Attention, danger for the Minnesota Timberwolves! As the end of the regular season approaches, the slightest injury can mark a turning point in the race for the Playoffs (or even the Play In). In the loss to the Chicago Bulls (131-139), Wolves also lost Anthony Edwards.
After an innocuous pass in the first quarter, the back had a bad reception on his ankle. Immediately, the 21-year-old talent cried out in pain as he stayed on the ground. Unable to set foot on the ground, the Atlanta native was able to count on Karl-Anthony Towns to get to the changing rooms.
“I wasn’t able to walk at all, so I knew it was serious. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow,” simply replied Anthony Edwards in front of the press.
With the images, it is most certainly a sprain for the Wolves prodigy. But now, a big question arises: how serious is this injury? Three weeks before the end of the regular season, the slightest concern can be synonymous with a finished exercise.
And as much to say it right away, it would be a huge blow for Minnesota. Without him, a qualification for the Playoffs would be very hard to obtain directly. And even for the Play In, the current 8th in the Western Conference remains under threat from the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Utah Jazz or the New Orleans Pelicans.
