Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable to suit up against the Warriors, but the latest reports state nothing but optimism about his status.

Edwards originally went down early on in a game against the Bulls on March 17 and was clutching his ankle on the court in obvious pain. He was seen in a walking boot not too long after, but has worked hard to get back to basketball as soon as he can. The swelling has decreased with each passing day.

Minnesota faces a team that thrives at keeping opponents from scoring around the rim, which makes Edwards' abilities to create open shots from deep even more important. The former Georgia standout is averaging career-high marks across the board this season (24.7 points, 5.9 rebounds & 4.4 assists).
