Minnesota Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo (toe) has drawn a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz due to the toe injury that kept him out for over a month.

Anthony Edwards Suspended, Will Miss Friday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (suspension) has been suspended for receiving his 16th technical foul of the season and will miss Friday's game against the Utah Jazz.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (conditioning) will be sidelined on Friday for the second half of their back-to-back against the Phoenix Suns.

Bradley Beal Remains Out On Friday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) has been ruled out for the second consecutive game with calf tightness.
