The Minnesota Timberwolves face off with the Indiana Pacers on Monday night, but will Anthony Edwards play? See here for the latest Timberwolves injury report.
Anthony Edwards is officially questionable for Monday night’s game as the Minnesota star deals with a cut on his right thumb.
This isn’t the first time Edwards has been listed with this thumb injury, but he’s typically fought through it and played anyway.
While the thumb is the official reason he’s on the injury report, the Timberwolves are also keeping an eye on Edwards’ thigh after a scary moment in Saturday’s game.
The 23-year-old took a hard fall against New Orleans and limped to the locker room, leaving fans holding their breath.
Thankfully, the injury wasn’t serious. Edwards returned after a brief break and finished with 17 points in 26 minutes of action.
Iron Man Edwards
One thing you’ve got to love about Edwards is his reliability. The guy just doesn’t miss games.
In his five seasons since Minnesota drafted him in 2020, he’s never missed more than ten games in a regular season.
Even more impressive? In the last three years combined, he’s only missed nine games total.
Games missed by Anthony Edwards each season:
- 2020-21: 10
- 2021-22: 10
- 2022-23: 3
- 2023-24: 3
- 2024-25: 3* (Season incomplete, 10 games remaining)
It’s not just his availability that’s been consistent. "Ant-Man" keeps getting better every single year.
This season, he’s putting up career-best numbers across the board – 27.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.
With the playoffs just around the corner, you can bet the Timberwolves will be extra cautious with their superstar. They’re hoping for another deep playoff run like last year, and they’ll need a healthy Edwards to make that happen.
Will he suit up against the Pacers? Based on his track record, it’s hard to bet against him.
