Anthony Edwards to Be Sidelined for Two Months

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will go under the knife after pain in his right knee. The arthroscopy procedure aims to repair the damage.

Experts expect Edwards to be unable to play for approximately two months. This timeline means he is set to return to the court around the start of the new year.

The young star got off to a strong start this season. The player is averaging 33.3 points per game and has scored over 40 points in two games. He opened the season with 45 points against the Miami Heat. Most recently, he scored 47 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the highest total of the season. That game was the Timberwolves' only loss this season.

With Edwards out, Ayo Dosunmu is expected to start alongside LaMelo Ball at shooting guard. Jaden McDaniels, Jonathan Kuminga and Rudy Gobert will complete the starting five.
