Minnesota Timberwolves fans held their breath when All-Star forward Anthony Edwards suffered an ankle injury during the second quarter of Game 2 of the conference semifinals against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. The sight of Edwards hobbling off the court, unable to put any weight on his left leg as he exited the game and headed for the locker room did not lend much optimism to the hope that he'd be able to return for the second half.
Heck, even Timberwolves coach Chris Finch admitted he didn't think he'd see Edwards return.
