Minneapolis-St. Paul: Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, a procedure that will sideline him for an estimated two months and potentially disrupt the team's successful start to the season.
Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 28, 2026 —
Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards is set to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and is expected to be sidelined for about two months, according to the information provided in the trend summary. The absence could affect the team during what has been described as a successful start to the season.
The summary does not specify when the procedure will take place, why it is needed, or whether Edwards has already been ruled out of particular games. It also does not provide details about his condition beyond identifying the right knee, or describe what the surgery is expected to involve beyond being arthroscopic.
The two-month estimate indicates a substantial period away from play, but the available information does not identify a projected return date. It is also unclear whether the estimate reflects a formal recovery timeline or an approximate expectation. No additional details about treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up assessments were provided.
Edwards’ anticipated absence comes as the Timberwolves are having a successful start to the season, according to the summary. The extent to which the team’s results may be affected is not specified. No information was provided about how the team plans to adjust its lineup or responsibilities while he is sidelined.
The information provided does not include a statement from Edwards, the Timberwolves, or medical staff. It also does not give a date for an announcement, identify the source of the recovery estimate, or say whether further updates are expected. The circumstances surrounding the surgery and the team’s plans during Edwards’ recovery therefore remain unclear.
