Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns injury status vs. Hawks
Edwards has missed Minnesota's last two games due to a lingering ankle injury. This is why it comes as no surprise that the 21-year-old is currently listed as questionable to play, per the Timberwolves PR team on Twitter. Edwards is currently dealing with a sprain in his right ankle, and at this point, it is clear that he has not yet recovered from the knock. Edwards was ruled out just before tipoff, and he will now miss his three in a row for Minnesota.
Towns, on the other hand, was also listed as questionable to play on the official injury report. This is despite the fact that multiple reports have already stated that he is set to return on Wednesday night. It's a bit intriguing that the Timberwolves have yet to confirm his availability with just hours remaining before tipoff. The good news for Timberwolves fans, however, is that head coach Chris Finch has now confirmed Towns' availability for Wednesday's clash. He is now officially good to go.
Nevertheless, with regard to the question of are Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns playing tonight vs. the Hawks, it's a “no” for Edwards, and a “yes” for Towns.
