Anthony Edwards is uncertain for the Thunder clash due to a foot injury
Minnesota Timberwolves star guardian Anthony Edwards is questionable for Friday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder because of a right leg injury.
The The Timberwolves (17-10) will host the reigning NBA champion Thunder (25-2) at 9:30 PM ET on Prime Video as part of a five-game homestand. Edwards, 24, has missed Minnesota’s last three games and hasn’t appeared since last Monday 108-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Despite the loss, Edwards had one of his strongest performances of the season in that competition. He finished with 40 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one steal while shooting 15-for-21 from the field, 3-for-7 from three-point range and 7-for-9 from the free throw line in 38 minutes.

Edwards remained the focal point of Minnesota’s offense throughout his sixth NBA season. In 20 games, he averaged 28.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 50% from the field and 41.6% from beyond the arc in 34.4 minutes per game.
Friday’s game will be the teams’ second meeting since last season’s Western Conference Finals. Oklahoma City picked up its first win, winning 113-105 at home during the NBA Cup game on Nov. 26, dropping Minnesota to 10-8 at the time.
Edwards scored 31 points, eight rebounds and five assists in that game. He shot 9-for-19 from the field, knocked down five of 10 three-pointers and went 8-for-12 from the free throw line while logging 40 minutes.
Minnesota’s approach to the matchup could hinge on Edwards’ availability as it faces a Thunder team off to the league’s best start. His status is expected to be updated closer to tip-off.
