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.

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.

NY Giants Lead the NFC East at the Bye: Are They Real Contenders?
The New York Giants enter their Week 8 bye atop the NFC East with a 4‑2‑1 record, sitting as the conference’s third seed behind the Vikings and 49ers. Their lead rests on razor‑thin margins—a +2 point differential (163‑161) and three wins by a touchdown or less, including overtime victories over the Titans, Washington and Houston. Backup quarterback J.J. McCarthy, thrust into the starter role after Jaxson Dart’s injury, has posted efficient starts but yet to face a comeback scenario. Defensively, the Giants rank 18th in points allowed, rely on takeaways, and are hit by key injuries to Brian Burns, Tremaine Edmunds and Jevon Holland. After the bye they face the Eagles and Commanders in back‑to‑back division games; winning both could cement a two‑game cushion, while a split would expose the fragility of their slim point differential. Coach John Harbaugh stresses the first‑place spot is an opportunity, not a guarantee, and the next two weeks will test if it’s earned.
NBA reveals Cavs benefited from two missed calls late in win over Timberwolves
The Cleveland Cavaliers rally from a 15‑point deficit to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 127‑125 in overtime, but the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report reveals two critical officiating errors that favored Cleveland. Anthony Edwards should have received free throws late in regulation after a contact with James Harden, and LaMelo Ball was incorrectly charged with a foul on a tie‑up with Donovan Mitchell. Both missed calls potentially altered the final seconds, though the Cavs still secure the win.
Anthony Edwards to Miss Two Months With Surgery
Anthony Edwards scores a season‑high 47 points for the Minnesota Timberwolves, then learns he will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and miss up to two months, per ESPN’s Shams Charania (Oct. 27, 2026). The All‑NBA guard has battled “runner’s knee” and a hyper‑extended left knee this postseason, but the Wolves’ medical staff opts for a longer‑term fix. With Edwards out, Tim Connelly’s deep guard corps—Ayo Dosunmu, Terrence Shannon Jr., Jaylen Clark and Bones Hyland—must step up, while LaMelo Ball and Jaden McDaniels assume leadership. Edwards’ projected return is late December, likely ending his award and contract‑extension prospects for the season.
