Edwards then went down to the court near Minnesota’s bench and had to be carried down the tunnel into the locker room.

Though the knee issue seemed to be a serious concern, Edwards didn’t miss much time and quickly returned to the Timberwolves’ bench as if there weren’t an issue.

Edwards’ quick return after looking like he was in a good deal of pain led some to make Paul Pierce jokes.
Edwards only missed around three minutes of game time before returning. The 2020 No. 1 overall draft pick entered Game 4 averaging 25 points per game in the series.
