Timberwolves fend off Oklahoma City 106-103 after Anthony Edwards leaves game with injury

The fun of watching Anthony Edwards includes the possibility that Edwards will come up with an acrobatic, physics-defying dunk over one of his opponents. It's a move the Timberwolves guard has executed multiple times, and he knows how it can energize his team and the crowd.

But in Tuesday's 106-103 win over the Thunder, Edwards showed there's a risk that comes with that, and now the Wolves promising start to the season faces its first challenge if Edwards is out for a period of time.

After trying to dunk over the Thunder's Kenrich Williams with 3 minutes, 33 seconds remaining in the third quarter, Edwards landed hard on the floor with his right hip taking a direct hit.
