Is Anthony Edwards playing tonight? Timberwolves vs. Mavericks injury report
The Minnesota Timberwolves have stayed afloat in the treacherous Western Conference, just like they have for the past few seasons. They continued to rely on their defense, while on the other end they played efficient basketball, led Anthony Edwards. The The Timberwolves star missed the last game against the Golden State Warriors with a toe injury, and he was still listed on the injury report before their matchup with the Dallas Mavericks.
Edwards added a late injury report before the Warriors game, and it’s uncertain what his status will be this time around, but hopefully the injury isn’t too serious.

Anthony Edwards Injury Status vs. Mavericks
Edwards is listed as questionable against the Mavericks, and it appears his status could be up in the air until closer to game time. Head coach Chris Finch spoke about Edwards’ recent injury and knew nothing about it until right before the Warriors game.
“That was news to me, honestly. He had a sore foot that was bothering him,” Finch said of the Blueski, via Chris Hine of the Minnesota Star Tribune.
With the Timberwolves set to play back-to-back games, Finch isn’t sure what Edwards’ status might be.
“It wasn’t communicated to me, but then again, I haven’t really spoken to the performance team since the decision was made to sit him tonight,” Finch said.
The Timberwolves have mostly done well with Edwards out, and it’s up to Julius Randle and others to step up in his absence. Edwards is averaging a career-high 29.7 points per game this season, so it won’t be easy to replace that kind of production, but they should still be able to stay competitive against the Mavericks.
