The All-Star Game is off to an exciting start, and so far, the new format seems to be delivering. Team Chuck pulled off a solid 41-32 win over Team Kenny in the first round. But while fans enjoyed the action, one glaring absence didn’t go unnoticed—Anthony Edwards. Many were hoping to see the Timberwolves star suit up for Team Kenny, but he never took the floor. So what exactly kept Edwards out?
Well, leading up to the game, there was complete silence about Edwards’ status. No injury reports, no pre-game hints—nothing. But once the game wrapped up, the reason finally surfaced. According to national reporter Tim Reynolds, Edwards was dealing with a groin issue, and things weren’t looking great.
“Anthony Edwards said with a longer warm-up he might have tried to play, but there wasn’t enough time to test his groin. So he didn’t play,” Reynolds shared on X. The revelation is concerning, especially with Edwards being a key player for Minnesota.
