Rising Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards will miss the remainder of the Team USA training camp in Las Vegas after suffering a mild ankle sprain during Wednesday's practice, sources told ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
Edwards was one of 17 players named to the USA Basketball Select Team, a group of players training alongside the senior roster ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.
