Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will not play in Minnesota’s game against the Raptors on Saturday and is in jeopardy of missing more time after spraining his ankle in the team’s Friday double-overtime loss to the Bulls.
Minnesota head coach Chris Finch told reporters Saturday that Edwards is still in his protective boot and that he is not aware of how long the 2023 All-Star will remain away from the court.
The 21-year-old sprained his ankle late in first quarter of the game Friday in Chicago. Edwards drove to the right wing where he was trapped by Alex Caruso and Nikola Vucevic. As he noticed the trap, Edwards made a cross-court pass to Mike Conley, who notched a three-pointer.
