The Minnesota Timberwolves will have to take a deep breath as Anthony Edwards may have suffered an injury during Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night.

Edwards' injury happened midway through the second quarter with the Timberwolves leading by double-digits against the Warriors. He drove to the basket and went up midair for a shot but when he went down, he landed awkwardly as he suffered an apparent leg injury.

He held his leg in visible pain. And when the team got him back up, he had to go to the Timberwolves' locker room for evaluation. The team revealed at halftime that he has a left ankle sprain and was questionable to return.

Luckily for the Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards returned in time to start the second half. He used the halftime break to regain himself and assert pressure on the ankle, which seemed to alleviate itself for the time being.

Fans are relieved to see Edwards back on the court with the Timberwolves, hoping that he is all right to continue his star form. Here are some of their reactions.

“Bro hit a pump fake on warriors fans im dead,” one fan said.
