Anthony Edwards has only missed three games this season and has stayed relatively healthy for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's having the best season of his career as the Timberwolves try to stay atop the Western Conference, but is Edwards playing tonight against the Dallas Mavericks?
According to Minnesota's latest injury report, only one player is set to miss the game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Jaylen Clark is out as he continues his recovery from a ruptured right Achilles tendon suffered in his final season at UCLA.
That means Edwards will be playing against the Mavericks and trying to start a new winning streak. The Timberwolves are coming off a comfortable 122-95 win over the Houston Rockets to snap a two-game losing skid to start the year.
