What happened to Anthony Edwards? Timberwolves star helped off court after unusual injury involving Nets HC

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday at Barclays Center. After a closely fought first quarter, the Timberwolves started to put distance between themselves and the home team in the next period. However, Minnesota’s surge came with a cost.

With 3:58 remaining in the second quarter, Ant-Man hit a corner triple before stepping on Nets coach Jordi Fernandez’s foot while backpedaling. The All-Star guard had to be helped back to the locker room after suffering what looked like a foot injury.

The 3-pointer gave the Timberwolves a 35-30 lead. Edwards had 15 points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 14 minutes when the incident happened.
