Anthony Edwards Added to Timberwolves’ Injury Report with New Ailment

Anthony Edwards, the star guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has been added to the team’s injury report due to back spasms. This news comes after he previously dealt with a toe infection that kept him out of several games over the past two months.

Injury Update on Anthony Edwards

Edwards is currently questionable for the upcoming game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night. He recently scored 33 points in a recent matchup against the same team, showcasing his potential to lead the Timberwolves.

Impact on Team Performance

Alongside Edwards, Timberwolves forward Julius Randle is also listed as questionable due to left thumb soreness. As a left-handed player, a sore left thumb poses a greater challenge for Randle than it would for someone with a sore right thumb.

Grizzlies’ Injury Status

The Timberwolves will face the Grizzlies, who are missing multiple key players. On Saturday, Memphis was without Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama, John Konchar, Scottie Pippen Jr., Zach Edey, and Brandon Clarke. The injury report remains significant as Morant, Edey, and Clarke are out once again for the Monday game, while Jackson and Konchar are day-to-day.

Upcoming Schedule and Trade Deadline

Monday’s game against Memphis is crucial for the Timberwolves. They will also visit Toronto on Wednesday, making it a critical week for the team. Significant attention is on Minnesota as the NBA trade deadline approaches on Thursday. There is speculation regarding possible trades that could affect the team’s roster.

Anthony Edwards: Questionable due to back spasms
