Timberwolves’ Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards headline injury report vs. Suns

The Minnesota Timberwolves have a lot left to play for heading into game 82. For the Wolves to clinch the one seed in the West, they need a win and either a Denver Nuggets loss or Oklahoma City Thunder loss. However, their final regular season game comes against the Phoenix Suns, a team that has given Minnesota problems this year.

The Suns will have a chance to sweep the season series on Sunday afternoon. As Phoenix is still in the hunt for improved playoff seeding, the Timberwolves will have to bring their A-game to eclipse the Suns in game 82.

With a lot on the line, Minnesota’s injury report becomes an important topic of conversation. The Wolves’ two All-Stars in 2024 have both appeared on the status report prior to the ultimate game of the campaign. In a must-win game, it’s a possibility that the Wolves are without Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards.

Anthony Edwards’ injury status

Prior to tipoff on Friday night, Edwards popped up on the Timberwolves’ status report. Ant was listed as questionable with an illness before the battle with the Atlanta Hawks. Despite appearing on the injury list, Edwards played through the illness.

However, Ant-Man was rendered rather ineffective compared to his usual play. In 27 minutes, the star guard mustered just 14 points. Edwards shot just 4-of-12 from the field on the night. While he did add in four rebounds and four assists, it was clear Edwards wasn’t feeling his best.

Now, Anthony Edwards is once again listed as questionable due to illness. Based on his last game, it will be interesting to see if Minnesota gives him some time to rest before the postseason or not. Given Minnesota’s circumstances in pursuit of the one seed, Minnesota’s ascending superstar will do everything in his power to suit up on Sunday afternoon.
