Shams: Anthony Edwards OUT for 2 Weeks with Hamstring Injury

[Castle Black]

Bummer. Ant was off to a hot start. Smart to not push him this early in the season though.

Sucks

[EmpireFalls]

That’s awful, he was legitimately unguardable vs Portland and looked on the cusp of taking another leap.

[Billl]

Ouch. 2 weeks with their schedule looks like 7-8 games? Obviously you don't rush him back, but you can't afford to drop too many of those if you want to compete in the west.

At least they have great chemistry, so they know how to score without him, quite the opposite of last season when it took half the year to click.
Wolves were excellent vs. Indiana yesterday, Gobert 14 points, 18 rebounds, and Randle 31 points...
They'll be fine.

[Bornstellar]

Those damn hamstrings. 2 weeks isn't very long so I hope that's enough time. Feels like dudes come back from hamstring issues and then end up tearing their Achilles soon after. No need to rush him back

Pacers are missing half of the team.

Not good for the Wolves obviously. Would be nice for them to hover around .500 during this stretch cause the West is brutal.

Seems to the result of bad work ethic.
Wolves still can flip him for Ayton though!

Ayton and Gobert would make a hell of a Twin Towers.

Already with all the injuries, I hope it's not worse then last season.

Hamstring injuries in a highly kinetic sport like basketball is just brutal. Even after youre "good", the pesky thing can still easily pop on you and youre back out for another month or two. Then it'll start messing with your head as you start restricting some explosive moments so that you dont keep tweaking your hammy, which either depresses your play or you start overworking another part of the body which can get hurt from the extra stress. Ant-man is a majestic athlete and i hope he recovers fully and doesnt have this issue keep cropping up.

Explain how?

I hope you not reading too much into facing Siakam, Nesmith and both of end of bench guys. And we BARELY won that one despite all their injuries.

Our offense without him IS BRUTAL, its all Randle hero ball bullying smaller guys crashing rim with drives, and hoping his mid range post fade is hot that game. If its not, that's all she wrote folks.




Literally no other offensive weapon out there. Or ball handler.


Let's hope we break even in these coming weeks, we will be lucky too.


And that Shannon Jr gets good reps with elevated minutes, just crashing the basket and learning what works or doesn't work for him.

"Throw in Vanderbilt + Smart and you've got yourself a deal."

[Optms]

Not even a full week in. Today's players are so fragile. Smh.

[whatisacenter]

Dude should get a vasectomy while he’s rehabbing his hamstring!

[jscott]

Eh - I don’t think Ant’s the player you wanna call fragile. He routinely walks off sprains and comes back into games.

This is ill-informed and dumb.
