The Timberwolves experienced a bit of a scare in today's game, mainly because star player Edwards accidentally stepped on Nets head coach Fernandez during the game, resulting in an ankle sprain that required him to be assisted off the court. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and Edwards returned to the court after halftime. He ultimately scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals with a high efficiency of 10 of 15 shooting, helping his team secure a 105-90 victory over the Nets, achieving a four-game winning streak, and continuing to chase the Grizzlies and Warriors.
Regarding Edwards' fearless performance while playing through injury, Gobert jokingly said, "It's very dramatic; he always likes it this way. But it's great; Edwards' toughness is commendable. We all know he will give his all to overcome difficulties. He loves competition, and we all appreciate that about him." Fernandez, who nearly caused a serious injury to Edwards, also expressed concern, stating, "I was standing out of bounds at the time, and although I tried to dodge him, I should have done it quicker because the health of the players is the most important thing." According to statistics, Edwards has become the youngest shooting guard in NBA history to score over 2000 points in consecutive seasons.
In addition to Edwards' impressive performance while injured, the recently thriving Gobert contributed 21 points and 18 rebounds with a shooting performance of 9 of 10. In the last six games, he has averaged 17.8 points and 15.7 rebounds, making him one of the key factors in the Timberwolves' continued winning streak. The head coach also praised him, noting that Gobert has returned to the hot form he had when he won the Defensive Player of the Year award last year.
