Timberwolves lose Anthony Edwards for 2 months after arthroscopic procedure on right knee: report

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is expected to miss two months after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee, according to ESPN. The absence is a major setback for the team, as Edwards had started the season in strong form and will leave a substantial gap in its offence.

Edwards played 41 minutes and scored 47 points against Cleveland on Monday, despite being listed as questionable, as Minnesota lost 127-125 in overtime. The injury may have begun during Sunday’s game against Toronto, when he was seen holding his knee. He missed 21 games last season with knee problems; Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland could take on larger roles during his recovery.
