Anthony Edwards - Drops career-high 55 points in loss Edwards finished Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Spurs with 55 points (19-33 FG, 9-16 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 40 minutes.

Impact Edwards returned to the hardwood following a two-game absence due to right foot injury maintenance, and he turned in an impressive performance on the offensive end. The Timberwolves were down 25 points at halftime, but the superstar guard scored 39 of his career-high 55 points in the second half, including 26 in the final frame, to give Minnesota a shot. While his team didn't come away with a win, Edwards reached the 50-point threshold for the first time this season and for the third time in his career. He also knocked down a season-best nine triples. The 24-year-old has scored at least 23 points in all seven of his appearances this month, averaging 31.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per contest during that span.

Naz Reid - Won't return Saturday Reid (shoulder) will not return to Saturday's game versus the Spurs.

Impact Reid will end his evening with zero points (0-1 FG) and one steal over five minutes. Joan Beringer started the second half of Saturday's game, so he stands to benefit if Reid needs to miss time with the shoulder injury.

Naz Reid - Questionable to return Reid is questionable to return to Saturday's game against San Antonio due to left shoulder soreness.

Impact Reid appears to have dodged a significant injury, but his return Saturday is currently up in the air. He missed his only shot attempt in the first quarter before heading to the locker room with the shoulder issue.

Naz Reid - Exits with injury Reid went to the locker room during the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Spurs with an undisclosed injury, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reid checked out at the 6:58 mark and immediately went to the locker room. The nature of his injury is unclear at this time, and he can be considered questionable to return until further notice. Rudy Gobert (hip) is out, so it would be up to Joan Beringer to step up if Reid is done for the night.

Mike Conley - Headed to bench Conley will come off the bench Saturday versus the Spurs.

Impact Anthony Edwards is back from his rest day, so Conley will head back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Conley owns averages of 4.0 points and 2.5 assists in 16.4 minutes per game.

Rudy Gobert - Won't go Saturday Gobert (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Although he has been able to carve out a regular spot in the rotation, Hyland's production has been sporadic, at best. In 16 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 8.5 points, 3.6 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 17.9 minutes per game.
