Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable due to right foot injury management, the same issue that has followed him for much of the past month.The timing stands out. Edwards played heavy minutes the night before and still dropped 35 points against Cleveland. He has dealt with this foot problem for weeks, but it has not slowed his production when he has been on the floor.
How the Foot Issue Has Played Out
Edwards first showed up on the injury report earlier this month with right foot soreness. He missed a few games in December, then returned and immediately took on his usual workload. Since then, his name has appeared repeatedly as questionable.That included games against Miami on January 6 and Cleveland on January 8 and 10. Each time, he played. Each time, he scored more than 33 points. The Timberwolves again listing him as questionable just hours before tip-off against San Antonio has raised attention, especially with this game coming on the second night of a back-to-back.

Fantasy and Betting Notes for Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs (January 11, 2026)
Fantasy managers should keep Edwards active but watch for late updates. If he sits, Conley’s role grows and Reid becomes a strong option for points and rebounds. From a betting angle, Edwards has often played through questionable listings, but managing a foot issue on a back-to-back makes this one less certain. Minnesota is still favored by around 5 to 7 points, though that line could move once his status is confirmed.
