Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards is scheduled to undergo medical testing on his left knee after sustaining an injury during the first half of Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Denver Nuggets, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The injury adds to a growing list of health concerns for the Timberwolves' backcourt, as both starting guards reportedly sustained injuries during the opening half of the critical playoff contest. Edwards had already been playing through a condition known as "runner's knee" in his other knee prior to tonight’s incident involving his left leg.
The severity of the injury and Edwards' availability for the remainder of the Western Conference series remain unclear as the team awaits further diagnostic results. Edwards has been the primary offensive engine for Minnesota throughout the postseason, making his health a pivotal factor in the team's pursuit of a deep playoff run against the defending champions.
The Timberwolves medical staff is expected to evaluate the star guard further following the conclusion of the game to determine the extent of the damage. This news comes at a high-stakes moment for Minnesota as they navigate a physical series against Denver.
