Anthony Edwards Worried Baby Mama Wasting Child Support on Gambling

Anthony Edwards is seeking to have part of his $14,000 monthly child support payments placed in a trust, amid concerns that the money could be spent on sports gambling. The Timberwolves star claims Alexandria Desroches, the mother of his son Amir, gambled on DraftKings dozens of times per month in 2025 while arguing that his […] The post Anthony Edwards Worried Baby Mama Wasting Child Support on Gambling appeared first on Basketball Forever .

Timberwolves’ star Anthony Edwards to undergo surgery: Expected recovery timeline

Anthony Edwards will undergo arthroscopic right‑knee surgery, sidelining the Minnesota Timberwolves' star guard for an estimated six to eight weeks. ESPN’s Shams Charania reports a late‑December return, meaning Edwards misses roughly 25–27 regular‑season games and is out of contention for the NBA’s 65‑game award threshold. Minnesota must lean on LaMelo Ball, Jonathan Kuminga, Jaden McDaniels and Ayo Dosunmu to sustain its offense and defensive identity as it faces Western Conference foes like Golden State and Denver.

Raptors’ Scottie Barnes opens up about embarrassing egg-laying vs. Timberwolves

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes would probably like a do-over against the Minnesota Timberwolves after laying an egg in 28 minutes on Sunday at Target Center. The Raptors lost to the Timberwolves, 117-94, and fell to 2-1. Barnes had zero points, going 0-of-12 from the field, including 0-of-5 from long distance.

Anthony Edwards to Miss Up to Two Months With Knee Surgery

Minnesota Timberwolves star guard Anthony Edwards will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and is expected to miss up to two months, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Despite being listed as questionable for the October 28 game against the Cavaliers, Edwards still scored 47 points in 41 minutes. He previously missed nine games late last season with runner's knee and suffered a hyperextended left knee in the first‑round playoffs. The surgery sidelines the team's primary scorer for the next two months.

“We Never Went Down Like This”: NBA Icon Calls Anthony Edwards Injury an ‘Epidemic’ as Timberwolves Face Major Setback

The Minnesota Timberwolves lose star guard Anthony Edwards to an arthroscopic knee surgery that could sideline him up to two months, ending a promising 3‑1 start to the 2026‑27 season. Edwards logged a career‑best 47‑point, 41‑minute overtime loss to Cleveland before the injury resurfaced a runner’s‑knee issue from last year. Veteran Eddie Johnson, a 1989 Sixth Man of the Year, slammed modern conditioning on X, calling the spate of early‑season injuries an “epidemic” and urging longer training camps. With Edwards out for roughly 25 games, the Wolves must reshuffle their lineup ahead of a matchup with the Golden State Warriors, jeopardizing any MVP chase.

Jonathan Kuminga has first shot at revenge Wednesday

Jonathan Kuminga, now with the Minnesota Timberwolves, gets his first chance at revenge against the Golden State Warriors. After a modest 1-for-9 showing in his lone 2024 meeting with the Warriors as an Atlanta Hawk, Kuminga returns on a one‑year, $6.1 million deal, averaging 11.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists. With All‑Star Anthony Edwards sidelined for up to two months following knee surgery, Kuminga is expected to shoulder much of the scoring load when the Wolves face Steve Kerr’s squad. The article also notes the motivational "They didn’t want you!" tradition popularized by Klay Thompson and highlights the matchup against fellow former Warrior Yaxel Lendeborg.

With NFL Still Reeling, Nolan Teasley’s Bold Claim Comes Back to Forefront

Vikings GM Nolan Teasley reasserts his aggressive trade strategy as the league reels from rumors that Hall of Famer Quenton Nelson and elite defensive tackle DeForest Buckner could be moving to NFC powerhouses. Teasley says the Vikings will stay "in the mix" on the trade market, though many deals will be under the radar, aiming to improve the roster now and for the future. With Minnesota 6‑0 but thin at running back—Aaron Jones nursing a knee injury and Jordan Mason on IR—the team eyes Colts star Jonathan Taylor, while also scouting safety, tight end, guard and defensive tackle options before the Nov. 10 deadline. Draft capital remains a key bargaining chip as the Vikings prepare for a Week 8 matchup with the Lions.

Vikings’ Brian Flores puts Jared Goff among NFL’s best before trying to get after him in Lions game

With the Minnesota Vikings (6-0) taking on the Detroit Lions (4-2) in Week 8 on Sunday, there is no denying that defensive coordinator Brian Flores will be looking to stop Jared Goff and the high-powered opposing offense.

NFC Notes: Luther Burden, Sam LaPorta, Bears, Lions, Vikings

Bears Bears HC Ben Johnson said the team wants to keep getting the ball to WR Luther Burden and that he can attack the field at all three levels.  “What’s always stood out about him is he’s elite with the ball in his hands,” Johnson said, via Bears Wire. “It’s just a matter of ‘how can we get it […] The post NFC Notes: Luther Burden, Sam LaPorta, Bears, Lions, Vikings appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .

Green Bay Packers receive promising detail in Sean Rhyan’s high ankle sprain diagnosis

The Packers’ starting center Sean Rhyan suffers a high‑ankle sprain that will sideline him at least four weeks, but doctors don’t expect tightrope surgery, making his rehab less complex. The injury forces Green Bay to reshuffle its interior line as quarterback Jordan Love, who’s thrown for 387 yards vs Minnesota and 312 against Atlanta, relies on better protection. Love’s Week 5 performance against Chicago (80.6% completions, 367 yards, two TDs) highlights his role, yet the team must maintain line stability while Rhyan recovers. The lack of surgery offers a small boost amid ongoing offensive line challenges.

Game Preview #5: Wolves vs Warriors Game Thread

The Minnesota Timberwolves (3-1) host the Golden State Warriors (1-3) on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 7 PM CT in Minneapolis. After a loss to Cleveland, the Wolves aim to bounce back despite shooting under 70% from the line and committing 42 turnovers in recent back‑to‑backs. Key storylines include TJ Shannon Jr.’s surge—averaging over double his points and shooting 50% from three—and Jonathan Kuminga’s chance to prove himself against a Warriors lineup lacking size, with Draymond Green and Al Horford anchoring the post. The game streams on DAZN‑MN and Kare 11, with radio on 830 WCCO.

Very Quietly, The Vikings Shifted a Beefier Workload onto Rookie ‘Backer

By Week 7, Vikings rookie linebacker Jake Golday sees his defensive snaps jump to nine—the most of his short NFL career—after a season of mainly special‑team duties. The increase follows the team’s bye week and suggests Coach Brian Flores may be reshuffling the depth chart, while veteran Ivan Pace Jr. drops to just four snaps. Golday, a 6‑4, 240‑lb 2nd‑round pick, now totals eight tackles and a forced fumble and could become a key matchup piece against the Lions’ offense in Week 8.
