Seeing Anthony Edwards on the Timberwolves’ injury list has become common for fans. The prodigious young star’s status was recently updated to ‘Questionable’ ahead of tonight’s game against the Chicago Bulls. According to the injury report, Edwards is reportedly recovering from a left middle finger dislocation, which he picked during the game against the Utah Jazz a few weeks back.

Ant has been a regular feature on the injury report, primarily due to minor ailments. In the Timberwolves’ last game against the Denver Nuggets, the young guard logged 39 minutes on the floor, finishing with 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists in a 111-98 win against the defending NBA champions.
Bulls list Alex Caruso (left ankle sprain) and Ayo Dosunmu (illness) questionable vs. Timberwolves. For Minnesota, Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert and Jordan McLaughlin are also questionable.

Besides Anthony Edwards, Wolves center Rudy Gobert has also been listed as questionable due to a left rib injury. Furthermore, guard Jordan McLaughlin is also listed on the injury list because of a shoulder contusion, while Karl-Anthony Towns remains out due to a knee injury. On the side of the Bulls, their star guard Zach LaVine has been ruled out for the season due to a foot injury.
How will the Minnesota Timberwolves fare against the Chicago Bulls tonight?
The Minnesota Timberwolves might want to avenge their previous 129-123 overtime loss in Chicago tonight against the Bulls. The Wolves are sitting comfortably as the first seed in the Western Conference and have won seven of their last ten outings. Going forward to the postseason, the Timberwolves show extreme potential to run deep in the playoffs led by the explosive guard Anthony Edwards and an all-round Center Towns.
Since the Wolves will be playing this game at home, this could be another win for Minnesota against a Bulls team with a fluctuating form. Chicago is one of the few teams in the league that can match up to the size of the Timberwolves with players such as Andre Drummond and Nikola Vucevic. Perhaps, if the Wolves can hold a big lead against the Bulls like their previous matchup, this could be another win for the team.
