The series between the Warriors and Timberwolves could have lost all interest on Thursday. After Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards also went off injured. Fortunately, the fullback made a miraculous comeback, which shocked his teammates.

After a rather surprising defeat in Game 1, even though Stephen Curry was quickly out with an injury on the Warriors’ side, the Timberwolves set the record straight on Thursday. Still at home, Chris Finch’s men found their way back to winning ways, and not just any way. The 24-point win should do wonders for morale in Minnesota.

However, everything could have gone wrong midway through the second quarter. Anthony Edwards could have been out for good with a badly sprained ankle. Crushed by Trayce Jackson-Davis’s 111 kilos, Ant Man had to return to the locker room with the help of two Wolves assistants. Because he couldn’t put his foot on the floor, concern was the order of the day.

Anthony Edwards miraculous against the Warriors

With his ankle still warm, Anthony Edwards was finally able to return to the floor in the second half, which greatly benefited his team. He finished the game with 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals, which is pretty impressive for an injured player. He also left with compliments from his team-mates, who still don’t understand how he recovers so quickly.

Julius Randle : Anthony Edwards is Iron Man. I’ve seen him take hits, get knocked to the ground so many times… Even better, he’s like Wolverine. He gets hurt, he goes back to the locker room to do whatever, and he’s back to his best as if nothing had happened.

Jaden McDaniels : Ant really is Superman.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker : Ant always finds a way to get back into the game. One thing’s for sure with him, he’ll never rest on the bench. He’d have to be at death’s door not to play.

To his team-mates, Anthony Edwards is a superhero who regenerates faster than anyone else. That, too, is the strength of a young superstar.
