The injury report remains crowded with some of the Wolves' top players before Thursday's matchup with the Lakers. Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Edwards are officially questionable, while Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle remain out of the lineup.

DiVincenzo participated in practice on Wednesday, as he looks to play in his first game since Jan. 15. He has been dealing with a left big toe sprain and there seems to be some optimism that he could be making his return Thursday night.

Gobert has missed the last three games with back spasms, and Chris Finch told reporters that Gobert underwent treatment Wednesday afternoon and will be out of the lineup against L.A.

There was optimism that Randle and DiVincenzo could return to the lineup on this road trip, but Randle is further away in Minneapolis receiving treatment for his groin injury.

Edwards's questionable tag does not seem to be anything serious after he played 36 minutes in the Wolves' miraculous comeback over the Thunder on Monday night.

Minnesota and Los Angeles will tip off at 9:30 p.m. CT at Crypto.com Arena. It will be the Wolves' first game against the new-look Lakers since they acquired Luka Doncic. The West Coast road trip will continue Friday against Utah and Sunday against Phoenix.
