Anthony Edwards’ injury news brings a “likely” return timetable
The Minnesota Timberwolveslike many other teams in the NBA at the beginning of this season, they had to deal with significant injuries. The the most worrying was Anthony Edwardswho injured his right hamstring three minutes into a 114-110 win against the Indiana Pacers on Oct. 27.
The Timberwolves have since responded with two losses and a win against the Charlotte Hornets, although there could now be some encouraging news regarding Edwards’ return.
“He’ll be re-evaluated tomorrow, but probably another week,” John Krawczynski of the Athletic he wrote in response at the request of a fan on Ks.
Edwards’ injury followed a season opener in which Edwards scored 41 and 31 points in back-to-back games and produced elite point guards. Initial reports described the problem as hamstring tightness before team testing confirmed a right hamstring strain. In three games so far this season, Edwards is averaging 25.7 points, four rebounds and two assists while shooting over 60% from the field.
In his absence, 38-year-old Mike Conley has stepped in to start games. Additionally, Donte DiVincenzo, Bones Hiland, Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. they enjoyed more playing time.
However, Edwards’ impact is not limited to scoring goals. He is the Timberwolves’ leader both on and off the court and continues to be their primary scorer and creator.
Regardless, Minnesota’s struggles in Edwards’ absence remain concerning, to say the least. They had clean health aside from their talisman, but still struggled on the offensive end consistently in his absence.
Edwards’ ability in transition gives them a big outlet that helps especially in high-pressure situations, and fans will be hoping he can return without further delay. As things stand, it looks like ANT will play the Sacramento Kings on November 10th, although further updates could change the proceedings.
