Is Anthony Edwards playing today against LA Clippers? Latest on All-Star guard's status after mid-game exit last game (March 3)

Anthony Edwards is questionable to play against the LA Clippers on Sunday afternoon. The Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star exited Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings at halftime to attend the birth of his child with his girlfriend, Jeanine Robel.

Edwards isn't on the Timberwolves' injury report citing personal reasons but for an injury that's bugged him over the past two games. He has played through it. The expectation is that he will be available against the Clippers, too.

Edwards has missed only three games this season, averaging 26.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists, shooting 46.6%, including 38.1% from the 3. He has guided the Timberwolves to a Western Conference-best 42-18 record.
