Coming off a 2OT loss last night, Minnesota is listing Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid & Austin Rivers as questionable for tonight’s game in Toronto. Nowell is doubtful & Towns is still out. Koloko (broken nose) is questionable for the Raps but expected to play in a mask. – 2:08 PM

With a twist of an ankle, the Timberwolves season was thrown into jeopardy. How long Anthony Edwards is out remains to be seen. But the fight to save their season starts right now. theathletic.com/4321907/2023/0… – 2:15 AM

Mike Conley on what he will need to do on O if Anthony Edwards is to miss time:
“It’s just going to have to be more aggressive, more assertive, and just get the ball in my hands a lot more… I won’t always make eight threes, but continue to shoot, make plays and be aggressive.” – 12:19 AM

Rudy Gobert on what Mike Conley provided once Anthony Edwards went down (eight made 3s) and what they’ll need from Conley if Ant is to miss time:
“I love it, I want him to have that mindset if guys go under, punish them right away. Can’t go under on you. Too good of a shooter.” pic.twitter.com/pfZJeTPSYH – 12:15 AM

Rudy Gobert on Anthony Edwards’s ankle injury:
“He hasn’t missed a game all year, so you know he’s not making shit up. He’s really hurt. I don’t know how bad it is, but I hope we can get him back really soon.” – 11:46 PM

Anthony Edwards said briefly after the game that he was going to be fine. But the question is how long he may be out even if the injury isn’t severe. Hard to tell as of now. – 11:24 PM

I THINK Anthony Edwards is back out on the bench in a red hoodie to watch the last few minutes. Was limping when he came out. At the other end of the floor so can’t see for sure. – 10:02 PM

Christopher Hine: Conley on Edwards: “His attitude is so infectious on our team. To see him in so much pain, you look around the team, it’s a blow. You know everybody took a second to realize what just happened and he probably won’t be back in the game. Don’t know how long he’s going to be out.” -via Twitter @ChristopherHine / March 18, 2023
Timberwolves All-Star Anthony Edwards was helped off the court after suffering a right ankle injury during the first quarter of Friday night’s 139-131 loss to the Chicago Bulls in double overtime. Edwards landed awkwardly and collapsed to the floor after leaving his feet to deliver a pass to Mike Conley for a 3-pointer with 4:01 remaining in the quarter. Edwards screamed in pain and immediately began grabbing his right ankle after the play and didn’t put any weight on the leg as a team trainer and injured teammate Karl-Anthony Towns helped carry him toward the locker room. -via ESPN / March 18, 2023
