Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Doesn't return to Game 3
Rotowire
Edwards (undisclosed) didn't return to Thursday's Game 3 of the Western Conference first-round series against the Nuggets. He finished with 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes.
Edwards checked out of the game with 7:47 remaining in the fourth quarter to go to the locker room, but he was spotted on the Minnesota bench shortly after, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com. The star guard has been listed on the injury report with a knee injury ahead of all three games of the series thus far, so it's unclear if he's battling the same knee issue or if he picked up a new injury. Edwards can be considered day-to-day until more news emerges.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Big double-double in Game 2 win
Rotowire
Edwards supplied 30 points (10-25 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Monday's 119-114 victory over the Nuggets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After teasing a 22-point triple-double in a Game 1 loss Saturday, Edwards ramped things up in Game 2, leading Minnesota to a comeback from an early 19-point deficit. The 24-year-old superstar is still nursing a sore knee that limited him to three of the Timberwolves' final 14 regular-season contests, but his performance to begin the postseason doesn't suggest it will hold him back. Edwards looks locked in as the series heads back to Minnesota on Thursday, tied 1-1.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Will play in Game 2
Rotowire
ESPN's Shams Charania reported Monday on NBA Today that Edwards (knee) will play in Game 2 versus the Nuggets.
The Timberwolves considered Edwards questionable to play due to right knee injury maintenance, but it likely would have taken something more significant to stop him from suiting up Monday. Barring any setbacks, the superstar guard should be able to handle a full workload as Minnesota tries to even up this series. Edwards logged 38 minutes in Game 1 after carrying a questionable tag.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Questionable for Game 2
Rotowire
Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 2 of the Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Nuggets.
Edwards is back on the injury report with the same "right knee injury maintenance" tag that he carried throughout the final weeks of the regular season and into the series opener. Despite the designation, Edwards looked explosive in Saturday's Game 1 loss, logging 22 points, nine rebounds and three blocks across a team-high 38 minutes. Given the stakes of the postseason, it would be surprising to see the superstar guard sidelined, but his status will need to be monitored leading up to Monday's tipoff.

Rotowire
Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Edwards has been downgraded from questionable to out and will be sidelined for the eighth time over Minnesota's last 10 games. In addition to battling a knee injury, the superstar guard was also dealing with an illness, but the ailment is no longer listed on the injury report.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Struggles in return
Rotowire
Edwards registered eight points (3-15 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 115-103 loss to Philadelphia.
Edwards looked far from his best, battling his way to just eight points on poor shooting. An ongoing knee injury has caused him to miss seven of the past nine games, during which he has averaged 12.5 points, 3.5 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 three-pointers. While it does appear as though he is going to try to battle through it, managers should expect somewhat muted production, at least when compared to his usual lofty standard.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Edwards is listed questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit due to right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and an illness.
Edwards recently missed six consecutive games due to the knee issue, and since he's also apparently under the weather, Minnesota may be inclined to hold him out for the front end of their back-to-back set. If the star guard is ruled out, Bones Hyland and Mike Conley would likely absorb most of his minutes. Edwards returned from the extended absence in Monday's blowout win over Dallas, posting 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and two rebounds across 23 minutes.

Rotowire
Edwards amassed 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes during Monday's 124-94 win over Dallas.
Edwards didn't start Monday's game but checked in early in the first quarter, but since this was a blowout victory, he only played 23 minutes and posted a decent stat line. Edwards should recover his role as the Timberwolves' No. 1 option on offense as soon as Thursday when Minnesota takes on the Pistons in a tough matchup.

Edwards was late getting to the floor Monday but ultimately replaced Mike Conley after just over a minute of game time. Edwards is returning from a six-game absence due to a right knee issue, and while he didn't start against Dallas, he should be good to go for the rest of the contest after checking in.
