NEW YORK – Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves got some encouraging news Sunday, as Edwards seems to have avoided a long-term absence after incurring a right ankle injury Friday in a game in Chicago.
Edwards, who didn't play in Saturday's loss to Toronto, is unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Knicks, but he will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis. The team is hopeful he can return sooner than later, a source confirmed.
Of course, there isn't much time left in the season, as the Wolves have just 10 games remaining, but the Wolves are optimistic Edwards will be back for some portion of those 10 games.
