Timberwolves' Edwards leaves Game 2 with sprained left ankle
- During Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals on May 8, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota Timberwolves' star Anthony Edwards left the game early in the second quarter after injuring his left ankle.
- The injury occurred when Warriors’ second-year forward Trayce Jackson-Davis landed on Edwards’ ankle as he defended a rim attempt, causing the ankle to roll under Jackson-Davis’ weight.
- Edwards was helped off the court, spent under six minutes in the locker room after a timeout called by coach Chris Finch, then returned to play the second half despite being deemed questionable.
- Edwards contributed 20 points—13 coming after halftime—along with nine boards, five dimes, and three steals over 34 minutes, helping the Timberwolves secure a 117-93 victory to tie the series. The Warriors played without Stephen Curry, who was sidelined due to a left hamstring injury sustained in the first game.
- Coach Chris Finch expressed concern saying, "This one I really was worried about," and Edwards’ return suggested he avoided a worst-case scenario, though his absence would impact Minnesota as much as Curry’s injury affects Golden State.
