Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards Expected Return Within Week After Hamstring Injury

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards suffered a right hamstring strain early in the season opener and has been sidelined since. He has been cleared for contact and is expected to return to play in about a week, pending re-evaluation. Edwards was off to a strong start, averaging over 25 points per game with high shooting efficiency before the injury. The Timberwolves have struggled offensively in his absence, holding a 1-2 record in his missed games and currently standing 3-3 overall. Backup players like Mike Conley and Donte DiVincenzo have filled in during Edwards' recovery. Edwards remains the team's leader and primary offensive playmaker, and his return is highly anticipated to boost the Timberwolves' performance.
