Silence, shock, and a chill through the crowd. In a moment that sent shivers down every spine inside the Chase Center, Anthony Edwards went down hard, all motionless and clearly in pain. This was a nightmare unfolding in real time for the Minnesota Timberwolves. With 6:06 left in the second quarter of Game 2 of the Warriors vs. Wolves, and the scoreboard reading Warriors 19, Wolves 37, Edwards attempted a drive to the basket before crashing to the floor after a massive block from Trayce Jackson-Davis.
The injury came on a daring drive—Ant tried to pull off an acrobatic, twisting layup, only to get sent packing by TJD. But the real damage came on the landing. As Trayce Jackson-Davis came down, he landed full force on Ant’s left ankle, twisting it awkwardly under the weight.
A highlight block turned into a heart-stopping moment for Minnesota.
His ankle buckled, and he was unable to get back up. Teammates held their breath. The coaching staff sprinted. And the medics? Well, they didn’t waste a second. They helped him off the court and took Edwards to the locker room immediately.
Just before halftime, TNT sideline reporter Lauren Jbara dropped a crucial update: “Left ankle sprain—he’s questionable to return tonight.”
This injury came after Edwards had briefly tweaked the same left ankle in Game 1, making the situation even more concerning. Steph Curry, looking down the tunnel where Edwards left, had a forlorn expression on his face. A stark reminder that the series is quickly losing star power with one of its key players now sidelined.
As the Timberwolves brace for the worst, the Warriors have to feel the momentum shift. Will Edwards be back in action? The stakes have never been higher. This is every Timberwolves fan’s worst fear. More updates to follow.
