Anthony Edwards had 'successful' knee surgery, Timberwolves announce
Anthony Edwards underwent an "arthroscopic procedure for debridement" on his right knee, per the Minnesota Timberwolves.
On Thursday, October 29, the Minnesota Timberwolves announced that their star player, Anthony Edwards, had undergone successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee to remove thickened or dead tissue. Dr. Craig Bennett from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, performed the procedure. The Timberwolves stated that the four-time All-Star is expected to make a complete recovery, although he was listed as questionable on NBA injury reports the day prior.
It was believed that Edwards might miss two months of action, which could potentially prevent him from being eligible for end-of-the-year awards like All-NBA, Defensive Player of the Year, and MVP, as well as affect his chances of securing a supermax contract. Despite these challenges, Edwards remained in high spirits, joining forces with his right-hand man, Slick Nick Maddox, for a promotional video.
The duo hosted a "tryout" for a twin, aiming to reach the 65-game threshold required for award eligibility and a supermax contract. The video included humorous clips and jokes about the Timberwolves' Western Conference rivals, the Denver Nuggets. This article was originally published on USA TODAY.
