Edwards Returns: Timberwolves Host Thunder

Star player Anthony Edwards is set to rejoin the Minnesota Timberwolves for their matchup against the formidable Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night. This marks his return after a three-game absence, during which he managed a lingering foot injury. His presence is a significant boost for the Timberwolves as they face the league's top team.

Despite Edwards' return, the Timberwolves will continue to be without key personnel. Backup point guard Mike Conley is out for his fourth consecutive game due to Achilles issues, and reserve guard Jaylen Clark, known for his perimeter defense, is also unavailable due to illness. These absences continue to test the team's depth.

On the opposing side, the Oklahoma City Thunder also have injury updates. Center Isaiah Hartenstein is expected to play after sitting out their last game with a foot injury. However, their bench depth will be tested as forward Jaylin Williams is out for a second straight game with a heel issue, and guard Aaron Wiggins is also sidelined with an adductor problem.
