Anthony Edwards, the Minnesota Timberwolves star, suffered a left ankle sprain during Game 2 of the 2025 NBA playoffs Western Conference semifinals against the Golden State Warriors. The injury occurred when Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis stepped on Edwards' left foot as he landed after attempting a layup. Edwards was in visible pain, stayed on the floor for a while, and was helped off to the locker room without putting weight on his left leg. Despite being initially questionable to return, he made a comeback for the second half of the game

. Edwards had been performing well before the injury, contributing points, rebounds, assists, and steals. His injury was a concerning development for the Timberwolves during the playoffs, but he showed resilience by returning to play after treatment

. More recently, Edwards has continued to work on his game and postseason performance, including late-night film sessions with a development coach to improve his play after struggles in earlier playoff games
