The Minnesota Timberwolves chose Georgia guard Anthony Edwards with the first pick in the National Basketball Association Draft Wednesday night, which had been delayed multiple times because of the pandemic.

The draft was held virtually, with Commissioner Adam Silver announcing the selections from ESPN’s studios. The Golden State Warriors chose Memphis center James Wiseman with the second pick, and guard Lamelo Ball, who skipped college to play professionally overseas, was taken third by the Charlotte Hornets.

 

Warriors' Thompson Injured Again

The Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson injured his right leg Wednesday and is set to have an MRI today, with reports saying the team is concerned it may be a significant Achilles injury.

ESPN reported Thompson was injured during a workout. Thompson was looking to return after missing all of last season due to a left ACL tear he suffered during the 2019 NBA Finals.
