Injured NBA T-Wolves guard Edwards to miss at least a week
Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards will miss at least a week of the NBA season with a strained right hamstring suffered in a victory over Indiana, the Timberwolves announced on Monday.
Edwards played only three minutes and scored just five points against the winless Pacers on Sunday in Minnesota's 114-110 home triumph.
He was removed from the game and did not return due to right hamstring tightness.
An MRI exam on Monday at the Mayo Clinic showed the full extent of the injury.
Edwards will be re-evaluated in one week, meaning he will miss Minnesota's games at home Monday against Denver and Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers as well as Saturday at Charlotte.
The T-Wolves are off to a 2-1 start to the 2025-26 campaign.
The 24-year-old guard, the top choice in the 2020 NBA Draft, averaged 36 points in Minnesota's first two games of the season.
The three-time NBA All-Star, who helped the United States capture Olympic gold last year in Paris, averaged a career-high 27.6 points a game last season.
