NEW YORK, NEW YORK – NOVEMBER 05: Anthony Edwards #5 of the Minnesota Timberwolves warms up before the game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on November 05, 2025 in New York City. <\/p>\n

The Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> have announced<\/a> that Anthony Edwards<\/a> will make his injury return against the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> in their Monday night game.<\/p>\n

Edwards has been out for nearly two weeks with what was officially described as right knee inflammation, but will return after missing six games for the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

Head coach Chris Finch also announced that Edwards would be on a minutes restriction, but getting him back is big news for Minnesota.<\/p>\n

The Monday night game against Dallas was previously expected to be Edwards\u2019 injury return date, as he was upgraded to questionable before the contest. It was the first time that he wasn\u2019t officially listed as \u2018out\u2019 since he was originally sidelined with the injury.<\/p>\n

There was also hope over the weekend that Edwards would return against the Detroit Pistons<\/a>, and while he was reportedly making progress, he was later ruled out for that game.<\/p>\n

However, Edwards is now set to make his return, playing in his first game since March 15.<\/p>\n

According to Finch, Edwards is set to have a minutes restriction<\/a>, which is typical for a player ramping back up from an injury.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Edwards being sidelined with right knee inflammation was never considered to be too serious of an injury. According to team insider Jon Krawcyznski of The Athletic, the franchise star is a \u2018quick healer\u2019 and the that that he was put on the injury report in the first place was a precautionary measure in order to make sure he was healthy for another deep postseason run.<\/p>\n
