Antony Edwards left knee pain wasn’t anything new. He had been dealing with it — it being patellar tendinopathy — for a large portion of the season, but recently the pain became too much to bear.
“It’s something that you can play through,” the Minnesota Timberwolves guard told Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune following Wednesday night’s 132-102 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. “Certain people can play through it, but if you don’t have a certain tolerance for pain, you can’t play through that.”
Edwards’ pain caused him to miss the four games prior to Wednesday when he returned to score 16 points in 25 minutes.
