Anthony Edwards is questionable to play on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. However, Edwards will likely play. He's carried a questionable status for several games but suited up more often than not. The two-time NBA All-Star has missed only three games this year, averaging 26.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists.
The Timberwolves are already missing Karl-Anthony Towns, while Rudy Gobert is also questionable. Amid these injuries, they are contending for the #1 spot in the West, which may push Edwards to suit up against the Pistons.
