Sitting out Sunday's game
Edwards won't play Sunday against the Pelicans due to right knee injury maintenance.
Analyse
As expected, Edwards will be sidelined for the final game of the regular season while he has a maintenance day to recover from a knee injury that has been bothering him for the last few weeks. Edwards had a career-best season in 2025-26, averaging 28.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in 61 regular-season contests. He should be ready to roll for the playoffs starting April 18.

Returns with 22 points
Edwards notched 22 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 136-132 win over Houston.
Analyse
We may have seen the last from Edwards in the regular season, as the Timberwolves are locked into the sixth seed in the Western Conference. A week off will do Edwards some good, as a lingering knee injury has forced him to miss 10 of Minnesota's last 13 contests. There will likely be no need to put Edwards on the court Sunday against the Pelicans. With Ayo Dosunmu (calf) also dealing with an injury, we could see more from Terrence Shannon in the regular-season finale.

Available versus Rockets
Edwards (knee) is listed as available for Friday's game against Houston, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Analyse
Edwards missed 10 of Minnesota's last 12 games. However, with only one contest left on the regular-season schedule after Friday night, the 24-year-old will be back on the floor for his first game against the Rockets during the 2025-26 campaign.
9. April 2026
Questionable versus Rockets
Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game in Houston.
Analyse
Edwards has appeared in only two of the Timberwolves' last 12 contests. If he doesn't suit up versus Houston, Bones Hyland (hip) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf), who are both questionable, could both continue to see more work. However, if neither of those players can get on the floor, Terrence Shannon would be in line to receive additional action.

Won't play Wednesday
Edwards (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analyse
Edwards missed the first leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday, and he won't suit up Wednesday either, giving him three straight games on the sidelines. The Timberwolves are being extremely cautious with the star guard, and it seems the goal is to have him as healthy as possible for the upcoming playoffs. With Edwards, Ayo Dosunmu (rest), Julius Randle (hand) and Mike Conley (rest) all out, Bones Hyland could see an expanded role in the backcourt after scoring 19 points in Tuesday's win over the Pacers.
6. April 2026
Ruled out for Tuesday
Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana.
Analyse
Edwards will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to right knee injury maintenance, marking his second straight game on the inactive list. Mike Conley, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark are candidates to see an uptick in minutes in Edwards' stead. His next chance to play will come Wednesday in Orlando.
