On April 24, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs once again ushered in bad news. Timberwolves showed Edwards suddenly had knee problems in the middle of the first quarter, then voluntarily applied to leave the field and returned to the locker room with the help of the two. Edwards then returned with a false alarm.
In slow motion, Edwards' injury was very sudden, and it was in the absence of any confrontation to suddenly cover his knees. Edwards then returned, proving to be a false alarm. But Edwards has since played poorly and it seems that there are still doubts about the knee.
So far this season's playoffs, it can be said that it is very tragic, and there have been many player injuries. Since the play-offs, the Hawks' interior striker Capela has been injured and has not yet returned. Subsequently, Suns will also suffer from hamstring strains and will be absent for 2-3 weeks. After that, the Bucks' second-in-command Middleton, who injured an accessory ligament in his knee, will miss 2-3 weeks.
Later, Embiid also suffered a finger injury. Then, Heat champion point guard Lowry also suffered a hamstring injury. Before Edwards was injured, Raptors big player VanVleet also left the court early with a hip injury. Earlier, their interior rookie Barnes also missed a game injured. Coupled with doncic, who was injured in the final stages of the regular season and didn't come back until G4, and Simmons, who has not yet returned, the playoffs really lack too many stars.
Now, Edwards' injury looks very serious, and judging from the fact that he is not afraid to exert his strength outside the game, this series may be difficult to come back. This will be a huge challenge for the Timberwolves. Towns and Russell need to take more responsibility, and if Towns continues to play as badly as before, the Timberwolves will be out soon.
