Anthony Edwards exited Saturday’s Game 1 contest between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the LA Lakers with a left foot injury. Edwards reportedly cramped up and was questionable to return. He endured a painful landing on his left leg in the third quarter and limped off the floor. After getting treatment in the locker room, he returned to the game early in the fourth quarter.
However, shortly after, Timberwolves’ $41,959,296 big man, Naz Reid, was the next to face an injury blow after a collision with Jarred Vanderbilt. Reid took a shot to his head and grimaced in pain for a prolonged stretch. He also exited and headed to the locker room.
