3 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves small forward Anthony Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Oklahoma City as he continues to battle left knee tendinopathy. Jaden McDaniels slid into the starting five in Edwards' place Tuesday, while Malik Beasley and Jordan McLaughlin also snagged an additional handful of minutes. Edwards has been in a sizable slump from the field over his last five outings, shooting just 29.1 percent overall, including 10.7 percent from behind the arc. Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell will carry elevated offensive upside for as long as Edwards and his 21.4 PPG average are unavailable; his next chance to suit up comes Saturday vs. the Trail Blazers.--Jesse Borek
