Anthon Edwards injury: Wolves star out for Game 4 after hurting left knee

Anthony Edwards hobbled off the court with a left leg injury in the second quarter of Game 4 of the first-round series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets in the 2026 NBA Playoffs. Edwards had been playing through a right knee injury, but injured his other knee after an awkward landing trying to challenge a shot from Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson.

The Wolves entered Game 4 with a 2-1 series lead. Minnesota guard Donte DiVincenzo was also injured 90 seconds into the game with a season-ending Achilles injury that has now been confirmed. Minnesota has now lost its two best guards during a golden opportunity at home to put the Nuggets on the brink of elimination.

Update: Edwards has been ruled out for Game 4. He won’t return.

Watch the play here:

Edwards was struggling before the injury, shooting only 1-for-8 from the field with five points in 18 minutes before the injury.
