Sports doctor questions severity of Anthony Edwards' knee injury

Summary

Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves is using a crutch during practice, raising concerns from sports doctor Brian Sutterer. Edwards underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee two weeks ago for debridement but is still seen wearing a brace and reportedly putting minimal weight on the knee. Sutterer noted that such a situation is uncommon following a simple procedure, suggesting the injury may be more serious than initially implied. The Timberwolves have stated that Edwards is expected to miss up to two months, with a potential return around late December or early January.
