Anthony Edwards Injury Update What Happened to Anthony Edwards?
Anthony Edwards left the court early during the Timberwolves game on Sunday with hamstring tightness. He did not come back for the rest of the match. The team says his issue is with his right hamstring. They pulled him out after just three minutes. He scored five points and grabbed one rebound before exiting.
Coach Chris Finch did not give more details after the game. This lack of clarity makes fans uneasy. Normally, hamstring injuries do not heal overnight. Some expect Edwards to miss more time. But teammate Naz Reid said he thinks Edwards will be fine and could play the next day. That’s just one teammate’s opinion, not an official update.
Edwards has been key for the Timberwolves so far this season. He scored 41 points in the opener against the Trail Blazers. He also put up 31 against the Lakers in his second game. Before Sunday’s injury, he was carrying a heavy scoring load.
Minnesota needs him healthy. The hamstring might keep him out for a few games if the team wants to be cautious. Hamstring injuries are unpredictable. They can linger, especially for fast-moving guards like Edwards. The risk of re-injury is real if he comes back too early.
There’s no official return timeline yet. Edwards’ next chance to suit up is in Monday’s match against the Denver Nuggets. But as of now, it’s unclear if he will play. Minnesota may turn to other guards like Bones Hyland or Terrence Shannon Jr. to fill the gap while he recovers.
Anthony Edwards’ status is still unknown, but tightness in the hamstring usually means he might need at least a few days of rest. Check for updates before the next game. But right now, Timberwolves fans will have to wait and see if their star gets back on the floor soon.
