Coach Chris Finch said before the game the injury \u201chasn&#8217;t calmed down to the point where he&#8217;s able to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Backup point guard Mike Conley was also sidelined for Minnesota&#8217;s game against Sacramento, the 19-year veteran&#8217;s second straight absence due to a right Achilles injury. The short-handed backcourt meant another start for Bones Hyland, who has recently worked his way into the rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Edwards missed four games earlier this season with a strained right hamstring. The three-time All-Star, who is eighth in the NBA with an average of 28.7 points per game, has already tallied his most absences since the 2021-22 season when he played in 72 games.<\/p>\n<p>With the Timberwolves in a slower stretch of the schedule, Edwards could get eight days of rest while only missing the two games.
