Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards Cleared for Contact, Still Out vs. Nets

Team officials cite a stepwise return plan despite his clearance for contact.

Overview

  • Minnesota announced Nov. 3 that Edwards has been cleared for contact basketball activities but remains unavailable for game action.
  • Edwards will not play Monday against Brooklyn as the team continues its one-week re-evaluation cadence.
  • Video from morning shootaround showed Edwards jogging lightly and taking shots with staff monitoring his work.
  • The All-Star sustained a right hamstring strain after roughly three minutes in the Oct. 26 home opener against Indiana.
  • Reports have framed a two-week absence as likely, and the Wolves have gone 1-2 without him while Mike Conley and reserve guards take on larger roles.
