The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Miami Heat Tuesday at Target Center in Minneapolis.
The Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat face off on Tuesday and while the Timberwolves may be preparing to sideline their star guard, the Heat are in the opposite situation and will be welcoming their star guard back to the court.
Minnesota is fresh off a dominant win over the Washington Wizards and will be looking to carry the momentum of back-to-back wins into Tuesday. The Timberwolves have been firing on all cylinders lately and have scored 125 points or more in four of their last six games.
The Heat are coming off of a win of their own against the New Orleans Pelicans and with a much cleaner bill of health than what they've gotten use to working with this season, they'll be sure to put up a fight.

Anthony Edwards (foot) is QUESTIONABLE for Tuesday's game. Edwards was a late add to the Timberwolves' injury report due to right foot injury maintenance. Edwards has been on a tear lately, averaging close to 30 points per game and he just led Minnesota to victory over the Washington Wizards with a 35 point performance.
Terrence Shannon Jr. (foot) is OUT for Tuesday's game with a abductor hallucis strain in his left foot. The abductor hallucis is a muscle on the inner half of the foot that's responsible for flexing and moving the big toe while also supporting the arch of the foot. Shannon Jr. underwent a MRI that revealed the injury and is set to be re-evaluated in roughly a week.

Heat Injury Report

Herro has been out since De. 9 with a right big toe contusion, an injury that came just six games into his season after his debut was delayed while he recovered from ankle surgery, but the Heat star will finally make his way back to the court again against the Timberwolves.
