Kuminga (general soreness) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Knicks, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

"[Kuminga] is dealing with a little bit of bumps and bruises that we're just being overly cautious with," said head coach Chris Finch when asked why Kuminga would miss Monday's exhibition. It sounds like there's a decent chance Kuminga will be able to get back out there for Wednesday's preseason meeting with the Pistons.

Edwards (rest) is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason matchup with the Knicks.

Edwards is back after a one-game absence, but he'll likely still have his minutes limited, with this being the preseason. He's played well in his first two preseason games and looks comfortable sharing the floor with LaMelo Ball.

Williams will start in Monday's preseason matchup with the Knicks.
