MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards injured his hamstring early in the first quarter of the home opener on Sunday night, and the team announced he would not return to the game.

Edwards converted a tough layup in traffic off a fast break with 3:07 elapsed in the game against Indiana, taking hard contact before looking for a foul call, which was not given. The Pacers called a timeout one second later, and Bones Hyland substituted in for Edwards during the break.

Prior to this game, Edwards was listed as questionable to play in Minnesota’s season opener at Portland on Wednesday night, where he scored 41 points in 39 minutes. The three-time All-Star has been remarkably durable throughout his career, having played in 426 of a possible 445 games, including the playoffs.

The Timberwolves and their fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for Edwards as they navigate the early part of the season.
