Anthony Edwards Available Versus Heat

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (foot) will play on Tuesday night against the Miami Heat. While he was added to the injury report in the afternoon, Edwards has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of tip-off. The Timberwolves star has put up 30 points in three consecutive appearances, including 33 against the Heat last week on the road. In that contest, Edwards had a busy night at the line with an 11-for-14 effort and shot 10-for-19 from the field.

Anthony Edwards Added To Injury Report Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) was a late addition to the team's injury report ahead of their Tuesday night matchup with the Miami Heat. The All-Star guard is listed with right foot injury maintenance, which is of note considering he missed three games in December with foot soreness. Bones Hyland was the biggest beneficiary of Edwards' absence last month, scoring double digits in two of those three starts. He would likely be in the starting five again if Edwards sits this one out.

Anthony Edwards Available Saturday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (shoulder) will play on Saturday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Initially, he was iffy for the contest after the team listed Edwards as questionable due to a shoulder injury. Edwards went for 44 points on Christmas Day against the Denver Nuggets and has thoroughly enjoyed December. He is averaging 30.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.6 steals per game this month.

Mike Conley May Miss Saturday's Game Against Nets

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (rest) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets after the team limited his minutes to under 10 last time out. Conley's status comes alongside Anthony Edwards' (shoulder) questionable designation, adding uncertainty to Minnesota's backcourt availability. If Conley sits, Bones Hyland would likely handle more on-ball work after logging 23 minutes last game and averaging 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists over his last five. Rob Dillingham could also enter the rotation in a limited capacity, as needed.

Anthony Edwards Listed as Questionable Against Brooklyn

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets. Edwards played 42 minutes on Christmas Day and recorded 44 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three steals. If Edwards sits, Minnesota would likely redistribute perimeter usage. Bones Hyland could see an expanded role after starting in similar situations earlier this season. During that stretch, Hyland averaged 11.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 24.8 minutes. His role could grow further if Mike Conley (rest) is also ruled out.

Jaden McDaniels Iffy for Christmas Day

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (oblique) is considered questionable for Thursday's Christmas game against the Denver Nuggets. He could miss a second consecutive contest due to a left oblique contusion. With McDaniels out on Tuesday against the New York Knicks, Mike Conley rejoined the first unit, logging a season-high 30 minutes. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, his production was modest, as the veteran playmaker settled for eight points and two assists. Naz Reid and Bones Hyland also benefit from McDaniels' absence from the rotation.

Jaden McDaniels Out on Tuesday Evening

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (oblique) won't play on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. He suffered an oblique contusion in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Fantasy managers will need to await an update ahead Minnesota's next contest, which will be on Christmas night against the Denver Nuggets. For now, Naz Reid should see more work, potentially entering the starting lineup, giving him an even higher upside for fantasy participants.

Jaden McDaniels Iffy for Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (oblique) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the New York Knicks. He sustained a left oblique contusion in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks, exiting the contest after logging just nine minutes of playing time. Due to the injury, McDaniels may now have to sit out his second game of the season. Mike Conley started the second half in McDaniels' place on Sunday and may keep the spot for Tuesday's matchup. However, the veteran floor general just returned from injury and could see limited minutes. Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon Jr. might also benefit from McDaniels' absence, but neither is a reliable fantasy option.

Mike Conley Nears Return After Missing Four Games

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Milwaukee after missing four straight contests. Any return would likely come with minutes restrictions, capping short-term upside while stabilizing Minnesota's second-unit playmaking. If Conley remains out, Bones Hyland continues to benefit from added ball-handling and shot creation, keeping him in the streamer mix for points and assists. Donte DiVincenzo holds steady minutes at the point, while Anthony Edwards remains the primary closer and usage anchor regardless of Conley's status.

Anthony Edwards Returns Without Minutes Restriction Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) will be back in the lineup on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, NBA insider Marc Stein reports. Edwards has missed three games while managing a right foot injury. The Timberwolves superstar reportedly won't have a minutes restriction on Friday, so fantasy managers can expect something big from Edwards in a head-to-head clash against reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. In his first meeting with the Thunder this season, Edwards tallied 31 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.

Mike Conley Stays Sidelined On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (Achilles) will miss his fourth consecutive game when his team hosts the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. The 38-year-old is managing right Achilles tendiopathy. Minnesota's backcourt minutes are in flux right now. Bones Hyland has picked up starts for Anthony Edwards (questionable, foot) in recent games. He'll likely do so if the young All-Star is inactive again. If Edwards returns, Hyland will compete with second-year guard Rob Dillingham for Conley's minutes. Conley's status is uncertain when the Timberwolves play Sunday night against Milwaukee.

Anthony Edwards on the Injury Report Again for Friday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) is questionable for Friday's matchup against OKC. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick missed only six games in the two seasons heading into the 2025 campaign. However, he's already missed seven this season. If Edwards stays on the shelf versus the champs, Bones Hyland is the favorite to remain the starting lineup. Hyland recently amassed 12 points, five assists, and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, although he could have a tough time being as productive in the meeting with the defensively-sound Thunder.

Anthony Edwards Remains Sidelined on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) won't play on Wednesday against Memphis. His next chance to suit up will be on Friday versus the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder. For now, he'll miss his third-straight game due to right foot "injury maintenance." Mike Conley (Achilles) is also out, meaning Bones Hyland remains in line to re-enter the starting lineup. The 25-year-old looked good in Sunday's win over the Sacramento Kings, finishing with 18 points, five assists, three boards, and one block in 36 minutes of work.

Mike Conley Remains Sidelined Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (Achilles) will miss a third consecutive game on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 38-year-old veteran has landed on the shelf due to right Achilles tendiopathy. With Conley missing from the lineup, Rob Dillingham's minutes have received a boost, but he has not been worthy of fantasy consideration. In Sunday's win over the Sacramento Kings, Dillingham notched five points, three assists, and one steal in 12 minutes. Bones Hyland, who filled in for Anthony Edwards (foot) in the starting unit on Sunday, could also pick up some of Conley's minutes.

Rudy Gobert Not on the Injury Report for Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (personal) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. The multi-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year was having himself a fantastic night in Sunday's win over Sacramento. However, he exited after 20 minutes due to "personal reasons," and would finish that one with seven points, 12 boards, and one block. With Anthony Edwards (foot) potentially out once again, Gobert could continue to benefit on both sides of the floor versus a Memphis team that is without Zach Edey (ankle).

Anthony Edwards on the Injury Report Again for Wednesday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (foot) is considered questionable heading into Wednesday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. He's already missed two-straight games because of what is being called right foot "injury maintenance." However, despite how the issue is labled on the official Injury Report, the chance of another absence certainly doesn't sit well with fantasy managers. With Mike Conley (Achilles) out again, Bones Hyland, coming off an 18-point, five-assist, one-block effort, is worth considering for fantasy lineups. Of course, that's assuming he remains in the starting lineup.

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.
