Minnesota will be without its All-Star guard in Saturday’s game against the Raptors and beyond.
Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will not play in Minnesota’s game against the Raptors on Saturday and is in jeopardy of missing more time after spraining his ankle in the team’s Friday double-overtime loss to the Bulls.

The No. 4 seed Volunteers are moving on to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2019.
No. 4 seed Tennessee used a stout defensive effort and an incredible offensive performance from Olivier Nkamhoua to stifle No. 5 seed Duke 65–52 in second round action in the East region on Saturday.
Nkamhoua scored 27 points on 10-13 shooting and added five rebounds, as he took over the Round of 32 game with a dominant performance.

It was a day to forget for the Blue Devils.

It ended up being a historic loss for Duke, as the Blue Devils’ 52 points were tied for the lowest mark in an NCAA tournament game in program history, and their fewest in 43 years, according to ESPN Stats and Info.

Rick Barnes must have given one helluva pre-game speech, because the Vols came out playing like a team on a physical mission. Tennessee had a plan from the start, needing to win this game so an injured Zakai Zeigler could join them in his hometown of New York City. Well, mission accomplished for a team who has been through so much this season.

Hey, heads up San Jose Sharks fans: if you want game updates during the team’s Saturday night meeting with the New York Islanders, their Twitter account is not the place to go.
