Anthony Edwards to undergo knee surgery as Timberwolves star faces up to two months out

• Four-time All-Star needs arthroscopic procedure on knee

• Edwards averaging 33.3 points through first four games

• Absence could rule Wolves star out of awards contention

Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards needs an arthroscopic procedure to alleviate issues with his right knee and will miss several weeks, a person with knowledge of the matter said Tuesday.

The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Timberwolves had yet to make any public announcements of Edwards' plan to have the operation. A more precise timetable for Edwards' return will be known after surgery, the person said.
