Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Returns to game vs. Lakers
Rotowire
Edwards (calf) has returned to Saturday's game against the Lakers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Edwards wasn't on the court to start the fourth quarter, but the star guard returned to action shortly after the final frame started. Even though he was diagnosed with cramping, his return to action means he should handle his regular workload as the Timberwolves' offensive barometer for the rest of the game.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Exits to locker room
Rotowire
Edwards left Saturday's game against the Lakers and went straight to the locker room due to an apparent calf injury, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Drops 43 points in season finale
Rotowire
Edwards racked up 43 points (15-31 FG, 7-18 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 win over the Jazz.
Edwards won a ruling that voided a suspension for the game, and he laid a hammer down on the Jazz with a tour-de-force performance. Edwards drilled seven shots beyond the arc, and the sharpshooting dynamo now leads the league with 320 made three-pointers. The fifth-year pro averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals this season and missed only three games, marking a fifth consecutive season without a serious injury.
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: 16th technical foul rescinded
Rotowire
The NBA announced Saturday that Edwards' technical foul at 6:29 remaining in the second quarter of Friday's game versus the Nets has been rescinded, meaning he won't be suspended for Sunday's regular-season finale against Utah.
Edwards being able to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale is actually very important for Minnesota, as a win could potentially mean that they are able to avoid the Play-In. The star guard is averaging 28.5 points across his previous two appearances against the Jazz this season.
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Draws suspension for season finale
Rotowire
Edwards accumulated nine points (4-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 117-91 victory over Brooklyn.
While it was a disappointing night overall for Edwards as he failed to score in double digits for the first time all season, his poor production was a secondary storyline. Midway through the second quarter, he was whistled for a foul and promptly got slapped with a technical foul when he complained about it. The technical was his 18th of the season, which comes with an automatic one-game suspension, assuming it doesn't get rescinded by the league office. Edwards will thus have to sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jazz, a game Minnesota needs to win in order to escape the Play-In Tournament and claim the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. Prior to Friday's dud, Edwards had scored at least 20 points in seven straight appearances, averaging 30.4 points, 5.6 boards, 4.7 three-pointers, 4.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over that stretch.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Pours in 44 points in victory
Rotowire
Edwards supplied 44 points (13-19 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 11-13 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 38 minutes during Thursday's 141-125 win over the Grizzlies.
The superstar racked up at least 40 points for the eighth time this season, which ranks third in the league behind Giannis Antetokounmpo (13 games) and Nikola Jokic (10 games). Edwards was extremely efficient against Memphis, and he sank at least seven triples for the eighth time on the season as well. Moreover, the 23-year-old guard recorded a block and a steal for the fourth consecutive contest. Edwards has been impressive of late, logging 25 or more points in each of his last six appearances, including three outings with 34-plus points.
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Leading scorer in tough loss
Rotowire
Edwards totaled a team-high 25 points (10-27 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to Milwaukee.
The fifth-year guard scored at least 25 points for the fifth straight game, but it wasn't enough as Minnesota squandered a 20-point lead heading into the fourth quarter and dealt a blow to the team's chances of escaping the Play-In Tournament. Edwards has been doing it all for the Timberwolves down the stretch -- he's recorded at least one steal and one block in three straight contests, and over his last 10 appearances he's averaging 27.0 points, 4.8 boards, 4.4 assists, 3.5 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Rotowire
Edwards provided 37 points (12-21 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 win over Philadelphia.
Edwards didn't contribute much in other categories outside of the scoring column, but there's no doubt fantasy managers won't complain after a 37-point, six three-pointer performance in which he also delivered a couple of highlight-reel sequences. Edwards has reached the 25-point mark in his last four games and appears to be heading into the postseason with plenty of momentum.

If Edwards is unable to return, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaylen Clark are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Rotowire

Edwards turned in his seventh double-double of the season in a narrow win that went to double overtime. Edwards jumped back to 30-point production after a five-game span during which he averaged only 21.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. The Timberwolves went 3-2 during the minor slump, proving that the team can afford some mediocre results from the dynamic slasher.

Rotowire
Edwards totaled 25 points (9-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Sunday's 123-104 win over Detroit.
Edwards delivered a solid showing in this huge win for Minnesota, snapping a string of three straight games with 20 or fewer points. Despite increased attention from opposing defenses, Edwards is still averaging a solid line of 26.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game over his last 10 contests, but he's shooting just 32.7 percent from three in that span.
