In a candid moment after Game 3, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch addressed Anthony Edwards' limited minutes, revealing a mix of caution and practicality. "He probably could have played more, but there was no point at that stage," Finch explained, referencing both Edwards' recent physical struggles and the lopsided 50-point deficit. "Given what he's been through, pulling him out was the smart call."
When pressed about whether Edwards is nearing a return to the starting lineup, Finch offered a hopeful update: "He's getting there." This tempered optimism suggests the young star is on the mend, but the team is prioritizing his long-term health over short-term heroics—a wise move in a grueling playoff series.
For fans tracking Edwards' journey, this moment underscores the resilience that defines great athletes. As he works back to full strength, his game-worn gear or a replica jersey could be the perfect way to show support. After all, every comeback starts with a single step—or in this case, a smart decision on the bench.
