Anthony Edwards Remains Out on Sunday Evening

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) won't play on Sunday against Sacramento. Edwards continues to battle foot soreness and will now miss his second-straight game. Interestingly enough, he'll also miss his sixth game of the 2025 campaign, tying his mark from his previous two seasons combined. The Timberwolves won't be on the court again until Wednesday's matchup versus the Memphis Grizzlies, so fantasy managers will be anxiously awaiting an update. Without him, Bones Hyland (knee), who is available, could work his way back into the starting lineup, although Naz Reid, Julius Randle, Rudy Gobert, and Donte DiVincenzo should split most of the surplus shot attempts caused by Edwards' absence.

Bones Hyland Exits Early With Knee Contusion

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Bones Hyland (knee) exited Friday against Golden State in the first quarter and is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Sacramento after logging three points and two assists in five minutes. Hyland has been a low-minute specialist, averaging 4.2 points in 7.9 minutes over his last five, but his absence can still loosen the bench-guard rotation. Terrence Shannon Jr. has the best path to extra volume, Jaylen Clark can supply steals, and Rob Dillingham is a deep-league assists swing if his run climbs.

Anthony Edwards Sidelined on Friday Evening

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) won't play on Friday versus Golden State. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick had 40 points in Monday's loss to the Phoenix Suns. He'll now miss his fifth game of the 2025 campaign, which is almost the number of contests he was sidelined in the previous two seasons combined. With Mike Conley (Achilles) also ruled out, Donte DiVincenzo, Julius Randle, and Jaden McDaniels are nearly locks to surpass their usual fantasy expectations. The same can be said for Naz Reid. Bones Hyland, finishing with 14 points against Phoenix, can be utilized for streaming purposes while gaining attention as a high-upside value option for DFS participants, especially if he enters the starting lineup. Edwards next opportunity to get back on the floor will be on Sunday versus the Sacramento Kings.

Mike Conley Unavailable Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (Achilles) won't play on Friday against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran floor general is bothered by right Achilles tendinopathy. Conley has been limited to 19.1 minutes per game this season, so he won't be a big miss. However, Bones Hyland and Rob Dillingham could get a slight boost in playing time, increasing their fantasy prospects. The two may also benefit from the absence of Anthony Edwards (foot), who is listed as questionable for Friday's game. Matchups against Golden State have been favorable for point guards, as the Warriors allow the 12th-most fantasy points in the league to the position.

Anthony Edwards Iffy to Face Warriors

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (foot) is considered questionable for Friday's fascinating matchup against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. On Monday night, Edwards dropped 40 points on the Phoenix Suns, but he is now experiencing soreness in his right foot. Mike Conley (Achilles) has been officially ruled out for Friday, meaning Minnesota will be lacking playmakers if Edwards also has to sit. Players like Bones Hyland and Rob Dillingham will be asked to step up. At the same time, Edwards' absence would give additional offensive touches to Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels, and Donte DiVincenzo.

Anthony Edwards Set to Suit Up Monday

Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports that Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) will play against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Edwards was considered questionable ahead of Monday's matchup due to an illness. However, the 24-year-old star guard is feeling well enough to take the court this evening. Edwards has logged just 26 points in his last two contests after finishing with 44 points across 47 minutes in a 149-142 win over the Pelicans on December 2.

Jaden McDaniels Cleared to Face Phoenix

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (wrist) will play on Friday versus the Suns. He's had an exceptional season, averaging a career-high 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steals while shooting an impressive 52.1% from deep. Fortunately, his absence was short-lived. All things considered, McDaniels can automatically be plugged back into all fantasy lineups, with Mike Conley in line to return to the bench.

Jaden McDaniels Could Miss Another Game on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (wrist) may only need to miss one game after picking up a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's dealing with a sprained wrist that he suffered on Monday in their win over the Dallas Mavericks. The 25-year-old doesn't miss games very often, so he has a real chance to return. If he is forced to miss one more game, however, Mike Conley would likely remain in the starting five. In their last game against the Washington Wizards, Conley registered 10 points, six assists, one rebound, and one steal across 27 minutes. He'd be the best streaming option, especially for guard stats in category leagues.

Mike Conley Joins Starting Unit Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley will make his fifth start of the season in Wednesday's clash against the Washington Wizards. He will fill in for Jaden McDaniels (wrist), who has landed on the shelf after making an impressive 158 consecutive appearances. In his previous starts this campaign, Conley has averaged 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.3 steals. While these aren't comparable to the numbers the 19-year veteran posted during his heyday, Conley's productivity has significantly improved when he has run with the starters. Wednesday's game is also a good fantasy matchup for him, as Washington owns the worst defensive record in the league against point guards this season and gives up the fifth-most assists to the position.

Jaden McDaniels Out Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (wrist) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. McDaniels will miss his first game of the season due to a sprained left wrist. Jaylen Clark will likely see increased playing time with McDaniels sidelined, and the Timberwolves' frontcourt will rely on Naz Reid to take on extra minutes. Reid is coming off a double-double against the Mavs on Monday, when he registered a season-high 22 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 23 minutes.

Jaden McDaniels Uncertain for Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (wrist) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. He might be sidelined for the first time this season after spraining his left wrist. While McDaniels is mainly known for his defensive abilities, he has taken a big leap offensively this season, averaging 17.5 points per game. He is also one of Minnesota's better rebounders, averaging 4.6 boards. Jaylen Clark will likely see increased playing time if McDaniels isn't available on Wednesday night, although the Timberwolves might also choose to go with a bigger lineup and have Naz Reid on the court more often.

Terrence Shannon Jr. Ruled Out Friday vs. Kings

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Terrence Shannon Jr. (foot) will remain out on Friday, marking a fifth straight absence. The second-year forward has had minimal fantasy impact so far, averaging 3.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 16.4 minutes on 32.1% shooting with 36.4% from deep and 71.4% at the line. His continued absence keeps Minnesota's rotation status quo, with Anthony Edwards carrying a heavy load and Donte DiVincenzo locked into starter minutes. In deeper formats, Mike Conley and Jaylen Clark are the only mild beneficiaries for assists or defensive stats, but both remain fringe plays.

Anthony Edwards Available for Friday's NBA Cup Game

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hamstring) has been upgraded from questionable to available on the team's official injury report. The superstar wing returned to the court from a hamstring strain on Wednesday night and didn't turn in one of his best performances. He finished with 15 points (5-13 FG), five assists, two rebounds, two steals, and three turnovers in a 114-137 blowout loss. The good thing is that it seems as though there weren't any health setbacks in that game, so he'll be ready to suit up for the team's pursuit of the NBA Cup.

Terrence Shannon Jr. Questionable With Left Foot Soreness

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Terrence Shannon Jr. (left foot soreness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Now in his second NBA season, Shannon has carved out a limited bench role, averaging 16.4 minutes per game with a 14.0 percent usage rate. He's shown solid athleticism and defensive effort when called upon, though his fantasy value remains minimal for now. If Shannon is unable to go, expect veteran guard Mike Conley and Jaylen Clark to see extra minutes in the rotation. Managers in deeper fantasy leagues should continue to monitor Shannon's status, as his ability to contribute across multiple categories could make him a streaming option if his role expands.

Anthony Edwards Iffy for Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Minnesota's star man returned from a four-game absence on Wednesday against the New York Knicks, but he may land back on the shelf on Friday night due to a hamstring injury he sustained a couple of weeks ago. On Wednesday, Edwards logged 29 minutes of action, finishing with 15 points, two rebounds, five assists, and two steals. He had his worst shooting performance of the season with a 5-for-13 effort. Mike Conley gave up his starting spot against the Knicks, but he may now return to the first unit if Edwards has to sit out another game.

Anthony Edwards Back in Action on Wednesday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hamstring) will play on Wednesday night versus the Knicks. He missed the last four games because of a hamstring injury. Fortunately, the 24-year-old is one of the most durable players in the National Basketball Association, so he didn't need to stay on the shelf for too long. Edwards won't have a minutes restriction, which is great news. However, his presence should mean few scoring opportunities for Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle, and Donte DiVincenzo. Mike Conley, who had 25 points versus Brooklyn on Monday night, will presumably head back to the bench, significantly lowering his fantasy ceiling.

Anthony Edwards Probable for Wednesday's Matchup With Knicks

Jack Borman of Locked On Timberwolves reports that Shams Charania of ESPN said on NBA Today that Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Edwards has missed four consecutive games with a strained right hamstring but was a full participant in Wednesday's shootaround, a strong sign that he's nearing a return. For fantasy managers, the 24-year-old star remains a must-start if he's able to suit up.

Anthony Edwards Considered Questionable For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. Edwards has missed four straight games with a strained right hamstring, but was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, which is a strong indication he's close to returning. Barring any setbacks, the 24-year-old should be back in the lineup resuming his role as Minnesota's top offensive option. His return would lead to decreased minutes for Mike Conley, Rob Dillingham, and Jaylen Clark. Fantasy managers should feel very confident inserting Edwards back into lineups if he's cleared to play.

Anthony Edwards Cleared for Contact in Practice

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is trending in the right direction on Monday. The team announced that the superstar has been cleared for contact in practice, but he will remain out for the time being. ESPN's Shams Charania initially reported that Edwards would be out for two weeks, and he's missed one week so far, which seems to put him on schedule. In the meantime, Mike Conley has joined the starting five and has averaged 9.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game in that time. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect to find a streaming option that gives the level of production that Edwards can give, but Conley has been a decent option so far in category formats.

Anthony Edwards Will Miss Two Weeks with Hamstring Injury

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is set to miss the next two weeks. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the superstar suffered a right hamstring strain and won't be back on the court until November. Edwards was only able to play three minutes during Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers and registered five points and one rebound in that short time. In the meantime, Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, and Jaden McDaniels will likely have to pick up some of the offensive slack. Mike Conley seems to be the most likely candidate to move into the starting lineup, but Naz Reid and Bones Hyland could also see some added minutes.
