Minnesota Timberwolves All‑Star guard Anthony Edwards has been ruled out of action for the next one to two weeks after team doctors discovered inflammation in his right knee, the franchise announced ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Phoenix Suns. An MRI revealed the issue, and Edwards will be re‑evaluated in 7–14 days to determine his status moving forward.
Edwards’ absence arrives at a pivotal moment for the Wolves as they battle for playoff positioning in the Western Conference. Minnesota currently sits in the middle of the standings and has struggled recently, dropping four of their last five games. Without their leading scorer on the floor, the team will be tested in several upcoming matchups, including contests against the Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers, and Boston Celtics.
The 24‑year‑old has been one of the NBA’s most prolific scorers this season, averaging 29.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting efficiently from the field and from beyond the arc. Prior to this injury, he had started all 58 games in which he appeared.
Edwards had been listed as questionable in recent games due to knee soreness, and he played through pain in his last outing before being sidelined. The team emphasized that the inflammation—rather than structural damage—is the primary concern, and rest is expected to be a key part of his recovery strategy.
