Julius Randle returned to the Timberwolves’ lineup on Sunday in Phoenix after missing Minnesota’s last month of action.

Those injuries have been the latest problem for Minnesota in a disappointing follow-up to last year's trip to the Western Conference finals. The Timberwolves went 5-8 with Randle sidelined and are now 33-29 and hold the No. 8 seed in the West following Sunday's win.

Anthony Edwards scored 44 points, Julius Randle added 20 in his first game since missing more than a month with an injury and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Phoenix Suns 116-98 on Sunday night.
