Anthony Edwards Has His Injury Status Up in the Air For Wolves-Warriors
On March 18, during a 114:104 victory against the Utah Jazz, Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves made headlines after hitting John Collins. The “slam dunk of the year” led experts like Paul Pierce to believe that the athletic ANT is the face of the league.
However, Antman dislocated the middle finger of his left hand during the hit. Despite being on the injury reports, Edwards played in the final two games and was productive during both contests.
As for the upcoming game against the Golden State Warriors, according to the official injury report, is listed as “Questionable”. His injury has been called a dislocation and sprain of the left middle finger.
On his YouTube account, Brian Sutterer MD broke his wound.
Aside from Edwards, Rudy Gobert is also “questionable,” while Karl Anthony-Towns remains “out.” Despite Towns’ absence, the Wolves have maintained their campaign at a high level. ANT has been responsible for creating the winning environment and has improved its game without KAT.
The incredible athlete has appeared in 67 of a possible 70 games for the Wolves and without KAT, his presence will be even more important. As the regular season moves into the final stages, the Wolves have a decisive finish at their disposal.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on a wild ride
The race for first place in the Western Conference has been red hot since the start of the season. Currently, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 respectively. Meanwhile, the Wolves are 1.5 games out of the top two spots.
Their 48 wins are not far behind the Thunder’s 49 and the Nuggets’ 50.
With 12 games remaining, if they can finish strong, they still have a strong chance at the best record in the Western Conference. In any case, they are destined to finish in the top three and will have the advantage of playing at home at least during the first round.
Considering the West is loaded from 7th to 10th, it won’t be a surprise if the team faces a team loaded with superstars like the Mavs, Lakers, Suns, Kings or Warriors. Therefore, even a first place does not guarantee an easy path in the opening round, especially considering that the team they will face will be hardened after the Play-in tournament.
Therefore, it is imperative that Anthony Edwards and Co. receive a positive update on Karl Anthony-Towns during the final week of the regular season. It’s going to be difficult from the beginning in the playoffs.
