In a crucial encounter, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves achieved a significant victory, defeating the Golden State Warriors with a score of 117-93, thus tying the Western Conference semifinals series at 1-1. However, the triumph was marked by a moment of tension when Edwards suffered an injury to his left ankle.
The injury occurred in the second quarter, when Warriors player Trayce Jackson-Davis accidentally stepped on Edwards’ ankle after a screen.
Edwards, who was already playing with ankle discomfort after a previous injury, had to leave the game. Wolves coach Chris Finch expressed his concern about the situation.
Despite the injury, Edwards returned to the game after being attended to in the locker room. The player showed a remarkable recovery, scoring 13 of his 20 points in the second half and demonstrating great resilience.
Once we got to the third move on my ankle, I thought, ‘It’s starting to feel good. If we tape it up, I’ll see how it feels.’
