The injury isn’t believed to be serious, though Edwards will miss the rest of training camp.
The Select Team beat the U.S. men’s basketball team in the scrimmage, Windhorst noted.
Edwards averaged 19.3 points and 4.7 rebounds last season, finishing runner-up to the Hornets’ LaMelo Ball in Rookie of the Year voting. Edwards was selected by the Timberwolves with the No. 1 overall draft pick.
