Anthony Edwards Injury Update: Is Edwards Playing vs. Mavericks?
The Timberwolves listed Edwards as questionable for Monday’s game vs. the Mavericks with right knee soreness.
Edwards has missed Minnesota’s last six games due to knee soreness. The 2026 NBA All-Star Game MVP last played on March 15 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, when he scored 19 points on 6-of-17 shooting in 37 minutes.
According to The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski, “signs were pointing” towards Edwards returning for Monday’s game in Dallas. However, he still has to participate in the team’s shootaround on Monday and respond well before being cleared to return to the lineup.
Edwards is in the midst of a career year in 2025-26. The four-time All-Star is averaging a career-best 29.5 points (third in the NBA), 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting a career-high 40.2% from 3-point land.
If Edwards isn’t able to take the court, who could see elevated production when it comes to NBA projections?
