Anthony Edwards Unlikely To Suit Up Thursday
7 months agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) is doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Utah Jazz. Edwards sustained a right hip pointer when he took a scary fall to the floor following a dunk attempt during the third quarter of Tuesday's eventual 106-103 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. It makes Edwards likely to require an absence for the first time in 2023-24, and his next chance to return would arrive on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. This fortunately sounds like a minor issue that leaves Edwards as day-to-day. The 22-year-old former No. 1 overall pick is landing third-round value in 12-team category leagues this year, averaging 26.2 points, 5.0 assists, 2.5 threes, and 1.3 swipes in 35.1 minutes across 17 games. Kyle Anderson is a candidate for increased involvement with Edwards expected to be out on Thursday, while Karl-Anthony Towns and Mike Conley should take on heavy playmaking duties in this scenario.
