Anthony Edwards Cleared to Play Wednesday Despite Illness

Anthony Edwards, initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to an illness, has been confirmed as available to play. Despite waking up unwell, the star guard is feeling well enough to suit up. Edwards has been a top fantasy performer, with at least 50 fantasy points in six of his past eight games and 30+ real-life points in five of his past six. In his last six games, he is averaging 31.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals across 37.8 minutes. He has previously expressed skepticism about playing in the All-Star Game, seeking rest.
