PORTLAND, OREGON - OCTOBER 22: Anthony Edwards #5 of the Minnesota Timberwolves reacts during the second half against the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center on October 22, 2025 in Portland, Oregon.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been without franchise star Anthony Edwards for over a week, and while they come to grips with trying to push up the West standings without their top scorer and leader, they could be without another key player for their upcoming game.
According to the latest Timberwolves injury report, Ayo Dosunmu is listed as questionable with a calf injury against the Houston Rockets.
Minnesota will also be without Edwards and a few of their other two-way players, but with Dosunmu’s newfound importance to the team, missing him could be another serious blow for a team attempting to claim the highest seed possible in the standings for what they hope to be another playoff run.

BOSTON, MA – MARCH 22: Ayo Dosunmu #13 of the Minnesota Timberwolves celebrates a three-point basket behind Derrick White #9 of the Boston Celtics during the second quarter at TD Garden on March 22, 2026 in Boston, Massachusetts.
In the lead-up to the Timberwolves’ game against the Rockets, they announced that Dosunmu is questionable with a calf injury.
The trade deadline acquisition from the Chicago Bulls missed a few games in February with a quad injury, and has also dealt with calf and thumb injuries in his early tenure in Minnesota.
According to team insider Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, Dosunmu now popping up on the Timberwolves injury report could be a cause for concern.
“Ant remains out, but Dosunmu added with right calf, a concerning injury,” he wrote in a post on X, reacting to the team’s injury updates.
In his 18 games with Minnesota since the trade deadline, which includes four starts, Dosunmu is averaging 13.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.3 assists on 52.5% shooting in 27.7 minutes. He isn’t a top-tier playmaker, but has taken over that role in a sense for a Timberwolves team that has lacked a true point guard all season.
In his last three games, Dosunmu is averaging 19 points, nine rebounds, and 6.6 assists.
Missing him for the game against Houston, or potentially longer, could be a cause for concern, as Minnesota has the chance to either vault up to third or drop all the way down to sixth in the West standings as the final ten games of their regular season play out.
Anthony Edwards Injury Update
Edwards remains out with right knee inflammation, according to the team.
The initial recovery timeline was one to two weeks, but as Krawczynski previously reported, the 24-year-old is a ‘fast healer’ and that placing him on the injury report was likely a precautionary measure.
The 1-2 week timeline is intentional. Edwards has been a fast healer, so they are leaving open the possibility he returns sooner than later. But they’re not going to rush him. https://t.co/6bMvM2FHrW

“The 1-2 week timeline is intentional.Edwards has been afast healer, so they are leaving open the possibility he returns sooner than later. Butthey’re not going to rush him,”he wrote on X.
However, it’s since been a week, and there is still no return date set for the franchise star.
The latest news from the Timberwolves is that Edwards was on court with the team in a recent practice, but is still doing individual workouts as he ramps back up.
“Chris Finch says Anthony Edwards is still just doing individual work as he rehabs the knee,” Krawczynski wrote on Tuesday. “Hasn’t joined practice yet. No timetable yet either, but definitely not tomorrow v Houston.”

For now, any potential return date remains uncertain, but getting Edwards back healthy remains the top priority for the Timberwolves.
Both he and Dosumnu are the only full-time players listed on their injury report for the game against the Rockets.
