Reports: Anthony Edwards (left knee) likely to miss several weeks
Minnesota's star is has a hyperextended left knee and a bone bruise after suffering the injuries in Game 4 vs. Denver.
www.nba.comHere’s the latest on Anthony Edwards’ injury situation:
- Reports from late April 2026 indicated he suffered a hyperextended left knee with a bone bruise in Game 4 vs. Denver, with no structural damage to the knee, and he was expected to miss several weeks. This provides the most recent medical assessment as of that time, suggesting a multi-week absence rather than a long-term prognosis.[1]
- Additional updates around late April and early May 2026 pointed to Edwards being out for at least a week, with continued evaluation of his recovery timeline as Minnesota pursued the playoffs and mixed results with other players returning or being sidelined. These timelines can shift based on rehabilitation progress and symptoms.[9]
- Earlier in the season and into the spring, Edwards had dealt with other injury notes (elbow soreness, flu-like symptoms) that briefly affected his availability, but those were not the same injury nor as impactful on the knee prognosis. These notes illustrate that he had multiple injury considerations, though none superseded the knee injury in the April report.[3][4]
