Anthony Edwards has been cleared on the official injury report, one day after he was listed as day-to-day with a knee issue. The Timberwolves guard is in line to face the Warriors on Wednesday night.
What happened
Anthony Edwards was cleared on the official injury report at 1:37 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Oct. 27. On Monday, Oct. 26, he had been listed as day-to-day with a knee issue. The report gave no further detail and no comment on the knee. This is the third time this month he has gone from day-to-day to cleared. The first two were rest listings. He was day-to-day on Oct. 10 and cleared Oct. 12, then day-to-day on Oct. 16 and cleared Oct. 17. Monday's listing was the first one tied to an injury.
What it means for the Timberwolves
Minnesota hosts the Warriors on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 8 p.m. ET. The Timberwolves are 3-1, sit sixth in the standings and lost their last game. Edwards has carried the offense. Through four games he is averaging 33.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.7 minutes. He has played in all four games, so Minnesota has not yet played without him. Donte DiVincenzo is still out with a right Achilles injury. In the backcourt, Ayo Dosunmu averages 26.2 minutes and 12.0 points, LaMelo Ball 24.8 minutes and 14.8 points, and Terrence Shannon Jr. 22.1 minutes and 13.0 points.
What to watch
The next injury report before Wednesday's game will show whether Edwards stays clear. No other timeline has been announced for the knee. Against Golden State, watch his workload. He has averaged 33.7 minutes so far, and the knee listing came only a day before he was cleared. DiVincenzo remains out, and no date has been announced for his return. That leaves Dosunmu, Ball and Shannon to split the guard minutes next to Edwards.
