FINAL UPDATE: Anthony Edwards is available. 

UPDATE: Chris Herrington of Daily Memphian wrote: “Minnesota coach Chris Finch says Anthony Edwards is a game-time decision tonight against the Grizzlies.” 

Before Tuesday’s game, the Timberwolves announced that Edwards has been added to the injury report.

Dane Moore wrote: “Anthony Edwards has been added to the Wolves’ injury report for tonight’s game against Memphis and is listed as questionable with that “right toe injury maintenance” label.

That injury when he was missing time was reported to be irritation from an infection on his toe. Not sure to what degree that has lingered. Could just be an opportunity to rest, considering the opponent is a tanking Memphis team.”
