Edwards rusty in Knicks rout on hamstring return

Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
November 2025

After four games out (right hamstring strain), Edwards returned with 15 points in 29 minutes as Minnesota lost 137-114. He struggled to find rhythm while New York punished second-chance opportunities and controlled physicality on the glass. Chris Finch kept sets simple to limit burst demands, but timing and lift lagged. Expect a ramp-up plan with tighter defensive glass principles and reduced isolation volume until acceleration/deceleration metrics normalize. Early makes and touch shots should precede high-load sequences.
