Anthony Edwards Injury Update: Will Timberwolves Star Play Tonight vs. Nuggets?

However, Edwards missing the all-important game seems pretty unlikely. Having already lost the first game 116-105, Minnesota will be desperate to draw level. And their biggest hope for the same is none other than the 24-year-old. Despite not having the best of days, the 4-time NBA All-Star logged in for 38 minutes. Dropping 22 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists, Edwards did not give up the fight. 

However, if the Wolves have to negate Denver’s threat, the 2020 first overall pick needs to be back in his element. 

Anthony Edwards Is The Key To Success For Minnesota Timberwolves

Nikola Jokic was concerned about his team’s future ahead of the playoffs. But thanks to his incredible surge, the Denver Nuggets are now 1-0 up in the postseason. Thus, to put together a solid team like the Nuggets, the Timberwolves would need something special. Luckily, they do have a special one in their ranks. 

But Edwards’ performance in game 1 looked timid. Struggling with his shooting, the 24-year-old star went 7-for-19 from the field and 2-for-9 from the three-point range. However, his regular-season averages of 28.8 points per game tell a different story. With the chips being down, Minnesota will expect its best bet to find its lost rhythm soon.
