Summarised from 2 outlets · 4 reports · Updated 28 Oct, 21:15 · Archive

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and miss several weeks, the team confirmed Wednesday. The procedure was scheduled for Thursday. The Timberwolves' president of basketball operations Tim Connelly said Edwards will be 'good as new' with no long-term concern, though he did not specify the diagnosis.

An MRI on Tuesday revealed new damage that had not been detected in previous scans conducted before training camp and during the playoffs. Edwards had been bothered by right knee pain last spring and was limited to a career-low 61 games last season. He was also seen grabbing his knee during the Timberwolves' home opener on Sunday.

Despite being listed as questionable to play, Edwards scored 47 points in an overtime loss at Cleveland on Monday. His 133 points through the team's first four games set a franchise record. After the procedure, the Timberwolves will have a clearer timetable for his return, whether that becomes a matter of weeks or months.
