Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is week-to-week with a knee injury, the team announced Monday.
He avoided serious ligament damage in his left knee, with an MRI revealing a hyperextension and a bone bruise.
The timeline means Edwards, 24, is likely to miss at least the rest of Minnesota's first-round playoff series with Denver. The Timberwolves lead 3-1 and can close out the Nuggets with a Game 5 win on the road Monday night.
Edwards was injured when he landed awkwardly after attempting to block a shot in the second quarter of Saturday's 112-96 victory in Game 4.
The four-time All-Star guard is averaging 18.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 blocks through four games in the series with the Nuggets.
Minnesota will also be without backcourt partner Donte DiVincenzo, who sustained a torn Achilles early in Game 4.
Edwards averaged 28.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 61 games (60 starts) during the regular season, his sixth campaign with the Timberwolves since they drafted him No. 1 overall in 2020.
