Will Anthony Edwards play tonight against the Utah Jazz? Latest update on the Minnesota Timberwolves star's injury report (January 30, 2025)

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is not listed on the injury report ahead of their matchup against the Utah Jazz on January 30. The Timberwolves, currently 26-21, are looking to secure a key win against the struggling Jazz (10-35) at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.


While Anthony Edwards remains available, Minnesota will be without Terrence Shannon (ankle) and Donte DiVincenzo (toe). Additionally, Naz Reid is listed as day-to-day with an illness. Despite these absences, the Timberwolves still have a strong core featuring Edwards, Julius Randle, and Rudy Gobert.
Anthony Edwards has been leading the team offensively, averaging 27.5 points per game over the last 20 games. His shooting from beyond the arc has been particularly lethal, knocking down 3.9 three-pointers per contest. Minnesota’s ability to maintain its offensive rhythm will be crucial, especially with DiVincenzo and Shannon sidelined.


The Utah Jazz are dealing with more significant injury troubles. Taylor Hendricks has been ruled out for the season with a fibula injury, while Cody Williams will miss the game due to an ankle issue. John Collins (illness), Johnny Juzang (hand), and Walker Kessler (shoulder) are all questionable.
Collin Sexton continues to be a bright spot for Utah, averaging 19.7 points and 4.9 assists in his last 20 games. However, the Jazz have struggled defensively, allowing 118.5 points per game—ranking 28th in the league.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, who rank fourth in the NBA in defensive efficiency, will look to capitalize on Utah’s defensive struggles. Edwards’ scoring ability, along with Gobert’s dominance on the boards, could give Minnesota the edge. The team has also been solid from three-point range, averaging 15 makes per game, with Edwards leading the charge.
For Utah, the availability of key players like Collins and Kessler could impact their ability to compete. Without them, the Jazz will need a big performance from Sexton and Lauri Markkanen to stay in the game.
