For some reason, Anthony Edwards actually played better for his Minnesota Timberwolves after an injury on Thursday night.

Edwards had to leave the court midway through the second quarter of Game 2 against the Golden State Warriors.

But he came back looking better than ever, a true sign of his resilience and strength.

Following the game, Julius Randle talked about Edwards and what he is capable of.

“He’s one of the more resilient people that I know,” Randle told ESPN. “Nothing holds him down. He never misses games. For as much attention and effort teams do to try to stop him, he’s never one to sit out a game. … I don’t know, he’s like Ironman. I’ve seen him get hit, get knocked down so many times. Better off, he’s like Wolverine. He gets hurt and he does something in the back. I don’t know what the hell he does … but he comes out and he balls. That’s what he does.”

Comparing him to a Wolverine makes sense because Edwards can be downright ferocious and unstoppable on the court.

His ankle was already questionable because of an injury he suffered during his team’s opening round against the Los Angeles Lakers.

So when he hurt it again on Thursday, people feared the worst.

They thought he was going to miss the rest of the game, or beyond, when he limped to the locker room.

Instead, Edwards spent time getting treated and then came back.

He then scored 13 of his 20 points on 4-of-6 shooting after halftime.

Edwards clearly wanted to win, and he wasn’t going to let a nagging injury get in his way.

Now, everyone is wondering how he will look for Game 3.

Will this injury subside completely, or will he struggle and not be at 100 percent?
