Wolves' Anthony Edwards exits due to ankle injury
May 8, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (5) drives to the basket against the Golden State Warriors in the first half during game two of the second round for the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Target Center. Mandatory Credit: Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards left the Timberwolves' Thursday playoff game against the Golden State Warriors in Minneapolis after sustaining a sprained left ankle on a drive to the rim.
Edwards stayed on the court for a while after sustaining the injury, which happened midway through the second quarter when Warriors forward Trayce Jackson-Davis inadvertently stepped on his left ankle. The Timberwolves called a timeout and eventually Edwards limped slowly toward the locker room.
A short time later, Minnesota deemed Edwards' return as questionable.
Edwards had seven points in 15 minutes when he left injured. He led the Timberwolves in scoring with 27.6 points per game during the regular season.
Minnesota held a 56-39 halftime lead as it looked to even the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series at one win apiece.
