Edwards rusty in Knicks rout on hamstring return

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.

After a right hamstring strain on Oct. 26, Edwards was cleared for game action. He returns averaging 25.7 points on elite efficiency, restoring Minnesota’s primary on-ball creator and late-clock shotmaker as they navigate a dense East Coast swing. Minutes will likely ramp under a managed workload with medical rechecks on sprint and decel tolerance. Expect simplified sets early—Pistol, Chicago actions—to reduce burst demands, then a gradual reintroduction of isolation/elbow packages as confidence and responsiveness stabilize.

Edwards left Sunday’s home opener early with right hamstring tightness; imaging confirmed a strain. He’ll miss at least three games, including the start of a road swing in Charlotte, before a status check. Durable historically, Edwards averaged 25.7 points on elite efficiency through the first week. Expect Minnesota to redistribute usage across Edwards’ touches with increased initiations for Towns and Conley, staggered lineups to protect bench offense, and defensive minutes for wings to preserve energy late. Soft-tissue risk management—no accelerated timelines, progressive sprint work—guides return. Backup guard Rob Dillingham’s availability cushions on-ball creation temporarily.
