What happened to Anthony Edwards?

During Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Edwards suffered an apparent ankle injury and had to be assisted to the locker room. While attempting to cut aggressively to receive a pass, he rolled his left ankle.

Following his brief exit due to a right ankle injury, Ant managed to deliver an impressive performance, attempting a season-high 29 shots.

Over his past nine games, he has consistently showcased his scoring prowess, achieving at least 25 points in eight of those contests.

Additionally, he contributed significantly on the defensive end as well, recording a season-high four steals.

During the 108-106 loss against the Orlando Magic on Feb. 2, he momentarily exited to the locker room in the first half due to an apparent right ankle injury incurred during the contest.

This particular injury has not caused him to miss any games. Instead, his absences from play this season, which amount to three games, were all a result of a hip injury he sustained in November.
