Timberwolves Announce Anthony Edwards News on Monday

Edwards also thrives in clutch moments, embracing the responsibility of being Minnesota’s go‑to option late in games. Combined with his defensive versatility and leadership presence, he has become the kind of player who elevates the Timberwolves’ ceiling every time he takes the court.

Throughout much of January, Edwards has frequently been listed on the Timberwolves injury report with right foot injury maintenance. The issue has often given him a questionable designation as he attempts to manage it and play through it, though until now it had not forced him to miss time.

His performance remained unaffected, but the setback has finally sidelined him. Minnesota announced its injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, ruling Edwards out with right foot injury maintenance.

With Edwards unavailable, his next chance to suit up will be Friday on the road against the Houston Rockets. His absence leaves a significant void, as he has continued to play at an elite level this season.

Through 33 appearances, Edwards has averaged 28.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting an efficient 50.0% from the field and 40.9% from 3‑point range.

The Timberwolves will need others to step up in his absence, but Edwards’ return will be essential if Minnesota hopes to sustain its push toward the top of the Western Conference.
