Anthony Edwards Returns After Ankle Injury in Game 2

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards suffered a left ankle injury in the second quarter of Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors after Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis came down on his foot. Edwards was visibly in pain and was helped to the locker room, initially listed as questionable to return. Despite the injury, Edwards returned at the start of the second half, providing a boost for Minnesota as they aim to even the series. Edwards had previously dealt with an ankle issue in the first-round series against the Lakers. The Warriors remain without Stephen Curry, who is sidelined with a hamstring strain suffered in Game 1. Both teams are coping with critical injuries in this pivotal playoff matchup.
