Edwards' Knee Buckles: Wolves Star Injured
26 Apr
Summary
- Anthony Edwards sustained a left knee injury Saturday.
- The star player was hurt blocking a shot in Game 4.
- This injury adds to the Timberwolves' playoff concerns.
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards suffered a left knee injury during Saturday's Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets, forcing him to leave the game. The incident occurred in the second quarter when Edwards' left knee buckled as he landed after attempting to block a shot. He was unable to return to the game.
This injury adds to the Timberwolves' mounting concerns, as they had already lost starter Donte DiVincenzo in the first quarter due to a lower right leg injury. Edwards' absence is a critical blow, given his role as the team's leading scorer and emotional leader. He had been managing discomfort in his right knee for weeks but had recently improved.
Edwards did not rejoin his teammates on the bench for the second half, and Mike Conley started in his place. The team has not provided further specifics on the extent of Edwards' left knee injury.
