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.
Analysis
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.
Analysis
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.

Iffy for Friday
Edwards (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Analysis
Edwards remains day-to-day for Minnesota after missing Thursday's game against the Pistons with a knee issue on top of an illness. If Edwards is unable to give it a go, the Timberwolves will likely lean more on Bones Hyland, Mike Conley and Ayo Dosunmu.

Won't play Thursday
Edwards (knee/illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Detroit.
Analysis
Edwards returned from a six-game absence for Monday's win over Dallas, finishing with 17 points, two rebounds and four assists in 23 minutes off the bench. However, he won't play Thursday, meaning his next chance to suit up will be Friday in Philadelphia. Without Edwards, Bones Hyland, Mike Conley and Ayo Dosunmu should all see more action, with two of those players expected to start now that Jaden McDaniels (knee) is out as well.

Iffy for Thursday
Edwards is listed questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit due to right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome and an illness.
Analysis
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.

Scores 17 points in return
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.
Analysis
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.

Checks in late Monday
Edwards didn't start Monday's game against the Mavericks but checked in with 10:59 remaining in the first quarter, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
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.

Good to go Monday
Edwards (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis
Edwards will shed his questionable tag and return from a six-game absence due to a right knee issue. With the superstar guard back in action, there will be fewer minutes available for Mike Conley, Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon. Over eight appearances in March, Edwards has averaged 28.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.6 combined steals-plus-blocks in 35.3 minutes per contest.

Iffy for Monday
Edwards (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis
Edwards has missed Minnesota's last six games due to a right knee issue, though there's a chance the superstar will return in Dallas. If the 24-year-old guard is cleared to play, there would be fewer minutes available for Mike Conley, Terrence Shannon and Jaylen Clark.
