Anthony Edwards Cleared for Contact as Timberwolves Weigh Next Step in Hamstring Return

Minnesota is following a conservative, one-week re-evaluation plan after the guard’s right hamstring strain.

Overview

  • The Timberwolves announced Nov. 3 that Edwards was cleared for contact basketball activities but remained out for the game at Brooklyn.
  • Head coach Chris Finch said Nov. 4 that Edwards practiced and is progressing well, though he would not say if the guard will play Wednesday at the Knicks.
  • Team PR issued a formal update on Nov. 3 outlining his status and ongoing return-to-play work.
  • The team previously set a one-week re-evaluation timeline, and outside reports have floated a possible Nov. 10 target, which has not been confirmed.
  • Edwards was injured three minutes into the Oct. 26 opener, and Minnesota moved to 4-3 with Monday’s win as veterans and reserves absorbed larger roles in his absence.
