Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is expected to undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee and could be sidelined for up to two months, according to multiple reports.
A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Edwards needs the procedure to alleviate knee issues and will miss several weeks. The source said a more precise timetable would be established after surgery. The Timberwolves had not publicly announced the operation as of Tuesday.
Edwards had appeared on recent injury reports with a right knee issue and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors. He appeared to experience discomfort after a dunk during Sunday’s win over Toronto, later standing in the corner while squeezing his knee.
The four-time All-Star opened the season averaging 33.3 points as Minnesota won three of its first four games. He scored 45 points against Miami in the opener and 47 in Monday’s loss to Cleveland. His 133 points over four games set a Timberwolves record for the start of a season, surpassing his own previous mark of 120.
If Edwards misses the full two months, he would likely be absent for about 25 games. He played 61 games last season, with knee-related issues accounting for much of his missed time.
