Anthony Edwards Back In Action Against Phoenix
Anthony Edwards (calf) will play on Sunday against Phoenix. He wasn't available for Friday's loss to the Jazz because of a calf injury, marking his third absence of the 2024-25 campaign. Terrence Shannon Jr. entered the starting lineup, finishing with an impressive 17 points, five assists and four boards. But with Edwards and Julius Randle (groin) back in the mix, Shannon likely won't be as productive, although he's played well enough to at least see some minutes on Sunday night.

Anthony Edwards Uncertain To Play On Monday
Anthony Edwards (thumb) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Pacers. He has a laceration on his right thumb, although it's unknown how severe the Injury is. With the postseason right around the corner, the team may take the cautious approach by keeping him off the floor to avoid further damage. If that's the case, Julius Randle, amassing a team-high 20 points in Friday's win over the Pelicans, should see an uptick in production. Jaden McDaniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Donte DiVincenzo figure to also see more scoring opportunities.
