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.

Anthony Edwards Listed as Questionable for Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against the Dallas Mavericks. He has missed six games with a knee injury but is on the cusp of returning. With Ayo Dosunmu (calf) also on the shelf, Mike Conley has started back-to-back games. On Monday, the veteran could fall out of the rotation if both Edwards and Dosunmu return. Boney Hyland's role will also change once the Timberwolves are back at full strength.

Ayo Dosunmu • PG • Timberwolves

Ayo Dosunmu Questionable to Play Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. He's experiencing soreness in his right calf and exited the lineup earlier in the week after being initially considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against Houston. Anthony Edwards (knee) will remain out on Saturday, so having Dosunmu back in the lineup would be very important for the Timberwolves. The former Bull has averaged 18.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists over his last five appearances. With both Edwards and Dosunmu out, Mike Conley re-entered the rotation as a starter on Wednesday, totaling five points, five rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block. The veteran could get another start on Saturday, giving him more fantasy appeal.

Jaden McDaniels • PF • Timberwolves

Jaden McDaniels Not Playing Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (knee) will not play Saturday against Detroit, marking just his third absence of the season. His absence should open additional minutes for Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson. Reid is the more attractive fantasy target after producing 14 points, 13 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 31 minutes last game, offering strong category coverage. Anderson added five rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 30 minutes and remains a deeper-league utility option. Julius Randle could also see a slight usage bump while McDaniels and Anthony Edwards (knee) remain out.

Anthony Edwards Remains Sidelined Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) will not play Saturday against Detroit as he continues working toward a return that could come as soon as Monday. His absence keeps extra playmaking opportunities available for Bones Hyland and Mike Conley. Hyland finished with eight points and eight assists in 30 minutes off the bench last game and is on the radar for managers needing short-term help in assists. Conley put up six assists, five rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes and remains more of a deep-league fallback for guard depth. Julius Randle could also continue seeing elevated usage while Edwards remains sidelined.

Anthony Edwards Could Return Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) could return to action as soon as this Saturday against the Detroit Pistons, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. On March 17, the team announced that Edwards had been diagnosed with right knee inflammation and would be re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks. Currently, he is considered day-to-day. Edwards missed a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Minnesota has gone 4-1 without him but will be desperate to get its star man back. If Edwards' return doesn't come on Saturday, he will likely be good to go on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Mar 26

Ayo Dosunmu • PG • Timberwolves

Ayo Dosunmu Won't Play Wednesday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's encounter with the Houston Rockets. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, meaning Minnesota has lost another key contributor. Dosunmu has recently enjoyed a strong stretch, filling in for Anthony Edwards (knee) in the starting lineup. Bones Hyland has also seen increased playing time due to Edwards' absence, and he could now take on additional responsibilities as the next man up in the first unit. Meanwhile, Minnesota may reintroduce Mike Conley into the rotation because of the backcourt injuries.
