Julius Randle Sends Anthony Edwards Message After Injury During Warriors-Timberwolves

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry was missed mightily in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

After taking a 1-0 series lead on the road, the Warriors suffered a Game 2 loss with the superstar sidelined with a hamstring strain.

Simply put, there wasn't enough juice for Golden State as they were on the road taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

There was no standout play for the Timberwolves; the Warriors just didn't have enough offense without Curry on the hardwood as they suffered a 117-93 loss.

Even with Jimmy Butler, Golden State struggled to make real noise on that side of the basketball, and they were unable to lean into their brilliant defense like they did in Game 1.

There was a scary moment in the first half for Minnesota, though. Anthony Edwards -- who has been brilliant during the playoffs -- went down with an ankle injury after Trayce Jackson-Davis landed on him.

Edwards was able to work out during halftime and return for the second half, despite immediate concern.

Julius Randle sends Edwards message after injury

Many were shocked at Edwards' quick return to the court, considering how his ankle injury looked in real-time. Timberwolves star forward Julius Randle put it simply when asked about his return.

“He’s Wolverine," Randle told ESPN after the game.

It's yet to be seen if Edwards' injury will impact him after he's no longer playing. If swelling occurs, that could pose an issue as the two sides head to the Bay Area for Games 3 and 4.

His quick recovery and bounce back to be able to play after limping off the court was brilliant, though, as he helped his team fend off a Golden State comeback attempt.
