Anthony Edwards will miss 2 weeks with a hamstring injury
Recently, the Minnesota Timberwolves he got scared during a game with the Indiana Pacers when he is a star Anthony Edwards exited early with an apparent hamstring injury. The The Timberwolves are done holding on to win against a The Pacers team that was in a similar vein, but after the game, all fans could wonder about was Edwards’ injury status.
On Monday, the team finally got an update, and it it was not positive.
“Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will miss two weeks with right hamstring strain, sources tell ESPN,” ESPN NBA Insider Shams Charania reported on X, formerly Twitter.
It’s certainly a disappointing early-season update for a Timberwolves team looking to build on the last two years, both of which ended with gentlemanly sweeps in the Western Conference finals.
The good news for the Timberwolves is that news of Edwards’ injury comes in what would appear to be a relatively easy stretch of their schedule, with games against the Charlotte Hornets, Brooklyn Nets, Los Angeles Lakers and more contests against the Utah Jazz set to take place during Edwards’ absence.
Edwards is one of multiple stars in the league currently out with injury, including Lakers stars LeBron James and Luka Doncic, among others. The Timberwolves have a relatively deep squad, but they lost some wing depth this offseason when Nikhil Alexander-Walker left in free agency.
In Edwards’ absence, the Timberwolves will likely lean more on younger players like Terence Shannon Jr., who had some moments for them during last year’s playoffs, to pick up some slack.
Anyway, the Nuggets take to the floor Monday night at home against the Denver Nuggets at 9:30pm ET. Next up is another home game against the Lakers on Wednesday night.
