Edwards' Return vs Hornets: Timberwolves' Playoff Hopes Hang in Balance

0:00It's April 5th. Welcome in. This is Charlotte Hornet's News Today, where your team meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. Timberwolves fans are holding their breath heading into tonight's matchup against the Hornets. With Star Anthony Edwards listed as questionable on the injury report, he just came back from a stint on the sidelines and dropped one of his weakest games this season and a loss to the Sixers on Friday. Adding to the drama, Jaden McDaniels is officially out with Patelotendinopathy in his left knee, as Charlotte's Musa Diabate looks probable, despite a left ankle sprain. The hope is, Edwards shakes off that rust and brings his usual fire. Right now, Minnesota sits sixth in the Western Conference standings, a spot they might actually prefer if things shake out right down the stretch. The Lakers, holding third, just got hit with injuries to Austin Rees and word on Lucodon Chiche missing time too, which shakes up the playoff, picture. The Denver's breathing down LA's neck, so the wolves can't afford to slack.

1:00They need every win to stay in the hunt. Officials say keep pushing regardless. Tip-offs at 7 p.m. Eastern, so tune in and see if Edwards lights it up or Charlotte pulls an upset.
