Anthony Edwards injury: Wolves star to miss 2 months after knee surgery

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will be sidelined for eight weeks to undergo surgery on his right knee. Despite battling discomfort during the preseason, the guard delivered high-scoring performances in his first two appearances, including a 45-point outing in the opener and 47 points during a recent overtime defeat against Cleveland.

The organization opted for the procedure now to ensure his availability for the postseason. This recovery timeline effectively removes him from MVP contention due to the league's 65-game requirement.

The early season has been marked by a wave of significant injuries across the league, affecting players such as Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace, Jalen Duren, Jaren Jackson Jr., Paolo Banchero, and Jalen Suggs.
