Anthony Edwards Questionable for Timberwolves vs. Lakers

The Minnesota Timberwolves will be without Anthony Edwards for their upcoming game against the Utah Jazz due to an automatic one-game suspension resulting from accumulating 16 technical fouls this season. Edwards was ejected during a recent loss to the LA Lakers after receiving two technicals, which has drawn criticism from Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch, who emphasized the need for Edwards to improve his conduct on the court. This incident marks a significant moment as Edwards becomes the first player since DeMarcus Cousins in the 2016-17 season to reach 16 technicals before March. Additionally, the Timberwolves are managing other injuries, with Rudy Gobert also ruled out, while Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo are sidelined. Despite these challenges, the Timberwolves remain hopeful after a recent overtime victory against the Thunder. They currently hold a 32-27 record, sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference standings.
