WATCH HEREWith less than five minutes remaining in the second quarter on Thursday at Target Center, star Anthony Edwards went to the locker room after apparently suffering a left ankle injury. The 23-year-old was in pain, holding his ankle before leaving the court.

During the halftime break, Edwards, who initially was listed as questionable to return, ran drills in preparation to return to action.
Before the injury, Edwards was struggling from the floor, having made just 2 of 7 field-goal attempts for seven points.
The Warriors, without star guard Steph Curry due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain, are looking to take a surprising 2-0 lead on the Timberwolves.
