Key Points:
- Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and is expected to miss up to two months, targeting a return in December.
- The announcement comes shortly after Edwards scored 47 points in an overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, highlighting his ability to perform despite knee issues.
- Edwards has been dealing with inflammation and previous injuries to the same knee, which affected him last season and required significant treatment, including knee drainage.
- The Timberwolves opted for surgery early in the season to prevent further damage, despite Edwards averaging 33.3 points and leading the NBA in three-pointers made this season.
- Edwards' absence is a significant blow to the Timberwolves, who have started the season 3-1 and were considered one of the NBA's top teams behind Edwards and newly acquired LaMelo Ball.
