"Edwards had already been ruled out of Tuesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns with knee soreness. The Timberwolves star has been an iron man through his six-year NBA career, having only missed a total of nine games in the three seasons prior to this one. He's averaging a career-high 29.5 points while shooting nearly 50% from the field."
"With just 14 games to play, Edwards can't miss more than half the games remaining to keep his eligibility for end-of-season awards. His absence comes at an unfortunate time for the Timberwolves, who are just two games back of the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference but also only two games up from the play-in."
