Report: Wolves' Anthony Edwards (hamstring) expected to miss 2 weeks

Minnesota's star guard was injured in Sunday's 114-110 home win against the Pacers.

Anthony Edwards is averaging 25.7 ppg this season for the Wolves.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will be without their star for at least a few weeks.

Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, guard Anthony Edwards will be out of the lineup for two weeks with a right hamstring strain.

Edwards exited early in the first quarter of the Wolves’ home opener on Sunday night with tightness in his right hamstring.

Edwards converted a tough layup in traffic off a fast break with 3:07 elapsed in the game against Indiana, taking hard contact before he looked for a foul call to no avail. The Pacers called timeout one second later, and Bones Hyland subbed in for Edwards during the break.

Edwards was listed as questionable to play in Minnesota’s season opener at Portland on Wednesday night, when he had 41 points in 39 minutes. The three-time All-Star has played in 426 of a possible 445 games, including the playoffs, in his career.

This season, Edwards is averaging 25.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 51.9% overall and 47.4% on 3-pointers.
