It’s Timberwolves vs.
Cavaliers again! Yes, once again the Wolves face the Cavs, but the question on everyone’s mind is: will Anthony Edwards take the court? With back-to-back games ahead, Minnesota’s injury report is key. Edwards has been a cornerstone for the team’s season, and his presence could make all the difference. With fans eager to see if he’ll make it to the court or not, let’s find out.

Our main question is about

Anthony Edwards, so let’s answer this. Well, it looks like the Wolves are on the safer side as their star is out of the injury report and will play against the Cavs. Meanwhile, there are three players on the injury report.

First, is Donte DiVincenzo who is here with a piece of good news. In their recent game against the Warriors, the hooper sustained a left great toe sprain, which caused him to have to sit out against the

Knicks. But, against the Cavs, he is on “day-to-day” status. So, it leaves us with a hope to see him on-court this time.

On the other hand, Leonard Miller is also on

“day-to-day” status due to an illness and is doubtful if he will make it on-court against the Cavs. But, it looks like the Wolves’ injury report has someone out.

Terrence Shannon Jr. sustained a foot injury with the Iowa Wolves in the G-League against Rio Grande Valley in the third quarter. However, according to the medical team, the hooper will have to be out for 2-4 weeks. And with that, let’s look into what’s happening with the Cavaliers.

First, we have Issac Okoro who suffered a right AC joint injury in the 3rd quarter against the Brooklyn Nets on Dec. 16. Because of this, the hooper had to miss a couple of matches and is on

“day-to-day” status against the Wolves. Meanwhile, Evan Mobley is listed as questionable due to right calf soreness which was sustained against the Miami Heat.

Well, they are left with their last two injuries, both of which are

“out.” Their wing Emoni Bates is out, having undergone arthroscopic surgery Monday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, which he sustained against the Grand Rapids Gold. Last is Luke Travers, who is also “out,” but the reason is not out yet. However, with the injury reports complete, let’s take a closer look at the depth charts for both teams heading into this matchup.
