Edwards is questionable with what the team is calling right shoulder soreness. He played 42 minutes in Thursday night’s overtime loss against the Nuggets before his ejection. There has been nothing to indicate that his shoulder soreness will result in an extended absence.
Conley played only 10 minutes against Denver, but his questionable tag is due to rest. At 38 years old, Saturday could just be a scheduled rest day for Minnesota’s veteran guard. The Wolves will likely look towards Bones Hyland, who continues to establish himself in the rotation, as Dillingham is also questionable due to an illness.
Shannon’s foot injury is something that he has dealt with all season. Wolves insider Jon Krawczynski mentioned how he thinks it could have had an impact on his defensive struggles. He has been limited to only 22 games this season, and he’ll now look to get healthy.
Saturday’s game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. CT at the Target Center. Brooklyn is 9-19 this season, and Minnesota might be shorthanded for the matchup.
