Edwards (illness) will play Sunday against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will both be available for the regular-season finale, as Minnesota attempts to secure the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Across his first seven appearances in April, Edwards has averaged 26.0 points, 5.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 33.4 minutes per game.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Poor shooting display Friday
Rotowire
Edwards had 14 points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Friday's 109-106 win over the Hawks.
The shooting woes have become a persistent issue with Edwards over the last few weeks, and while the star guard remains productive, his numbers have plummeted of late, which is not a good sign for a Timberwolves team looking to make a deep playoff run. Over his last 10 games, Edwards is averaging 23.8 points per game while shooting just 43.3 percent from the field, a figure that is nearly three ticks lower than his regular-season mark.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Paces team with 25 points
Rotowire
Edwards had 25 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to the Nuggets.
Edwards played close to his seasonal averages in the loss, although his secondary numbers dipped a bit. His 15-point third quarter helped the Timberwolves maintain a slim lead, but he failed to score in the fourth quarter where they were outscored 22-7. Edwards and company still have a shot at the top seed, but they'll need to win their final two games and get help from the Nuggets. They also need to stay ahead of the Thunder to earn second place, so Edwards should carry a full load in the final week.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Scores season-high 51 points
Rotowire
Edwards logged 51 points (17-29 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 11-11 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 win over Washington.
Edwards delivered his best offensive performance of the season in a game where the Timberwolves needed him, as his 51-point outburst lifted Minnesota to a tight win over the Wizards. This was Edwards' 29th game with 30 or more points and his fourth with 40 or more points, so his scoring prowess has been on full display. Edwards is ending the regular season on a strong note, averaging 28.6 points per game since the beginning of May.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Gets little support in loss
Rotowire
Edwards amassed 17 points (6-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 97-87 loss to Phoenix.
Edwards was the only Minnesota starter to log a double-digit point total in the low-scoring affair, as the Suns held the Timberwolves to 38 percent shooting from the floor in the loss. Although Edwards' line suffered from poor shooting, the team effort was a bit of a head-scratcher, especially after taking Toronto to task with a 48-point victory Wednesday night. Edwards and company will face the Lakers on Sunday evening in what could be an early playoff preview.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Shooting woes continue Tuesday
Rotowire
Edwards closed with 21 points (5-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 win over Houston.
Edwards continues to put up strong numbers every time he steps on the court, but his recent performances have been subpar compared to his season-long numbers. He's failed to surpass the 25-point mark in six consecutive games, but perhaps even more concerning, he's shooting a mere 38.6 percent from the field and 18.8 percent from deep during that stretch.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Double-double not enough Sunday
Rotowire
Edwards closed Sunday's 109-101 loss to Chicago with 22 points (9-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block in 36 minutes.
Edwards didn't have his best shooting display Sunday, and uncharacteristically, he missed all five of his shots from beyond the arc, making it the fourth time over his last five games in which he's failed to hit two or more threes. The final stat line was decent, but Edwards can produce more efficient displays regularly.

Rotowire
Edwards closed with 23 points (7-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds and eight assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 victory over Golden State.
The fourth-year guard led Minnesota in scoring on the night as he continues to take on a bigger distribution role in the offense.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Pulls down 13 boards
Rotowire
Edwards provided 16 points (6-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Friday's 104-91 victory over the Cavaliers.
Edwards struggled from the field and finished with more shot attempts than points scored, but he salvaged his fantasy output oddly, as he grabbed double-digit rebounds just for the sixth time this season. He ended just one board shy of matching his season-high mark in that department. Edwards saw the end of a four-game streak of scoring 30 or more points, but he should be able to bounce back when facing the Warriors on Sunday.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Scoring tear continues
Rotowire
Edwards notched 30 points (13-26 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 115-112 loss to the Nuggets.
Although Edwards carried a questionable tag earlier in the day, Edwards ended up with 38 minutes of court time. The dynamic playmaker registered his fourth consecutive 30-point game and came very close to a triple-double. The Timberwolves will lean on Edwards down the stretch as they continue to deal with Karl-Anthony Towns' (knee) missing output.
