The Brooklyn Nets lost 105-90 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, a game marked by a concerning incident involving coach Jordi Fernandez and star player Anthony Edwards. After hitting a 3-pointer, Edwards accidentally stepped on Fernandez's foot and twisted his ankle. Although he was helped off the court, he returned to score 28 points in the second half. Fans questioned Fernandez's positioning and the incident recalled a previous playoff injury involving the Timberwolves coach Chris Finch. In the loss, Fernandez emphasized giving young players an opportunity, highlighting the team's ongoing rebuilding efforts.
I definitely have to be faster than that. Player's health is the most important thing in the game, so next time I just have to move faster.
Despite being helped off the court, he started the second half and finished with a game-high 28 points on 10-for-15 shooting, with five rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes.
Timberwolves trainers helped the three-time All-Star off the court and into the locker room.
While the first-year head coach didn't appear to have any ill intent, some fans quickly took to social media to question why Fernandez was standing so far down the bench.
