What happened: Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his ailing right knee, ESPN's Shams Charania reported. The surgery comes immediately after Minnesota's regular-season road loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Why it matters: The procedure sidelines Minnesota's primary scorer early in the 2026-27 campaign after Edwards previously dealt with a left knee bone bruise. Guard LaMelo Ball and forward Jaden McDaniels will shoulder a heavier offensive load in the Timberwolves' rotation during his absence.

By the numbers: Anthony Edwards recorded 47 PTS, 4 REB, and 4 AST in Minnesota's 125-127 final loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

What to watch: Minnesota will issue an official recovery timetable after Edwards completes the arthroscopic procedure.
