Anthony Edwards Active on Monday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) will play on Monday against the Denver Nuggets. His status for the game was up in the air after the team initially listed Edwards as questionable on the injury report. The Timberwolves star is managing a right knee injury and was also questionable for the series opener. Eventually, Edwards shed the questionable tag and logged 38 minutes in an 116-105 loss. He filled the stat sheet with 22 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks. However, Edwards finished just 7-for-19 from the field and missed seven of his nine three-point attempts. For the team to stay competitive in this matchup, Minnesota needs him to be more efficient.

Anthony Edwards Listed as Questionable for Game 2

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Monday's Game 2 against Denver due to ongoing right knee maintenance. He logged a team-high 38 minutes in Game 1, finishing with 22 points, two three-pointers, nine rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks, though his shooting efficiency lagged. If Edwards is limited, Julius Randle and Naz Reid should take on heavier scoring and usage loads, while Donte DiVincenzo and Ayo Dosunmu could see increased minutes and secondary ball-handling duties. Edwards remains a must-start if active, though the knee concern slightly caps his DFS ceiling.

Julius Randle Cleared for Playoffs

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (hand) isn't listed on the injury report before Saturday's Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets. A hand injury kept Randle sidelined for the last three regular-season games. During the regular season, Randle faced Denver four times and exceeded his averages. Despite being limited to 26.3 percent efficiency from behind the arc, Randle notched 24.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.0 steals against the Nuggets. With Anthony Edwards (knee) potentially out for Game 1, Minnesota could lean heavily on Randle in Saturday's game.

Ayo Dosunmu is Available for Saturday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's playoff contest against the Denver Nuggets. Dosunmu missed the regular season finale due to a calf issue, but he appears to be fine now. The Wolves are glad to have Dosunmu back for the beginning of this series. Over the last 10 games, Dosunmu is averaging 18.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. It's unclear if he'll start or come off the bench, but regardless, Dosunmu should play an important role for the Wolves during the postseason.

Anthony Edwards Questionable for Saturday's Action

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Saturday's Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets. Due to a knee issue, Edwards played in only three of the last 14 regular-season games, and it looks like he still hasn't fully recovered. Minnesota would be in serious trouble against the Nuggets if Edwards can't play. Mike Conley, Ayo Dosunmu, and Bones Hyland all benefited from Edwards' ongoing health issues late in the regular season and could now also get extra work during the playoffs.

Anthony Edwards is Resting During Regular-Season Finale

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) will take a seat ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Regardless of what happens, the Wolves are locked into the No. 6 seed heading into the postseason. With that being said, Minnesota is going to rest its starters, so there's no chance they can get injured before the postseason. Edwards will head to the bench due to right knee injury management. He'll finish the regular season averaging 28.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 61 games. Terrence Shannon Jr. and Jaylen Clark will likely play significant minutes with the Wolves resting most of the team. Shannon has scored over 50 points in the last two games, so he's the much better streaming choice between the two guards.

Julius Randle Misses Second Straight Game

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle (hand) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday night against the Houston Rockets. He is bothered by soreness in his right hand. Kyle Anderson replaced Randle in the starting unit on Wednesday against Orlando and is likely to keep his spot on Friday. The 32-year-old contributed in every area in Wednesday's loss and stood out defensively. Across 24 minutes, Anderson notched eight points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks.

Anthony Edwards Considered Questionable for Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has been dealing with a nagging knee injury since mid-March, sitting out 10 of Minnesota's last 12 games, including the last two. Mike Conley has started during Edwards' absence, but he dropped out of the rotation on Wednesday against Orlando when Jaden McDaniels returned from a knee injury. Ayo Dosunmu (calf) and Bones Hyland (hip) have benefited from Edwards' absence as well, but both are also questionable for Friday's action. Terrence Shannon Jr. erupted for a career-high 33 points on Wednesday and could get another chance to shine against Houston. Jaylen Clark will also have a more prominent role if Edwards, Dosunmu, and Hynes miss the game.

Rudy Gobert to Rest on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Gobert will miss his second straight game for rest purposes. The Wolves are playing it safe with the veteran center ahead of the postseason. His next chance to play will come during Sunday's regular-season finale against the New Orleans Pelicans. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Wolves hold out Gobert until the postseason. Naz Reid should take on a larger role once again with Gobert hitting the bench. His fantasy value will see a boost until Gobert is back in the mix.

Jaden McDaniels Slated to Suit Up Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (knee) will play on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. McDaniels is set to return after missing six consecutive contests due to left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise. Despite Anthony Edwards (knee), Julius Randle (hand), Ayo Dosunmu (rest), Mike Conley (rest) and Rudy Gobert (rest) all sidelined, the Timberwolves will likely remain cautious with McDaniels, keeping his minutes restricted tonight in Orlando.

Rudy Gobert Unavailable on Wednesday

According to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rest) won't play against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The 33-year-old big man will have the backend of a back-to-back set off to rest after closing with five points, 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 124-104 win over Indiana. Anthony Edwards (knee), Julius Randle (hand), Ayo Dosunmu (rest) and Mike Conley (rest) will also miss tonight's contest. Naz Reid and Joan Beringer are slated to have expanded frontcourt workloads this evening.

Anthony Edwards Remains on the Shelf Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) won't play on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. A week ago, Edwards returned from a knee injury, but he has played in only two of Minnesota's four games. The four-time All-Star wasn't himself in these games and is now back on the shelf with the same right knee issue. It's a concerning situation for the Timberwolves, who haven't secured a postseason spot yet. With Edwards unavailable, Mike Conley figures to get another start. Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland will also carry additional fantasy value.

Anthony Edwards Won't Play Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's bothered by a right knee issue and will sit out for the eighth time in 10 games. Mike Conley will likely remain in the starting lineup as Edwards' replacement. However, the veteran has been limited to 5.5 points, 4.0 assists, and 2.0 rebounds per game across his last four appearances as a member of the first unit. Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland also have more importance without Edwards.

Anthony Edwards Questionable for Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) is considered questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Edwards returned from a knee injury this week, appearing in two of three games, but he may now spend some more time on the sidelines. Since his return, Edwards has been dealing with some rust, averaging only 12.5 points on 40 percent efficiency from the field. Mike Conley has recently filled in for Edwards as a starter and may get another opportunity to do so on Sunday. But even in a starting role, the veteran hasn't produced much. Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland are the players to target in fantasy if Edwards misses Sunday's game.

Anthony Edwards Available Against 76ers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) will play on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Edwards returned from a knee issue at the start of the week, but he has been battling an illness and didn't play on Thursday night against Detroit. His absence against the Pistons means that Edwards isn't eligible for any postseason awards now because he won't be able to reach the 65-game minimum threshold. This may be a motivating factor for him in Friday's game. Mike Conley will relinquish his starting spot to Edwards, while Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland will also have smaller roles.

Anthony Edwards Out Again Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is unavailable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Edwards will sit out tonight despite returning after missing six games in Monday's win over the Mavs, when he recorded 17 points, two rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes. The 24-year-old's next opportunity to suit up comes Friday against the 76ers. Mike Conley, Bones Hyland, Ayo Dosunmu and Terrence Shannon Jr. should see extra minutes tonight, especially with Jaden McDaniels (knee) also sidelined.

Anthony Edwards Considered Questionable for Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Edwards was recently sidelined for six straight games due to right knee inflammation and is in danger of missing the first set of a back-to-back Thursday evening. If he's unable to suit up, Mike Conley, Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon Jr. will see heavier workloads during the contest.

Jaden McDaniels Considered Week-to-Week

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (knee) is week-to-week due to a left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise. He sat out a second consecutive contest on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. McDaniels has become a key contributor for the Timberwolves, averaging a career-high 14.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.1 steals in 2025-26. His absence should allow Ayo Dosunmu to stay in the starting lineup despite Anthony Edwards' return to the lineup. Kyle Anderson could also have a bigger role until Minnesota is back at full strength.

Anthony Edwards Set to Return Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is available for Monday's game against Dallas after missing six games with right knee inflammation. The 24-year-old averaged 29.0 points, 3.0 threes, 4.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks across his last five while logging 34.4 minutes, making him an automatic start during the fantasy finals. His return should reduce the streaming value of Mike Conley, Bones Hyland, Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon Jr., while Julius Randle may lose a bit of offensive burden. Edwards belongs in all active lineups given his top-tier usage and category coverage.

Jaden McDaniels Won't Play Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (knee) will miss a second straight game on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old had sat out only two games this season before a left knee issue took him out of the lineup this week. As a result, Terrence Shannon Jr. started on Saturday against Detroit, but his contributions were limited to eight points, three rebounds, and three assists. Jaylen Clark, who tallied nine points and four rebounds against the Pistons, also has a chance to play more until McDaniels returns.
