Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards sustained a left knee injury during Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. Despite the injury, his knee remains structurally intact, though he has a bone bruise and hyperextension. This diagnosis suggests Edwards will likely be sidelined for several weeks. The injury occurred during Minnesota’s 112-96 victory, which gave them a 3-1 series lead. However, the team also lost starting guard Donte DiVincenzo to a torn Achilles tendon, ending his season and jeopardizing his participation in the next. Game 5 is scheduled for Monday night in Denver.
