Report: Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards out multiple weeks with knee injury
The Minnesota Timberwolves will have to close out their series against the Denver Nuggets without their best player.
Anthony Edwards will miss multiple weeks due to a bone bruise and hyperextension of his left knee, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Sunday.
In a bit of positive news for Edwards, tests showed no ligament damage, per Charania.
Edwards’ left knee appeared to buckle as he landed after contesting a layup late in the second quarter of the Wolves’ Game 3 win over the Nuggets on Saturday.
He was helped to the locker room and the Timberwolves ruled him out for the rest of the game.
Edwards came into Saturday averaging 23 points and eight rebounds in the series, as the sixth-seeded Timberwolves look to upset the third-seeded Nuggets.
Minnesota leads the series 3-1, with Game 5 set for Monday.
The Timberwolves also lost starting guard Donte DiVincenzo for the season due to a torn Achilles in the same game.
