Myrtle Beach Florence, SC, October 28, 2026 —
Minnesota Timberwolves president Tim Connelly announced that Anthony Edwards will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. Connelly said no long-term concerns are expected.
The announcement identifies the planned procedure and the knee involved, but provides no further details about Edwards’ condition. It does not specify when the surgery will take place, why the procedure is needed, or how long recovery may take.
The announcement also does not say whether Edwards is expected to miss games or when he might return to play. No information was provided about the team’s plans during his absence, if any. The statement that no long-term concerns are expected is the only prognosis included in the available information.
Connelly’s announcement does not include a timetable for additional updates or name a medical provider. Those details were not provided, and the announcement does not describe the procedure beyond calling it arthroscopic surgery.
For now, the confirmed information is limited to the planned surgery on Edwards’ right knee and the expectation, as stated by Connelly, that there are no long-term concerns. Further details about timing, recovery and his playing status were not included in the announcement.
