Anthony Edwards, Mike Conley Out for Timberwolves-Cavaliers Matchup

Anthony Edwards and Mike Conley have been listed as questionable for the Minnesota Timberwolves' upcoming game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to injuries. Edwards is dealing with right hip soreness, which has kept him out of recent games, while Conley has a right index finger sprain. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch indicated that Edwards' absence is precautionary and does not expect it to be lengthy, as he has been a key player, averaging 27.2 points per game this season. The Timberwolves, currently holding the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, will need both players to compete effectively against the Cavaliers, who boast the second-best record in the league. This situation follows a recent game where both players missed a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, leading to a shift in the starting lineup. The Timberwolves will face the Cavaliers in Cleveland before returning home for back-to-back games against the Bucks and Thunder.
