Anthony Edwards Injury Update: Minnesota Timberwolves Clear Star For On‑Court Return

The Minnesota Timberwolves have cleared All-Star shooting guard Anthony Edwards for on-court basketball practice activities.

Edwards hasn’t played since March 15 because of right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome.

One of the best scorers in the NBA, Edwards has appeared in 58 games this season. He’s averaging 29.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 49.2% from the field, 40.2% from beyond the arc and 79.6% from the free-throw line.

A four-time All-Star, Edwards was the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Georgia. He holds career averages of 24.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. The talented guard has led the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals two years in a row.

Minnesota lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 conference finals and fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2025 conference finals.

The Timberwolves signed Edwards to a five-year, $244 million extension in 2023. Edwards is making $45.5 million this season.
