Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Warriors. The 22-year-old is under the weather. However, Edwards is one of the most durable players in the NBA, so it would be surprising if he didn't suit up against Golden State. That said, if he doesn't play, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 3.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in two starts this season, could see streaming interest from fantasy managers, even though he'd be a risky option in any format.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) didn't play in Thursday's preseason win over the Mavericks. The 22-year-old sprained his ankle at practice in Abu Dhabi during the week. Fortunately, the injury isn't considered severe, with head coach Chris Finch hoping the All-Star will suit up for the rematch on Saturday. Edwards, who hasn't played less than 72 games in a season since entering the league, was a top producer for Team USA during the FIBA World Cup. He averaged a career-high 24.6 points last season and is predicted to be even more productive for the Timberwolves in 2023-24, meaning fantasy managers could hear his name in the MVP conversation at some point throughout the season.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was the lone American named to the All-Tournament team for the FIBA World Cup. The rising star averaged 18.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game while clocking 26.0 minutes per contest. His overall field goal percentage wasn't bad as he finished at 47.5%, but his three-point shooting left a lot to be desired at 31.1%. Overall, it seemed to be a good experience for Edwards as he tried to lead a team as the go-to guy like he did for a lot of the Timberwolves season when Karl-Anthony Towns was out.

Team USA guard Anthony Edwards was the main driver of the offense in the US National Team's loss to Lithuania on Sunday. The Timberwolves star posted 35 points on 14-for-26 shooting overall and 5-for-13 from three while adding two assists, one rebound, three steals, and one block. Edwards tried to take over wherever he could after a disaster of a first quarter from the entire team. He was showing flashes of the way he played for Minnesota while Karl-Anthony Towns was out for most of the year.

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards put up a team-high 22 points in 19 minutes as Team USA demolished Jordan 110-62 at the FIBA World Cup Wednesday. After struggling for efficiency in the previous matchup against Greece, Edwards shot 8-for-16 from the field and hit three of his five attempts from deep. He was also one of the best rebounders in the game with eight boards, and Edwards wrapped up the easy day at the office with four assists. The Timberwolves star was named "the guy" by Team USA head coach Steve Kerr before the tournament started and Edwards has indeed led the charge for the Americans by scoring a team-high 16.3 points through three games.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards scored 13 points for Team USA in the win over Greece. While Edwards and Jalen Brunson tied for the most points out of the starting lineup, the former struggled shooting by going 4-for-11 from the field. That said, the 22-year-old is still as potent as ever. He averaged 24.6 points in 79 games for the Timberwolves in 2022-23, although many expect he'll be even more productive this year. USA will look to keep its undefeated streak alive against Jordan on Wednesday.

Team USA guard Anthony Edwards played relatively well during Saturday's FIBA win over New Zealand. The 22-year-old, who head coach Steve Kerr recently referred to as "the guy," scored 14 points, finishing behind only Paulo Banchero, who had a game-high 21 points. Edwards did have five turnovers and missed all of his three attempts from deep. However, things will likely improve once the Americans acclimate to international rules. Nonetheless, Edward is coming off a remarkable 2022-23 campaign, averaging a career-high 24.6 points. Although the 22-year-old benefitted without Karl-Anthony Towns on the floor for most of the season, there's no reason why he can't be even more productive during the 2023-24 campaign.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards had another productive performance for Team USA, scoring 34 points in the win over Germany on Sunday. Edwards has played well in exhibition play ahead of the FIBA World Cup, prompting an endorsement after the game from head coach Steve Kerr. "He's unquestionably the guy," said Kerr. "You can see he knows it. But now the team knows it, and I think the fans see it. And he's such a dynamic young player. I think he's taking a leap." The 22-year-old finished last season by averaging a career-high 24.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. He has also played at least 72 games every year since entering the league in 2020, including 79 last season. If Kerr is accurate with his assessment, Edwards could catapult into the MVP conversation in 2023-24.

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards once again led Team USA in scoring when the Americans remained a perfect 4-0 in pre-World Cup action with a 108-86 win over Greece. The 22-year-old posted 21 points in just 17 minutes, shooting 8-for-16 from the field and 3-for-7 from downtown. 12 of Edwards' points came inside the first four minutes of the second half. The Timberwolves star polished off his line with four rebounds, one assist, and one steal. Based on his play this summer, Edwards looks set to dominate at the World Cup and appears ready to elevate his game further in the NBA next season.

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards was Team USA's top scorer with 15 points Saturday in an easy 92-62 victory over a Luka Doncic-less Slovenia team. The Americans produced a very balanced effort, as all 12 players scored and nine finished with at least six points. Edwards also had 15 points and was tied for the team-high mark in Team USA's first pre-World Cup exhibition game versus Puerto Rico. He appears full of confidence, which should be a great thing for the national team and also the T-Wolves when the new NBA campaign eventually beings. "I can score the ball;" Edwards said following the Puerto Rico game. "I don't care about the leader. That's what I do, I score the ball. So, why would I come out here and try to do something else?" Edwards netted 24.6 points for Minnesota last season, and he looks set for a great World Cup as well.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards agreed to a five-year, $260 million max extension with the organization. The 21-year-old is one of the brightest young stars in the game, so it's not surprising to see the T-Wolves lock him up. Edwards averaged career-highs in points (24.6), rebounds (5.8), assists (4.4) last season. He'll be the team's centerpiece for years to come. Fantasy managers should expect Edwards to continue being a reliable fantasy asset next season as the Wolves attempt to reshape their roster.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards and forward Jaden McDaniels are likely to receive extension offers from the organization. Team president Tim Connelly said the team will have discussions with them as soon as they can. He continued by saying both players will receive significant extension offers. It appears the Wolves are serious about locking up two of their young stars. It's worth noting that Edwards was recently cited for third-degree assault. It remains to be seen if that will have an impact on upcoming contract discussions.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards was cited for third-degree assault. Following the Game 5 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, the 21-year-old allegedly swung a folding chair that struck two female employees. Fortunately, the injuries suffered by the women weren't severe. Edwards, who averaged a career-high 24.6 points during the 2022-23 campaign, is scheduled for court on June 9 in Denver. If convicted, he could face jail time and a fine. The Timberwolves declined to comment on the situation.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards had another productive performance in the first-round series against Denver on Sunday, helping the team to stave off elimination with a 34-point effort. Edwards has led the Timberwolves in scoring in each of the four games so far and did it this time with 12-for-27 shooting from the field. He hit 5-for-16 from downtown and added six rebounds and five assists to his line with two steals and three blocks. The 21-year-old is the third-best scorer in these playoffs with a 32.3-point scoring average, and he's been a monster across the board, getting 4.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.0 blocks and 2.3 steals.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards led all scorers with 36 points in Friday's Game 3 against Denver, but it still wasn't enough for the team to get on the board in the series. Edwards' efficiency dropped significantly compared to his 41-point effort in Game 2, but he still shot reasonably well, finishing 10-for-22 from the field. He was 3-for-11 with the three-ball and shot 13-for-15 at the line, wrapping things up with seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block. The 21-year-old is averaging 31.7 points in the series but hasn't been able to save the team from a 3-0 deficit, which must be very frustrating for him. Edwards and the T-Wolves now face an elimination game Sunday.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards turned in his best performance of the postseason so far despite suffering a nine-point loss to the Denver Nuggets in Game 2. The up-and-coming star ended the game with 41 points, four assists, two rebounds, two steals, and three blocks on 14-for-23 shooting and 6-for-10 from beyond the arc. The issue for Minnesota is that they can't get everyone playing at a high level at the same time. They'll head back home down 0-2 in the series, but Edwards hitting his stride could be a good sign that they will avoid a sweep in the first round.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards scored a game-high 33 points on 13-for-25 shooting in Saturday's 151-131 win over San Antonio. He hit 4-for-9 from deep and completed his line with five rebounds, three assists and two steals in just 25 minutes of action. That's now three 30-point efforts in five games for Edwards, and he should aim to record another one Sunday against New Orleans, as the Timberwolves still have something to play for and will be aiming to get home-court advantage for the play-in tournament. Edwards has crushed it against New Orleans this season, averaging 32.0 points with 6.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards notched his 22nd 30-point game of the season on Sunday in a two-point loss to the lowly Portland Trail Blazers. He was the only player to show up on the team as not a single teammate of his scored more than 13 points. Edwards finished the game with 37 points, six assists, five rebounds, and one steal on 15-for-30 shooting overall and 3-for-8 from beyond the arc. The former number-one pick is currently ranked in the top 40 in nine-category formats.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Trail Blazers. The 21-year-old has battled an illness of late, although it hasn't kept him off the floor. Minnesota is also trying to make the postseason, so Edwards will likely be out there. But if he can't suit up, Jaylen Nowell (knee) and Austin Rivers (illness) could see extra work. However, both men are also questionable, so there's a chance Nickeil Alexander-Walker makes an appearance. That said, Alexander-Walker is far from a dependable DFS option, even if he cracks the starting lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young guard has played through an illness in each of the last two games. The assumption is that Edwards would suit up once again on Sunday, but it depends on how he's feeling. That being said, fantasy managers will have to check back on Sunday for another update. His absence would mean increased playing time for Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
