Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been added to the injury report and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to injury maintenance on his right toe. Edwards has dealt with the toe issue at various points this season, including a previous matchup with the Grizzlies in December.

Why it matters

Edwards is in the midst of a career-best season, averaging 29.5 points per game on 49.3% shooting. His potential absence would be a significant blow to the Timberwolves, who are 38-23 on the season and enter as heavy favorites against the Grizzlies.

The details

The team is reportedly managing a toe infection and irritation that has sidelined Edwards at times this year. In the 10 games he has missed, Jaden McDaniels and Donte DiVincenzo have seen significant scoring boosts, but the Timberwolves will hope to have their star wing available against the Grizzlies.

  • Edwards was initially not on the injury report, but was added as questionable about two hours before Tuesday's tip-off.
  • He previously missed a matchup with the Grizzlies in December due to the toe issue.
