Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has sustained a bone bruise and hyperextension in his left knee and is expected to miss multiple weeks, sources tell ESPN. Results showed Edwards avoided any ligament damage, but he will now miss time.

Shoot him up and let's roll.

This is an opportunity for someone else to step up.

We couldn't have asked for better than that given how it looked. He probably doesn't play again this playoffs, but it will give others a chance to really shine and show what they can do in the playoffs and earn their place on the team next year. If it was an acl year long injury, I think that might hurt our chances of re-signing Ayo as he might have looked for something better with Ant out. But with Donte hurt for the year, Ayo is guaranteed a starting spot next season, which should help re-sign him.

Both knees should be good to go for the OKC matchup. Lets go!

Based on how he looked offensively in this series with the other knee not at 100%, my hope is that if he does come back and we're still in it, he sees himself more as a cog in the machine versus the main protagonist. He had a lot of success in the first three games when he was moving the ball, rebounding, defending, and getting into the paint. It was when he was trying to get his jumper going off the dribble or in isolation that things ended badly. He was too hurt/rusty to play hero ball.

Any update on Ayo's condition? Those balls were way too big

I hope he doesn't come back this season. It is very likely he suffered this injury due to favoring the other knee. I will never understand why Finch brought him back before the PO's. Get him a couple PRP's and sit him till next season, no reason to take a chance with his long-term health. This team has no chance at a title without him at 100%.

We know that Donte is out for the entire playoffs, and most likely Ant too. So what will our rotation look like going forward.
I'll predict the "why is Finchy playing Mike?" contingency is not going to be happy, because I think Ayo and Mike will start and play 38 and 25 minutes, respectively. Naz and Bones will be the first two off the bench, and SloMo and TJ will round out the main 9. The only other guy who might see the court is Clark.
Vegas isn't impressed...early line for tomorrow is Denver - 9 1/2.

What an insane level of disrespect
