The Minnesota Timberwolves received the disappointing news that Anthony Edwards will miss time with right knee inflammation. The Wolves are one of quite a few teams that are jockeying for playoff positioning late into the regular season, and being without their superstar guard wouldn’t help in that regard.
On Wednesday night, Minnesota’s offense didn’t miss a beat even without their nearly 30-point per game scorer in the lineup. They dropped 147 points on the Utah Jazz, a point total that the franchise hadn’t reached for almost three years (in a non-overtime game).
The Timberwolves scored 43 points in the opening 12 minutes in their 147-111 victory over the Jazz on Wednesday.
