Is Anthony Edwards playing tonight? Timberwolves vs. Jazz NBA Cup injury report
The Minnesota Timberwolves will face the Utah Jazz in the NBA Cup group stage, and their star is on the injury report. Anthony Edwards had a right hamstring strain the past few weeks, and it seems like the Timberwolves are trying to be cautious with the injury. He returned to play earlier this week against the New York Knicks and finished with 15 points, 2 rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes.
Edwards looked like he could move around the floor well, and hopefully he can continue to find his groove on the court after missing four games with the strain.

It’s Edwards listed as suspicious against the Jazz, and it could be 50/50 whether he plays or not. The fact that he played against the Knicks should mean there’s a good chance he fits, but it’s not certain how he felt the day or so after the game. Edwards admitted it right after the game this injury felt different than others he had in his career.
“A little bit, because you don’t want to move too fast, go out there and try to do too much,” Edwards said, via ESPN’s Tim Bontemps . “But I felt great tonight. I was ready to go out tonight. The basketball gods had other plans.”
Coach Chris Finch praised Edwards’ performance in his first fullback game.
“It was a tough game back,” Finch said. “It’s always going to be a tough game when you’re out. I thought he did his best. It’s always going to be tough. It’s a tough team to play.”
As Edwards continues to play, he should be able to settle in and get back to himself. That’s what the Timberwolves will need if they want to be successful early this season.
