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.

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.

Ruled out Sunday
Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analyse
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. With Edwards and Jaden McDaniels (knee) sidelined, Ayo Dosunmu, Donte DiVincenzo and Mike Conley are candidates for increased roles, but Julius Randle will lead the offense.

Questionable versus Hornets
Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte.
Analyse
Edwards has appeared in only two of Minnesota's last nine contests. He was able to suit up for Friday's 115-103 loss to the 76ers, although he finished with only eight points, two rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block while making three of his 15 attempts from the field. With Jaden McDaniels (knee) already ruled out, Ayo Dosunmu and Mike Conley may both be in starting lineup if Edwards doesn't play Sunday.

Struggles in return
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.
Analyse
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.

Good to go Friday
Edwards (knee/illness) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Analyse
Edwards will shed his questionable tag and return from a one-game absence due to a right knee issue and an illness. Mike Conley is expected to retreat to the second unit, while there will also be fewer minutes available for the likes of Terrence Shannon and Bones Hyland. Edwards returned from a six-game absence due to the knee issue in Monday's win over Dallas, posting 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and two rebounds across 23 minutes. While he may see an uptick in playing time Friday, it wouldn't be surprising if the Timberwolves keep him on some sort of minutes restriction.
