Iron Man! Huazi s left calf was stepped on in the half and still returned. Experts once diagnosed a serious sprain in the ankle joint

On May 9, the Timberwolves vs. the Warriors' G2. In the second quarter of this game, Edwards was stepped on the left calf by Davis and entered the locker room. Edwards returned before the opening of the third quarter. I have to say that Edwards is really an iron man.

The Warriors did not have Curry's offensive weaknesses in the first quarter. They were beaten 13-0 by the Timberwolves without 3 and a half points at the beginning. Kerr called two timeouts in the first quarter. Fortunately, both timeouts took effect, because the score difference reached 18 points at most. If it weren't for Kerr's timeout, they would have gone to the 20+ gap in the first quarter. The Warriors also want to thank Gobert for missing the butter hand three times at the basket. Overall, the Timberwolves' play was not good, but the Warriors were too bad. The dream chase in the second quarter is coming again. He elbowed Reed in the neck/head and took a technical foul. After this technical foul, the Timberwolves fans became even more crazy. The shouts resounded throughout the stadium, and the Timberwolves also scored 9-4 to lead to 21 points.

Unexpectedly, Edwards then stepped on his left calf directly on it by Davis, and then Edwards covered his left calf in great pain. After Finch was suspended, the Timberwolves doctor immediately entered the court to check for Edwards, and the fans in the audience were also praying for Ant-Man Huazi.

Huazi's left calf was seriously injured. He was supported by two team doctors and entered the locker room. Huazi only played 14 minutes in the first half and scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists and entered the locker room early. The playback shows TDJ stepping heavily on Edwards' calf and stepping twice in a row. This action will inevitably cause serious consequences regardless of whether TDJ is unintentional or not. The Timberwolves official has not announced Hua Zi's injury yet.

After the Timberwolves played 56-39 in the first half, it was predictable that the Warriors fell behind the Timberwolves without Curry, but unfortunately they could not expect Huazi to be injured.

Medical expert Evan Jeffries analyzed Hua Zi's injury: Hua Zi injured her left ankle in G2 and was worried about possible injuries:

1. Height sprain of the ankle joint (based on forced valgus);

2. Ankle fracture (requires X-ray detection);

Then he wrote: It is not known whether Hua Zi will return due to an ankle sprain. Based on the injury mechanism (forced valgus), he is likely to have suffered a very serious "ankle sprain".

But before the third quarter started, Edwards returned to the court, and he began to use the elastic strap to feel the force of his left leg, which seemed to be fine.
