Anthony Edwards exited Game 2 of the Minnesota Timberwolves‘ Western Conference semifinal series against the Golden State Warriors after sustaining a left ankle sprain midway through the second quarter.
The Timberwolves were leading 37-19 with 6:36 remaining in the second quarter when Edwards attempted a leaping left-handed layup in transition. Trayce Jackson-Davis, who successfully contested Edwards’ shot, landed on his ankle, the weight of the Warriors’ big man causing it to turn, awkwardly.
Edwards missed the remainder of the first half and the Timberwolves announced his return status as questionable, but he was able to start the second half.
The 23-year-old Edwards, a three-time All-Star, has shown resilience when it comes to mid-game injuries this postseason. He sustained an ankle injury in Game 4 of the Timberwolves’ first-round series with the Los Angeles Lakers when LeBron James undercut him while diving for a loose ball. Edwards fought through the pain to lead a fourth-quarter comeback victory for Minnesota.

Rivellino crava time que vai reagir no futebol brasileiro: “Plantel recheado”
Rivellino é ex-atleta e comentarista esportivo - Divulgação Roberto Rivellino acredita que o São Paulo poderá dar um salto importante, sobretudo no segundo semestre da temporada. Em sua avaliação, o técnico Luis Zubeldía acabou prejudicado pela infinidade de titulares que estavam lesionados. De fato, neste período estiveram fora Oscar, Lucas Moura e Pablo Maia. Na sequência, o argentino ainda perdeu Calleri com uma grave lesão ligamentar, além de Arboleda que precisou ficar ausente de algumas partidas para controle de carga. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Segundo Rivellino, a tendência é que o São Paulo eleve o seu nível com a volta de todos eles. Com a parada do calendário em razão da disputa do Super Mundial de Clubes, Zubeldía terá um tempo maior para trabalhar com todo o plantel. “Hoje ele tem o Ferreirinha, que é rápido, Lucas, que é rápido, o Lucas […]
Warriors experiment with rotation in Game 2 blowout and maybe find some answers
MINNEAPOLIS — In the aftermath of a Game 1 survival, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was delivered the MRI news he already feared. Steph Curry’s strained hamstring would sideline him for several games and force Kerr to completely readjust his strategy against a long, active Minnesota Timberwolves defense that no longer had Curry to obsess over and contain.AdvertisementThe 1-0 series lead gave Kerr enough breathing room for experimentation. After he met with his staff at the team hotel Wednesday afternoon, they came up with a tentative strategy: try everything, find something and don’t overtax the stars.The result was a 117-93 response win from the Timberwolves, with three statistics that tell the cautious tale. Jimmy Butler played 34 minutes. Draymond Green played 29 minutes. The Warriors became the first team in playoff history to put 14 different players on the […]
Nejlepší hráč anglické ligy. Salah neměl při hlasování žurnalistů konkurenci
Pro Salaha se vyjádřilo 90 procent z 918 hlasujících žurnalistů. Dvaatřicetiletý kanonýr zvítězil s převahou před spoluhráčem Virgilem van Dijkem a Alexanderem Isakem z Newcastlu. Hlasy obdrželo 19 hráčů.„Jen zřídka se našel populárnější vítěz než Mo. Jeho drtivé vítězství je odrazem neuvěřitelné sezony,“ uvedl předseda FWA John Cross.Salah dosud v této ligové sezoně nastřílel 28 branek, pořadí vede o pět gólů před Isakem a míří ke čtvrtému zisku Zlaté kopačky v kariéře. Liverpoolu pomohl s předstihem získat anglický titul, „Reds“ už si prvenství v soutěži zajistili před dvěma týdny a nyní ještě zbývá odehrát tři kola. Bývalý hráč Basileje, Chelsea, Fiorentiny či AS Řím obléká dres Liverpoolu od roku 2017 a v dubnu s klubem prodloužil smlouvu.
