Minnesota Timberwolves wing Anthony Edwards had to be helped off the floor after suffering a right ankle injury in the first quarter of Friday's 139-131 double-overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls.
He was later ruled out for the rest of the game. Edwards returned to the Timberwolves' bench wearing a protective walking boot, according to K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago.
