Anthony Edwards Sidelined for Weeks With Left Knee Bone Contusion

Minnesota must try to finish its series against Denver without its leading scorer.

Overview

  • Reports say Anthony Edwards has a bone bruise and hyperextension in his left knee with no ligament damage, and he is expected to miss several weeks.
  • The injury occurred during Game 4, a Timberwolves win over the Nuggets that put Minnesota ahead 3-1 in the first-round series.
  • The team has not announced a timetable, but multiple outlets report a multi‑week absence based on medical evaluations shared with reporters.
  • Game 5 is in Denver and could be a closeout for Minnesota without Edwards on the floor.
  • The setback comes after Donte DiVincenzo tore his Achilles in Game 4, straining a backcourt that relied on Edwards’ 28.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in the regular season.
