Anthony Edwards Injury Update: Timberwolves Star Day-to-Day
Nov 29 2023 149 PM EST
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will be listed as day-to-day as he recovers from a hip injury, the team announced on Tuesday. Edwards left Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets with a right hip injury and did not return.
Injury Details
Edwards appeared to lose his balance in the air and came down hard on his right hip. He immediately left the game and underwent an MRI, which revealed no structural damage.
The Timberwolves are hopeful that Edwards will be able to return to action soon, but there is no timetable for his return. He will be re-evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
Edwards' Absence
Edwards is averaging 24.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game this season. He is one of the most promising young players in the NBA and his absence will be a significant blow to the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves are currently 13-13, which is good for eighth place in the Western Conference. They will need to find ways to replace Edwards' production while he is out.
Potential Impact
Edwards' injury could have a significant impact on the Timberwolves' playoff hopes. They are currently in a tight race for a playoff spot and losing Edwards for an extended period of time could make it difficult for them to qualify.
The Timberwolves will need to find a way to adjust without Edwards and they will need other players to step up in his absence. If they can do that, they should still be able to compete for a playoff spot.
