Anthony Edwards, Terrence Shannon Jr. added to the injury report against the Suns
On Monday night, The Minnesota Timberwolves will hit the floor at home for the match against the Phoenix Suns. The Timberwolves are looking to get another win after they recently knocked off the Los Angeles Clippers in a tight game at home.
Unfortunately, the Timberwolves received some troubling news on the injury front on Monday afternoon on the eve of the conflict against Phoenix.
“The Wolves added (Anthony) Edwards and (Terrence) Shannon to the injury report due to illness. Neither was in contention,” reported Jon Krawczynski of the Athletics on X, formerly Twitter.
Edwards, of course, is the head of the snake for Minnesota, and the team operates completely differently (and less effectively) with him off the floor. Meanwhile, Shannon Jr. has been able to secure himself more rotation minutes this season and is making the most of it, making a surprising impact in last year’s Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Overall, the Timberwolves will be looking for revenge on Monday night after being beaten by the Suns earlier this season. In that game, Minnesota absolutely melted down in the final minute, with Edwards missing a pair of free throws and being turned over multiple times by the team, eventually falling victim to Colin Gillespie.
The Timberwolves will surely hope that Edwards will be on the floor for the rematch. The Suns will be without Devin Booker, while Dillon Brooks is questionable.
Tipoff between Minnesota and Phoenix is set for 7:30 PM ET.
