Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards injured his left knee and needed help to get to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday night's home playoff game against the Denver Nuggets.

Edwards leaped to try to block a shot and landed awkwardly on his left leg. He immediately dropped to the court and clutched his knee.

Moments later, team officials helped Edwards hobble off the court and toward the locker room. He put little weight on his left leg as he exited.

Edwards had five points and three rebounds in 18 minutes. The Timberwolves led the best-of-seven, first-round Western Conference series 2-1 going into Saturday's Game 4.

A four-time All-Star, Edwards led the Timberwolves with 28.8 points per game during the regular season. He averaged 23 points per game in the first three contests of the postseason.

Edwards was the second Timberwolves player to leave Game 4. In the first quarter, guard Donte DiVincenzo left because of a non-contact injury on his right leg.
