Anthony Edwards’, the shooting guard of the Minnesota Timberwolves, status in today’s game is questionable, as the NBA star is currently suffering from a right hip injury that he got in the Tuesday game with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Anthony Edward: His Status So Far
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been performing exceptionally well this season, winning three games in a row. Anthony Edwards has been a standout player, averaging a career-high 26.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 17 games, including 1.3 steals per game while shooting 46.4% from the field and 37.7% from the three-point arc. Unfortunately, Anthony Edward had to miss two games after his serious injury on the previous Tuesday. His last match was with the OKC Thunder, which his team won with a close score of 106-103.
Minnesota Timberwolves Performance So Far
Anthony Edwards, undeniably, has been a crucial player for the Timberwolves this season. Initially, he was an injury replacement in the team, but he gradually made his way to the All-Star Leap. However, despite Anthony’s absence in the previous two games, the Minnesota Timberwolves did not compromise with their performance, as evidenced by their winning streak, placing them in first rank in the Western Conference 2023-24.
