Anthony Edwards cleared to play for Timberwolves despite knee concerns

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has been upgraded to available for Monday night’s matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The announcement came approximately 78 minutes before tip-off, addressing earlier concerns that he might miss the game due to right knee injury maintenance.

Edwards’ availability follows a strong performance in Minnesota’s recent 117-94 victory over the Toronto Raptors, where he scored 26 points. During that game, he appeared to show discomfort with his right knee following a collision and while landing from a dunk, leading to his initial questionable status. While his return provides a significant boost to the Timberwolves as they attempt to extend their 3-0 start, his knee condition remains a point of monitoring.
