The timing of Anthony Edwards’ surgery is starting to make more sense

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will miss roughly two months after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee. Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly clarified that the surgery could not have occurred during the offseason, explaining that recent imaging revealed changes after Edwards felt discomfort following a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Writer Eamon Cassels argues that the Timberwolves did not err in their timing, emphasizing trust in the franchise's award-winning medical staff. Edwards reportedly aggravated his knee in early-season games, prompting the team to prioritize his long-term health despite his strong scoring start to the season.
