The Timberwolves basketball is back and there is a good news amid their lingering injury woes. Heading into the All-Star break, the team had three of their starters along with a prominent role player from the bench on the report. Unfortunately, even before the ASW break could get over, they added one player to the list. This time, it was a heavy blow because it was Anthony Edwards. Now, with four starters in the report, can the Minnesota side get any help for tonight’s match-up against the Houston Rockets?
Yes, the Wolves definitely will receive help. Let’s dig a little deeper to understand better. Ahead of the All-Star break, Ant-Man dealt with a nagging hip injury. However, it didn’t keep him away from action unlike his teammates. Despite his on and off trips to the injury report, Edwards managed to lace-up. In fact, in the game against the OKC Thunder right before the break, 23-year-old without the presence of Julius Randle, Mike Conley, Rudy Gobert, and Donte DiVincenzo defeated the lethal side.
Nonetheless, the Wolves couldn’t cherish the victory for longer, as Anthony Edwards sat out of the ASG dealing with the groin injury. Right when everyone thought the team’s post-season has come to a closure. There was hope. Ahead of the Rockets game, the team listed the star guard in the Questionable category not for the groin injury but for the hip. Moreover, Coach Chris Finch also revealed that Edwards engaged “largely in full capacity” during Thursday’s practice. And the final update revealed that Ant-Man would play.
Anthony Edwards (hip) will play Friday.
