Anthony Edwards will miss Minnesota's matchup against the Phoenix Suns with right knee soreness after an MRI revealed inflammation. The Timberwolves announced their star guard will undergo a re-evaluation in 1-2 weeks, creating uncertainty for the team's playoff push.

Minnesota sits sixth in the West but has lost four of five games, including Sunday's 25-turnover performance against Oklahoma City. Edwards contributed 19 points but appeared laboring with his injury down the stretch, missing the Suns contest as Minnesota tries to hold off Phoenix, which sits just two games back with the tiebreaker.

Edwards leads the Timberwolves with 29.5 points per game this season but already has missed 10 games. The 24-year-old can afford to miss just six more games before becoming ineligible for end-of-season awards. Minnesota faces a back-to-back set with Utah after Tuesday's game against Phoenix.
