To alleviate some fears on Wolves fans, Anthony Edwards suffered from runners knee last year, which is rarely treated with surgery as it’s related to inflammation of joints in the knee. Surgery can’t really help with inflammation, inflammation is in common terms blood swelling in a joint that puts pressure on the nerves thus causing pain. Surgery just wouldn’t do anything to e frank. In fact, John’s Hopkins and Mayo Clinic don’t even list surgery as a possible treatment option. This leads me to believe it’s a completely unrelated injury to the runners knee from last year. According to my research the most common arthroscopic knee surgery in the US is a partial meniscus tear repair. That also comes with about a 2 month recovery, and needs to be operated on because a tear can get worse. Purely speculative but it would make a lot of sense if he partially tore it against Toronto, didn’t have many symptoms or pain, cleared the physical to play yesterday then had it pop up on an MRI today. Just my medical opinion but I’d be surprised if this injury has anything to do with the Wolves “mismanaging” Edwards in any way, or Edwards doing something wrong.
