The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the Minnesota Timberwolves had not made a public announcement about Edwards’s plan, according to the reports. The available accounts therefore describe a reported treatment plan rather than an official team confirmation. Both Yahoo Sports and Clarín appear to be carrying information from the same AP-sourced account, not independent reporting.
The news comes after what Clarín described as a strong opening to the season for Edwards. The outlet reported that the Minnesota guard was averaging 33.3 points per game and had led the Timberwolves to three victories in their first four games.
The reports do not identify the specific knee problem, give a date for the procedure or provide a precise timetable for Edwards’s return. The only recovery estimate attributed to the AP-cited source is that he is expected to miss several weeks of activity.
As of the publication of the supplied reports, it remained unclear whether the Timberwolves would formally confirm the procedure. The reports establish the expected multiweek absence but do not establish where the procedure or injury occurred.
