BREAKING: Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will sit out yet another game due to ongoing soreness in his right foot. This marks his second consecutive game missed, raising concerns for fans and the team alike.
Timberwolves’ head coach Chris Finch confirmed just hours before the game against Sacramento on July 15, 2025, that Edwards “hasn’t calmed down to the point where he’s able to go.” This leaves the team in a challenging position as they navigate their current schedule.
Adding to the Timberwolves’ woes, experienced backup point guard Mike Conley is also sidelined, marking his second straight absence due to a right Achilles injury. With key players out, the team’s depth is being tested, leading to another start for Bones Hyland, who recently earned his spot in the rotation.
This situation is particularly concerning as Edwards has already missed four games earlier this season due to a strained right hamstring. The three-time All-Star is currently averaging an impressive 28.7 points per game, ranking eighth in the NBA. His absence marks the highest number of missed games since the 2021-22 season, during which he played in just 72 games.
With the Timberwolves entering a quieter stretch in their schedule, Edwards could benefit from up to eight days of rest, missing only the two games before they host Memphis on Wednesday. Fans eagerly await updates on his condition, hoping for a swift recovery.
This developing situation highlights the impact of injuries on team performance, and the Timberwolves are grappling with maintaining their competitive edge. As the team prepares for their next matchup, all eyes will be on Edwards and his potential return to the court.
Stay tuned for further updates on this urgent story as we monitor the latest developments surrounding the Timberwolves.
