Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, sidelining him for up to two months, according to sources. The procedure aims to address a recently identified issue and prioritize his long-term health, with team officials stating that imaging showed the need for immediate action. Stephen Curry, Edwards' Olympic teammate, said he texted him and emphasized disciplined rehabilitation, noting the importance of staying healthy in the sport.
Edwards' absence impacts his contract timeline, as he is unlikely to meet the 65-game threshold required to qualify for a supermax extension worth $304 million. While he can still sign a lesser extension, the injury prevents him from achieving the necessary accolades this season. The Timberwolves, who built their offseason around him, now face a significant challenge in his absence.
