The Minnesota Timberwolves will be shorthanded for Sunday’s game against the Sacramento Kings in Minneapolis.
The Timberwolves will be without three-time All-Star Anthony Edwards (right foot soreness) and backcourt mate Mike Conley (right Achilles tendinopathy).
Fellow guard Bones Hyland will be available to play on Sunday versus Sacramento after sustaining a right knee contusion just 4 1/2 minutes into Minnesota’s 127-120 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Edwards and Conley each sat out that game.
Edwards, the No. 1 pick of the 2020 NBA Draft, boasts a team-best average of 28.7 points while starting all 20 games he has played this season.
Conley has contributed 5.3 points and 3.2 assists in 24 games (five starts).
Hyland, who started in place of Edwards on Friday, is averaging 4.3 points in 16 games (one start) this season.
