Minnesota Timberwolves fans held their breath on April 3, 2025, when Anthony Edwards went down with an apparent ankle injury against the Brooklyn Nets. The star guard had just drilled a corner three when he accidentally stepped on Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez’s foot, rolling his ankle in the process. He immediately grabbed his ankle and was helped off the court, sparking major concern for Minnesota’s playoff hopes.
But just as panic started to set in, Edwards returned at the start of the second half, easing fears of a serious injury. Before the incident, he had already racked up 15 points on efficient shooting, proving once again why he’s crucial to the Timberwolves’ postseason push.
While footage confirmed the collision was unintentional, fans still weren’t happy about Fernandez’s placement. But for now, Minnesota can breathe easy—Edwards is still standing, and their playoff hopes remain intact.
