During the first half of Tuesday's Game 1 Western Conference finals loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards exited the game and briefly headed to the locker room after rolling his ankle when he landed awkwardly on a drive to the basket. Edwards later returned in the second quarter but then proceeded to score just five points after halftime en route to the 114-88 loss.
So, the question was on the minds of many: Did the ankle injury affect Edwards' performance, which included an 18-point effort on just 5-for-13 shooting from the field?
