Anthony Edwards showcased resilience in the face of adversity during the Minnesota Timberwolves' recent victory over the Golden State Warriors, a game that Edwards dubbed as the biggest of their careers. Despite reinjuring his left ankle in the second quarter, he returned after halftime to contribute significantly, scoring 20 points and leading the team to a 117-93 win, leveling the Western Conference semifinals at 1-1.

Edwards had initially aggravated the injury from a previous game against the Los Angeles Lakers but managed to excel after halftime. His performance drew admiration from teammates, who likened him to superheroes for his toughness. Edwards expressed both a commitment to improving his finishing at the basket and confidence in being ready for the next game against the Warriors, especially with Stephen Curry sidelined.
