According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Edwards’ injury is not serious but is expected to keep him out of the rest of the Olympic training camp.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Edwards was a bright spot for the Timberwolves last season, averaging 19.3 points per game and finishing second in the NBA’s Rookie of the Year Award voting.
