Wolves’ Edwards Faces Two-Week Sideline Due to Injury
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will be sidelined for two weeks due to a right hamstring strain. This injury occurred during a game against the Indiana Pacers on October 26, 2025, where he did not return after the first quarter.
Details of the Injury
Edwards sustained the injury shortly after a fast break attempt, where he took significant contact. Initially described as hamstring tightness, an MRI later confirmed the strain. The Timberwolves will reevaluate him in one week.
Impact on the Team
Coach Chris Finch acknowledged the impact of Edwards’ absence. “Of course we’re going to miss him,” Finch stated. He emphasized the need for the team to adapt and share the responsibility during this challenging time.
Next Steps for the Timberwolves
In the wake of Edwards’ injury, veteran guard Mike Conley has stepped into the lineup. However, Finch clarified that the team’s approach will be collaborative rather than reliant on a single player. “We don’t need anyone to try to step into his shoes exclusively,” he noted.
Edwards’ Career Highlights
- Anthony Edwards is a three-time All-Star.
- He is beginning his sixth season in the NBA.
- To date, Edwards has played in 426 out of 445 possible games, including the playoffs.
The Timberwolves will aim to maintain their competitive edge during Edwards’ absence, relying on their deep roster to fill the gap. As the team prepares for the upcoming match against Denver, all eyes will be on how they manage without one of their key players.
