Karl-Anthony Towns - Questionable for finale Towns (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Impact Towns returned to action Friday against the Hawks, his first game since March 4. He posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one block across 28 minutes, but now the Timberwolves are considering a maintenance day to make sure he's fresh for the postseason.

Anthony Edwards - Questionable to play Sunday Edwards is questionable to play Sunday against the Suns due to an illness.
Impact Edwards is having a fair share of struggles -- according to his standards -- of late, and even though he's averaging 23.8 points per game over his last 10 games, he's also shooting just 43.3 percent from the field in that span. The Timberwolves are in a three-way tie with the Thunder and Nuggets for the top seed in the Western Conference, so chances are Edwards will end up being available either way to face the Suns.

Timberwolves ready to own 'championship or bust' motto in NBA playoffs Karl-Anthony Towns said it himself, almost two years ago, and now this woebegone franchise finally looks ready for a deep playoff run.
APRIL 13 • STARTRIBUNE.COM
Anthony Edwards - Poor shooting display Friday Edwards had 14 points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 109-106 win over the Hawks.
Impact The shooting woes have become a persistent issue with Edwards over the last few weeks, and while the star guard remains productive, his numbers have plummeted of late, which is not a good sign for a Timberwolves team looking to make a deep playoff run. Over his last 10 games, Edwards is averaging 23.8 points per game while shooting just 43.3 percent from the field, a figure that is nearly three ticks lower than his regular-season mark.
APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Conley - Delivers double-double Friday Conley contributed 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Friday's 109-106 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Conley has been doing a good job as the Timberwolves' main playmaker out of the backcourt, and while his usage rate could decrease now that Karl-Anthony Towns is back in the mix, he remains a solid contributor, particularly in the assists category. Conley has scored in double digits in seven of his last 1o games, averaging 13.8 points and 5.9 assists per game in that span.
APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Massive output in Friday's win Gobert posted 25 points (10-10 FG, 5-8 FT), 19 rebounds, five blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 109-106 win over the Hawks.
Impact The Timberwolves needed Gobert to step his game up Friday, and the Frenchman delivered with an impressive stat line on both ends of the court, leading Minnesota in scoring and also recording elite defensive numbers. Gobert has 10 double-doubles over his last 11 appearances, including four in a row, while registering multiple blocks seven times in that stretch.
APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE
Karl-Anthony Towns - Shines as facilitator in return Towns (knee) posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one block across 28 minutes Friday in the Timberwolves' 109-106 win over the Hawks.
Impact Towns made his return to the lineup for the first time since March 4 after a five-plus-week recovery from surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee. The Timberwolves didn't announce heading into Friday's game that Towns would be on a specific minutes restriction, but he ended up seeing more playing time than some might have expected in his return from a major injury. Though Towns' shooting was off the mark in his return, his eight assists matched his season high. The Timberwolves are currently tied with the Thunder and Nuggets atop the Western Conference standings, so expect Towns to take on more minutes in Sunday's regular-season finale with the Suns while Minnesota remains in a battle for the No. 1 seed.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Set to return against Atlanta Towns (knee) announced Friday that he will play in Friday's game versus the Hawks.
Impact Towns will return to action Friday after missing Minnesota's last 18 games with a left knee injury. While the star big man should reclaim his starting spot from Naz Reid, it wouldn't be surprising for Towns to operate on a minutes restriction against Atlanta.

Anthony Edwards - Dealing with illness Edwards is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to an illness.
