What it means for the Timberwolves
Minnesota hosts the Warriors on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 8:00 p.m. ET. The Timberwolves are 3-1, sixth in the standings, and lost their last game. Edwards carries the offense. He is averaging 33.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.7 minutes over four games. They are 3-1 with him and have not played a game without him. If he sits, the minutes likely go to Ayo Dosunmu (26.2 minutes, 12.0 points), LaMelo Ball (24.8, 14.8) and Terrence Shannon Jr. (22.1, 13.0). Jaden McDaniels (15.0 points) and Jonathan Kuminga (11.5) would also need to score more. Donte DiVincenzo is out with a right Achilles issue.
