In Game 1 of the Western Conference finals against Oklahoma City Thunder, Anthony Edwards suffered an ankle injury but quickly returned to the game. After landing awkwardly on his ankle, he dismissed concerns about pain affecting his performance. Edwards scored just 17 points in total and struggled in the second half, attributing his performance to shot volume rather than health issues. Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder to victory, scoring 31 points, positioning himself as a strong MVP candidate.
"No. I've definitely got to shoot more. I only took 13 shots, probably just get off the ball a little more. Play without the ball. Everyone is going to double and sit in the gaps."
"Despite dismissing concerns about his ankle injury, Edwards scored just five points in the second half following his return from the locker room, reflecting an unusually poor performance."
