Nature

Anthony Edwards is not playing tonight because of a right foot injury. Team reports list the issue as soreness in his right foot, and he has been ruled out as a result.

Injury reason

Anthony Edwards was added to Minnesota’s injury report with right foot soreness after his last game, where he played heavy minutes and carried a big scoring load. The Timberwolves later updated his status from questionable to out for tonight’s game, explaining why he will not be in the lineup.

Additional context

Reports indicate it is not related to the right hamstring strain that caused him to miss games earlier in the season. The team appears to be treating the foot issue cautiously, holding him out at least for this matchup instead of risking aggravation.
