Rotowire
Edwards won't return to Saturday's Game 4 against the Nuggets due to a left knee injury.
Mike Conley and Ayo Dosunmu started the second half of Saturday's game with both Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo (leg) missing in action. If Edwards can't play in Game 5 on Monday, Dosunmu and Julius Randle will do the heavy lifting on offense, and Bones Hyland could be more involved in the rotation.

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.

Rotowire

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.

Rotowire
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.
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.
