Is Anthony Edwards playing tonight against Toronto Raptors? Latest on 2-time NBA All-Star’s status (April 3)
Despite being questionable for the past few games due to a finger injury, Anthony Edwards may still not be able to participate in Wednesday night’s game against the Toronto Raptors. This uncertainty is compounded by the fact that the Minnesota Timberwolves are playing on the second night of a back-to-back, leaving room for speculation regarding Edwards’ potential absence.
Despite acknowledging his “fatigued legs”following a subpar shooting performance, Edwards managed to score 21 points while shooting 31.3%. However, he did miss six 3-pointers and has now failed to make a long-range shot in his last 19 attempts, going 1 for 23 in his past four games.
Despite missing the Timberwolves’ 121-107 loss against the New Orleans Pelicans on Dec. 11 due to a hip injury, Edwards has not taken a break. However, after playing 53 consecutive games and averaging 35.9 minutes per night, the fatigue may finally be catching up with the Timberwolves star.
