Minnesota Timberwolves star told ‘this is now your team’ with Anthony Edwards injured

Chandler Parsons says the Minnesota Timberwolves are Julius Randle’s team ‘for the next two weeks’

Without Edwards, the Timberwolves are going to be in tough as they already lost a game without him to the Denver Nuggets.

The offensive production will dip without Edwards, so they need players to step up.

Chandler Parsons is looking at Julius Randle to rise to the occasion for the next few weeks.

Randle has shown he can have big performances and now he must step up and carry the Timberwolves on offense.

“Julius Randle, this is now your team for the next two weeks. He’s got to get going.

“He’s got to get busy, uber aggressive, and I think he will.”

DeMarcus Cousins says Anthony Edwards could be out longer than two weeks

With Edwards’ right hamstring strain, it could linger and result in him missing more than two weeks.

Players have to be cautious with hamstring injuries, especially Edwards, who is an explosive athlete.

DeMarcus Cousins thinks Edwards’ current injury will keep him out longer than two weeks. He also advised for the Timberwolves’ young players to step up in his absence.

“I could see this going longer than two weeks.

“You want to make sure he’s 100 per cent healthy moving forward this season.

“It’s going to be big for those young guys to step up.”

This could be a great opportunity for Jaden McDaniels to break out on offense as he had a season-high 25 points in the loss to Denver.
