What happened to Anthony Edwards?

Ant has often played despite being questionable this season. His history suggests that he's likely to play when listed as questionable. If he's unable to play, Nickeil Alexander-Walker is expected to start in his place.

On Tuesday against the Spurs, the two-time All-Star experienced an ankle injury, necessitating assistance to get to the locker room. He twisted his left ankle while making a sharp cut to catch a pass.

After briefly leaving with a left ankle injury, Ant returned to put on a remarkable show, taking a season-high 29 shots.

In his last nine appearances, he has displayed exceptional scoring ability, notching up at least 25 points in nine games. He also made a notable impact defensively, achieving a season-high four steals against the Spurs.

In the 108-106 defeat to the Orlando Magic on Feb. 2, Anthony Edwards briefly left the game to head to the locker room in the first half, following an apparent right ankle injury. He has been sidelined for three games this season, all due to a hip injury incurred in November.
