Anthony Edwards, injured: Timberwolves on alert
Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards will be out for several weeks due to a bone contusion and hyperextension in his left knee. The news, which worries fans, was confirmed after medical examinations were performed.
The injury occurred during the fourth game of the Western Conference first-round series against the Denver Nuggets. Edwards had to leave the game before halftime, generating uncertainty in the team.
The player, who was already experiencing discomfort in his right knee, was injured when he incorrectly planted his leg after a play. Fortunately, tests ruled out major damage to the ligaments, which is a relief for the franchise.
Despite Edwards’ absence, the Timberwolves lead the series 3-1 against Denver. The fifth game is scheduled for this Monday. The hope of having Edwards back in the postseason will depend on the team’s progress in the playoffs.
The situation is complicated for Minnesota, as in the same game they also lost Donte DiVincenzo, who suffered a tear in his Achilles tendon.
The absence of Edwards, a key piece in the team’s offensive scheme and one of the league’s most outstanding players, represents a hard blow to the Timberwolves’ aspirations in this postseason.
