The initial diagnosis was that he would be out for around two months.The Timberwolves have missed Edwards, but everyone associated with the team is convinced that he will come back stronger.That is because of his mentality, which every member of the Wolves roster has constantly seen – not just during games but in practice as well.Dosunmu said about Edwards in The Players’ Tribune: “Ant. He’s special. As a trash talker, he’s like what you hear about with the Kobe (Bryant) stories, the MJ (Michael Jordan) stories, the KG (Kevin Garnett) stories. No, really, I think a better comparison is like the (Muhammad) Ali stories.“He’s jogging back after a bucket like: ‘Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! I’m a bad man! I’m so pretty!!!'”Edwards isn’t just a really talented player, but his personality is incredible as well. That is why he is so loved, not just by the fans but by his teammates as well.The Minnesota Timberwolves need their star man back. If he hits the ground running once he returns, there is every chance they will achieve their ambitions this season.Read more:The clear message Anthony Edwards sent to Jaden McDaniels in T-Wolves group chat after his surgeryIman Shumpert says there’s one thing Jonathan Kuminga should not do after Anthony Edwards’ injuryDeMarcus Cousins suggests a ‘straight-up trade’ for Timberwolves after Anthony Edwards’ injury
