Edwards (hip) practiced on Monday, Pierre Noujaim of Fox 9 reports. Despite going through practice, Edwards is day-to-day according to coach Chris Finch and should be considered questionable for Wednesday against the Spurs. Edwards has missed the past two games for Minnesota, but he's trending in the right direction. In his absence, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Troy Brown have been getting extended run.

Philadelphia, PA

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles head of security was thrown out of Sunday's clash with the San Francisco 49ers after 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw stuck his hand in Dom DiSandro's face during an altercation in the third quarter. DiSandro was near where Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith was thrown down hard on the sideline that resulted in a Greenlaw penalty.

Highsmith (back) will not return to Saturday's game versus the Pacers. Highsmith left the game after just three minutes due to back spasms and wasn't able to return. He should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto. Kevin Love and Caleb Martin could pick up some extra run if Highsmith misses additional time, and it's worth nothing that Bam Adebayo (hip) has already been ruled out for Wednesday.

When a bus from Texas dropped off some migrants Monday morning in front of the Colorado Capitol, Evan Dreyer from the mayor’s office blasted the atrocity. “These are folks who have come from the Texas border after long journeys, and they are not prepared for cold weather,” Dreyer told the Denver Post. “And to drop them off like that, just randomly, in the cold — in the freezing cold — is inhumane, dangerous and it puts their lives at risk. It’s shameful.”

Wagner racked up 31 points (9-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 12-14 FT), seven rebounds and eight assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 130-125 victory over Washington. Wagner led the Magic in scoring and carried Orlando to a harder-than-expected victory against a struggling Wizards team. Wagner has been on a roll of late, scoring at least 30 points in three straight contests while reaching the 20-point plateau seven times across his last 11 appearances. Paolo Banchero opened the season as the Magic's primary scoring threat, but Wagner has elevated his offensive game as well.

Fischer surfaced with a shorthanded goal in Saturay's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens. Fischer poked the puck into the cage after goalie Jake Allen lost track of it on the heels of a Michael Rasmussen breakaway attempt. The Chicago native is up to two goals and four assists through 22 games. However, the Wings aren't asking much of Fischer in his debut season with the Original Six club; he's averaging 11 minutes of ice time, including 0:32 on the penalty kill, as a fourth-line forward.

Ammendola converted all three field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13. Ammendola nailed three chip shots from 29, 38 and 38 yards and recorded a second double-digit performance in four weeks as a replacement for Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps). It's looking like Fairbairn may return Week 14, so Ammendola's stretch of fantasy relevance may be coming to end.

Irving produced 10 points (3-15 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Friday's 108-94 loss to Memphis. With Luka Doncic (personal) out of the lineup, Irving was riding solo as the top option in the Mavericks' lineup, but instead of stepping up, he shrunk down and stumbled to a season low in points while also failing to drain at least one three-pointer for the first time in 2023-24. The veteran guard had hit multiple threes in 11 straight games before Friday, and Irving is more than capable of bouncing back in a big way, whether Doncic is back on the court or not.

Tate is healthy and participating in a normal throwing program this offseason, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. Tate was limited to just 13 rehab appearances this season because of a right forearm issue, but the Orioles are confident the reliever has finally put the injury behind him. A healthy Tate -- who posted a 3.05 ERA over 67 relief appearances in 2022 -- could provide a big boost to a Baltimore bullpen which will be without Felix Bautista (elbow) in 2024.

Taylor is expected to require 3-to-5 weeks to recover from the right thumb surgery he underwent Wednesday in Los Angeles, sources tell Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The estimated recovery timeline provided by Rapoport differs slightly from the one Colts owner Jim Irsay initially offered up Tuesday, when he said the star running back would be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Because it's not a given that Taylor will need to miss at least four games while recovering from the procedure, the Colts will hold off on placing him on injured reserve with the hope that he'll be ready to play Week 16 in Atlanta or possibly even Week 15 versus Pittsburgh. At least for the next two games, however, Zack Moss is primed to step in as the Colts' lead back, a role he handled between Weeks 2 and 4 while Taylor was completing his recovery from January ankle surgery. Moss played more than three-fourths of the Colts' offensive snaps in each of those three contests while averaging 24.0 touches per game, so he could end up handling one of the heavier workloads among all backs in the league for however long Taylor is sidelined.
