The Minnesota Timberwolves may be more than just a little shorthanded Saturday night when they take on the Toronto Raptors.

On the heels of Friday's double-overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls, Minnesota has listed Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid, and Austin Rivers as questionable to play. Jaylen Nowell is doubtful, having missed nine straight games, and Karl-Anthony Towns remains out.

Edwards suffered a right ankle sprain in the first quarter of Friday's game and needed to be helped off the court. He did not return to the game and was seen wearing a protective medical boot on his foot when he returned to the bench.

"I couldn't walk on it, so I knew it was a wrap," Edwards told reporters post-game.

Gobert played 33 minutes against the Bulls and recorded a 21-point, 19-rebound double-double.

Toronto has listed Christian Koloko as questionable to play with a fractured nose. If he does return, it'll be with a protective mask on his face.

Dalano Banton and Otto Porter Jr. are both out for the Raptors.
