Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and is expected to miss up to two months, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Despite being listed as questionable for the October 28 game against the Cavaliers, Edwards still scored 47 points in 41 minutes.

“We Never Went Down Like This”: NBA Icon Calls Anthony Edwards Injury an ‘Epidemic’ as Timberwolves Face Major Setback
The Minnesota Timberwolves lose star guard Anthony Edwards to an arthroscopic knee surgery that could sideline him up to two months, ending a promising 3‑1 start to the 2026‑27 season. Edwards logged a career‑best 47‑point, 41‑minute overtime loss to Cleveland before the injury resurfaced a runner’s‑knee issue from last year. Veteran Eddie Johnson, a 1989 Sixth Man of the Year, slammed modern conditioning on X, calling the spate of early‑season injuries an “epidemic” and urging longer training camps. With Edwards out for roughly 25 games, the Wolves must reshuffle their lineup ahead of a matchup with the Golden State Warriors, jeopardizing any MVP chase.
Jonathan Kuminga has first shot at revenge Wednesday

With All‑Star Anthony Edwards sidelined for up to two months following knee surgery, Kuminga is expected to shoulder much of the scoring load when the Wolves face Steve Kerr’s squad.

Edwards, who averaged 33.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 40% from three in the opening four games, last posted a 47‑point effort against Cleveland despite a knee tweak. His absence forces LaMelo Ball into a larger offensive role and could see Ayo Dosunmu start. The Timberwolves are 3‑1 to start the season.
