Just three minutes into the Minnesota Timberwolves’ home opener, Anthony Edwards had to leave the court with a hamstring injury, leaving his status uncertain. Head coach Chris Finch offered no update after the game, and his cautious approach has added to the concern.
Teammate Naz Reid later expressed optimism, suggesting Edwards could be ready for Monday’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets, but this remains unofficial.
Despite the early exit of their star, the Timberwolves held on for a 114-110 victory over an injury-depleted Indiana Pacers squad. Julius Randle led the team with 31 points and 6 assists.
Edwards had been off to a scorching start this season, averaging 36.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game, while shooting 53.2% from the field and 50.0% from three-point range. His health will be a major factor for Minnesota moving forward.
