The left knee of Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards remained structurally intact when he was injured during Game 4 of his team's Western Conference first-round playoff series, a person with knowledge of the situation said Sunday.
Edwards has a bone bruise and also hyperextended the knee, said the person, who spoke to The on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced details or a return-to-play timeline.
The belief, the person said, is that Edwards likely will miss multiple weeks. ESPN and The Athletic previously reported the diagnosis on Edwards.

Edwards was hurt in the first half of Minnesota's 112-96 win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night, a victory that gave the Timberwolves a 3-1 lead in that series. But the Wolves also lost fellow starting guard Donte DiVincenzo in that game with a torn Achilles tendon, meaning his season is over and his 2026-27 season is likely in great jeopardy as well.
Game 5 of the series is Monday night in Denver.
