Anthony Edwards injury update: Timberwolves star leaves playoff game
A potentially bad injury day for the Minnesota Timberwolves might have just gotten a lot worse.
All-Star guard Anthony Edwards appeared to suffer a left knee injury Saturday, April 25 during Game 4 of Minnesota’s first-round series against the Denver Nuggets.
The play came with 2:45 left in the first half, when Edwards jumped vertically to defend a Cameron Johnson layup during a fastbreak drive. When Edwards landed, his left knee appeared to hyperextend as his weight came down, and he immediately grabbed at the area, writhing in apparent discomfort. Trainers rushed over as Edwards popped up to his feet. The trainers helped Edwards hobble off the floor, as he did not put any weight on the injured leg.
He went straight into the locker room.
This injury came just one quarter after Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo suffered a non-contact lower leg injury that knocked him out of the game.
