Anthony Edwards suffers hip pointer injury vs Utah Jazz
The Minnesota Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards is likely out for the upcoming game against the Utah Jazz after being diagnosed with a hip-pointer injury. The 2020 first-overall pick fell hard and grimaced in pain as he needed medical attention.

The Minnesota Timberwolves currently own a 13-4 record and the team is at the top of the NBA Western Conference standings. In 17 games, Anthony Edwards averaged 26.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals per night.
