Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Drops in 41 points with four steals
Rotowire
Edwards piled up 41 points (14-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, four assists, four steals, one block and five turnovers across 40 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to Phoenix.
Edwards had been struggling mightily in his previous three outings, converting just 33.3 percent of his shot attempts while going 2-for-23 from three-point range, but he got things back on track in a big way Friday night as he tied his season-high in points. Despite a herculean effort from Edwards, the Wolves weren't able to take home the win, and they're now 0-6 this season against over .500 teams.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Poor shooting from deep in win
Rotowire
Edwards totaled 13 points (5-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 120-96 win over Dallas.
Edwards posted his lowest scoring output in a full game this season, though Minnesota still rolled to a blowout victory. The star guard is stuck in a shooting slump, hitting only 9.1 percent of his three-point attempts over the past three games and 28.6 percent across his past five. Aside from the Oct. 26 contest in which he exited after three minutes due to a hamstring injury, Edwards is averaging 28.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.3 minutes across nine appearances.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Full stat line in loss
Rotowire
Edwards accumulated 26 points (8-23 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks across 38 minutes during Saturday's 123-112 loss to the Nuggets.
Edwards tied for the team high in points Saturday, though he struggled from three-point range and has now shot just 1-for-15 from downtown over his last two outings. Still, the superstar contributed on both ends of the floor, leading the Timberwolves in rebounds and steals. He also tied his season-high mark in assists and set a new season best in blocks through nine regular-season appearances.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Goes for 30 points Friday
Rotowire
Edwards contributed 30 points (9-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 124-110 victory over Sacramento.
Edwards struggled with his shot from beyond the arc, going 1-for-7, but he still posted a strong stat line while reaching the 30-point mark for the third time in his last four contests. The hamstring injury that kept Edwards sidelined for four games between Oct. 27 and Nov. 3 is no longer an issue, and Edwards should remain the Timberwolves' undisputed primary scoring weapon every time he steps on the court. Considering he's scored at least 30 points in five of his eight outings in 2025-26, fantasy managers should continue to trust him in every format.

The star guard has topped 30 points in four of seven appearances, averaging 27.1 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists on 50.4 percent shooting and 50.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Leads charge in big win
Rotowire
Edwards totaled 26 points (7-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 144-117 victory over Sacramento.
The 26 points led Minnesota on the night, as did the five dimes and five made three-pointers. Edwards has been eased back into action since returning from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury, but he's still averaged 26.0 points, 5.0 threes, 3.7 boards, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.3 minutes over the last three contests while shooting a blistering 50.0 percent (15-for-30) from beyond the arc.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Explodes for 37 points Friday
Rotowire
Edwards closed with 37 points (12-21 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 137-97 win over the Jazz.
The Timberwolves cruised to a 40-point blowout win over the Jazz on Friday, and Edwards was the leading offensive weapon for Minnesota. The 37-point output showed Edwards is fully recovered from the hamstring injury that saw him miss four games in a row between Oct. 27 and Nov. 3. He's also scored at least 30 points in three of his five outings this season. When healthy, Edwards should be a dominant scoring threat every time he steps on the hardwood.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) will play Friday against the Jazz.
Edwards was listed as questionable, but he made it through shootaround with no setbacks. He had 15 points, five assists, two rebounds, two steals and three turnovers in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks, and he could be ready for a few more minutes Friday.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Questionable to play Friday
Rotowire
Edwards is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz due to a right hamstring injury.
Edwards notched 15 points, five assists, two rebounds, two steals and three turnovers in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks. That was his first game back from a four-game absence due to the same hamstring problem that has him questionable for Friday, so the extra caution is understandable. Edwards is likely to play, though, as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks in the next 24 hours. Edwards is averaging 23.0 points per game while making 46.2 percent of his three-pointers in his four outings this season.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Scores 15 points with two steals
Rotowire
Edwards notched 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two steals and three turnovers in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 137-114 loss to the Knicks.
Edwards seemed a bit rusty in his first game back from a four-game absence, but he was moving around fine, so hopefully, this is the last we'll hear of the hamstring issue. The Wolves do close out the week with a Sunday-Monday, back-to-back set, so it'll be interesting to see if Ant-Man gets cleared for both of those games.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Will play Wednesday
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) will play Wednesday's game against the Knicks, and he will not have any minutes restrictions, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Edwards will be returning from a four-game absence, which should result in Mike Conley heading back to the second unit, and there will be fewer touches for Donte DiVincenzo. Bones Hyland could drop from the rotation entirely with Edwards active and without restrictions.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Following a four-game absence due to a strained right hamstring, Edwards has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's contest. He also participated in Tuesday's practice, which bodes well for his potential availability. If the superstar guard returns against New York, Rob Dillingham, Mike Conley and Jaylen Clark are candidates to see a dip in minutes.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Goes through practice
Rotowire
Edwards (hamstring) participated in Tuesday's practice, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
This is an expected update after Edwards was cleared for basketball activities Monday. He's expected to be re-evaluated in the near future, and previous reports have indicated that he would return around mid-November. However, if Edwards responds well to Tuesday's increased activity, his return could be imminent.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Cleared for basketball activities
Rotowire
The Timberwolves announced Monday that Edwards (hamstring) has been cleared for basketball activities, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Edwards will remain out until he moves through his return-to-play rehab program, but this is a step in the right direction. Based on previous reporting, Edwards' earliest possible return date remains Nov 14 against the Kings.
Edwards (hamstring) will miss two weeks of action, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Monday.
This is a devastating blow for Edwards' fantasy managers, and for the Timberwolves in general. Based on this initial timetable of two weeks, Edwards will miss at least the next eight regular-season games. That sets up a potential return on Nov. 14 against the Kings. Edwards' official diagnosis is a right hamstring strain after it was previously described as tightness, so it's understandable that the team is being cautious here. In the meantime, Bones Hyland, Terrence Shannon and Jaylen Clark are candidates for increased minutes for Minnesota.
