinopathy and will be held out for a ninth consecutive game. He doesn't yet have a timetable to return, but his next chance to do so will be Saturday against Toronto.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Rivers - Iffy Friday Rivers (back) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Rivers is in danger of missing his fourth straight game Friday due to back spasms. If he's ruled out, his next chance to suit up will be Saturday's matchup with Toronto.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Questionable Friday Reid (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against Chicago.
Impact Reid returned from a one-game absence Wednesday against the Celtics, but he's still dealing with a sore left calf ahead of Friday's matchup. Rudy Gobert (ankle) is also questionable, so if Reid is cleared to play, his role will likely depend on whether Gobert is available.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Questionable against Chicago Gobert is questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact Gobert may miss his first game since Feb. 26 on Friday. Naz Reid (calf) and Nathan Knight would be candidates to see extended minutes if Gobert is ruled out.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Strong showing off bench in return Reid (calf) finished Wednesday's 104-102 loss to the Celtics with 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.
Impact Back in action after a one-game absence, Reid slotted back into his familiar role as the Timberwolves' backup center and finished with a bench-leading scoring total. He didn't overlap with Rudy Gobert (29 minutes) at any point during the contest, however, and unless Gobert misses time due to injury or succumbs to foul trouble on a given night, Reid looks like he may struggle to push past 20 minutes on any sort of regular basis.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Efficient from field in loss Gobert ended Wednesday's 104-102 loss to Boston with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes.
Impact Gobert missed just two shots from the field in Wednesday's loss, but there's no question the Timberwolves expect -- and need -- more out of him. He's failed to repeat the same numbers he had in past seasons with the Jazz, and the towering Frenchman has taken a step back in most of the major categories this season. He's averaging 16.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in six March outings.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Anderson - Stuffs stat sheet once again Anderson ended with 15 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and two blocks across 36 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 104-102 loss to the...
Impact Anderson was coming off a triple-double in Monday's win over the Hawks. Although he couldn't quite repeat that feat, he once again posted a line demonstrating he's worthy of rostering in nearly every fantasy league. He's averaging 12.8 points, 7.7 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, 1.0 steals and 0.8 three-pointers per game across six March appearances while shooting 60.4 percent from the field.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - 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.
