In a shocking turn of events during Game One of the NBA Conference Finals, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards suffered a potentially serious ankle injury, leaving fans and teammates on edge. Edwards, known for his resilience and toughness, appeared to twist his right ankle after a drive to the basket, prompting immediate concern as he limped off the court and into the locker room.

The incident unfolded just minutes into the first quarter, where Edwards had already made a significant impact, scoring six points and drawing multiple fouls. Commentator Doris Burke even dubbed his ability to get to the line as earning him the title of a “free throw merchant,” highlighting his s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s as a proficient free throw shooter. However, the excitement quickly turned to anxiety as Edwards fell to the floor, visibly shaken after the awkward landing.

As the game continues without him, questions loom over the severity of the injury.

His teammates have jokingly referred to his ankle as “bionic,” but this latest twist has cast a shadow over the Timberwolves’ hopes in the playoffs.

With the second quarter set to begin, updates on Edwards’ condition are eagerly awaited by fans and players alike. The Timberwolves desperately need their star player to return to the court if they hope to make a deep playoff run.
