Story summary

Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards will undergo an arthroscopic procedure for issues with his right knee and will miss several weeks, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke to The Associated Press. If Edwards is out for up to two months as expected, he would miss around 25 games until Minnesota's Christmas game against Oklahoma City, potentially falling short of the NBA’s 65-game threshold for end-of-season awards like All-NBA and MVP. This decision came after he was listed on injury reports with knee issues but still played in recent games, scoring a record-breaking 133 points through his first four games this season. The Timberwolves have not yet made any public announcements about Edwards' surgery plans.
