UPDATE: In a last-minute development, star guard Anthony Edwards has been upgraded to available for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ crucial matchup against the Phoenix Suns tonight at 7:30 PM ET. This comes after he was initially listed as questionable due to an illness that has plagued him leading up to the game.
The Timberwolves are currently riding a five-game winning streak and are eager to secure their 16th win of the season. Earlier today, both Edwards and teammate Terrence Shannon Jr. were downgraded on the injury report for illness, heightening concerns about their availability. However, the latest confirmation indicates that Edwards will take the court, providing a significant boost to Minnesota’s offensive lineup.
Edwards, who previously faced a minor setback that kept him out for several games earlier this season, returned on November 5, but his performance has varied since then. His recent outings include a stunning 44-point game against the New Orleans Pelicans, followed by a disappointing 11 points in a rematch against the same team. Despite these fluctuations, the Timberwolves have continued their winning momentum, remaining undefeated since their overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings on November 24.
Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Edwards will perform tonight against a competitive Suns team. With his ability to impact the game significantly, his presence on the court could be pivotal in extending the Timberwolves’ winning streak.
As the tip-off approaches, all eyes will be on Edwards as he looks to shake off any lingering effects of his illness and help propel Minnesota towards victory. For continuing updates on this developing story and more NBA news, stay tuned to Newsweek Sports.
