T-wolves' Anthony Edwards needs procedure on right knee, will miss several
weeks, AP source says

Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards needs an arthroscopic procedure to alleviate
issues with his right knee and will miss several weeks, a person with knowledge
of the matter said Tuesday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the
Timberwolves had yet to make any public announcements of Edwards' plan to have
the procedure.
Edwards has been listed on injury reports with a right knee issue, though it
wasn't clear what the problem was. The Timberwolves had listed him as
questionable for their game against Golden State on Wednesday, before the
decision was evidently made to go forward with the surgery.
Edwards was off to a flying start this season, averaging 33.3 points and
leading Minnesota to three wins in its first four games. He scored 45 points in
the season-opening win at Miami, then had 47 points in a loss to Cleveland on
Monday night.
If he is out for two months, that would essentially take him up until
Minnesota's Christmas game against Oklahoma City. It would also mean Edwards
would miss around 25 games, meaning he would fall short of the NBA's 65-game
threshold for end-of-season awards like the All-NBA team and MVP.
Edwards was limited to 61 games last season, mostly because of knee-related
issues.
