Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) downgraded to out
Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) is out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
www.nbcsports.comHere’s the latest on Anthony Edwards’ injury status.
- Edwards is listed as week-to-week with a left knee injury (hyperextension with a bone bruise) after Game 4 vs. Denver. He has not been ruled out for the entire series, but his return timeline remains uncertain as Minnesota progresses through the playoffs.[1][2]
- The Timberwolves and ESPN/NBA reporting indicate he’s out for several weeks, with the team monitoring symptoms and healing progress as they plan game-by-game adjustments.[2]
- Recent updates through early May suggest there hasn’t been a definitive return date, and Minnesota has signaled a cautious approach given the knee’s bone bruise and the need to preserve him for later rounds if possible.[1][2]
