The Minnesota Timberwolves were dealt a scare on Friday night against the Phoenix Suns as they chase a playoff spot.
Superstar guard Anthony Edwards took an elbow from Kevin Durant in transition and immediately went to the ground in pain. He had to be helped to the locker room:

Not a good sign for the Timberwolves. As you can see, Edwards was in serious discomfort. Minnesota is in eighth place at the moment and just a half-game out of the final playoff berth, which is occupied by the Los Angeles Clippers.
More to come.
