The Wolves are already without All-Star big man Karl-Anthony Towns. However, Towns\u2019 return may be <a href=\"https:\/\/larrybrownsports.com\/basketball\/timberwolves-update-karl-anthony-towns\/612672\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">right around the corner<\/a>. Now they might have to traverse most of these final 11 regular-season games without Edwards, their leading scorer at 24.7 points per night as well as one of their top point-of-attack defenders.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>\n\t\t\t(function(d, s, id) {\n\t\t\t\tvar js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n\t\t\t\tif (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n\t\t\t\tjs = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n\t\t\t\tjs.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.5&appId=125075807517358\";\n\t\t\t\tfjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n\t\t\t}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/nba\/articles\/timberwolves_provide_update_on_anthony_edwards_after_scary_ankle_injury\/s1_127_38596616\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minnesota Timberwolves are updating the status of All-Star swingman Anthony Edwards\u2019 following a frightening injury during Friday\u2019s loss to the Chicago Bulls.
