Anthony Edwards is projected to be out for at least a week due to his injury, so the Minnesota Timberwolves will probably be without one of their best players for their Monday night primetime game against the Brooklyn Nets. As per the official announcement, Edwards is now free to engage in contact activities on the court.
However, a week after straining his right hamstring, the three-time All-Star was not quite prepared to play. He has played in 79 games over the last three seasons, missing just three. That added to the unexpectedness and heartbreak of the Timberwolves' game on October 26. He appeared to be hurt when he departed the court early in the first quarter. The following day, it was discovered that the 24-year-old had strained his right hamstring.
Anthony Edwards’ hamstring setback forces extended absence as Timberwolves brace for crucial matches
As Edwards continues to advance through his recovery regimen, the Timberwolves confirmed that he would miss Monday's game against Brooklyn. After hosting Utah on Friday and visiting New York on Wednesday, Minnesota will play back-to-back road games at Sacramento on Sunday and Utah on Monday.
On October 26, during the Timberwolves' victory over the Indiana Pacers, 24-year-old All-Star guard sustained a hamstring injury. Before getting hurt, he only had three minutes on the court, scoring five points and grabbing a rebound.
About three minutes into the team's home opener against Indiana, Edwards was hurt. The sixth-year player will miss four games in a row, which is the most absences he has had in four seasons.
Shams Charania stated that the injury will keep him out for nearly two weeks when he tweeted about it the next day. The Timberwolves stated last week that Edwards' right hamstring strain was discovered during an MRI. After a week, the team intends to reassess him and further information will be provided at that time.
Edwards will be sidelined until at least Monday, when the Timberwolves play the Nets. Fans should be able to anticipate an update on how many games Edwards might miss while he recovers.
Understanding hamstring injuries: causes, symptoms, and recovery timeline for athletes like Anthony Edwards
A strain or rupture of the hamstring muscles in the back of the thigh is known as a hamstring injury. It typically manifests as an abrupt, intense pain while engaging in physical activity. The RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is frequently used to treat symptoms like pain, soreness, swelling, and bruising. For minor injuries, recovery takes a few days; for more serious tears, it can take several weeks.
A painful hamstring injury is more common in athletes and those who sprint, climb, jump, or lunge. Rest, ice, compression, elevation, and mild stretching that leads to simple workouts are all part of the treatment. The majority of treatments can be completed at home. Depending on how serious the injury is, healing could take a few days or several months. Hence, Edwards might be back soon.
