Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) – Minnesota star Anthony Edwards has been listed as “questionable” for the Timberwolves’ NBA second-round series opener against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday with a left knee injury.
Edwards suffered a bone bruise when he hyperextended his left knee on an awkward landing in game four of the Timberwolves’ first-round series against the Denver Nuggets, missing the next two games of Minnesota’s triumph. ESPN reported that Edwards went through a light workout this weekend and traveled with the team to San Antonio, citing unnamed sources in reporting there is “growing optimism” that Edwards could return to the lineup during the second round.

Edwards was already managing a nagging right knee problem that sidelined him late in the regular season. A return this week would be a huge boost for the Timberwolves in their duel with Victor Wembanyama and the second-seeded Spurs.
Minnesota will be without Donte DiVincenzo for the rest of the playoffs after he suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon in the same game in which Edwards was hurt. They also listed guard Ayo Dosunmu — who scored 43 points in the Timberwolves’ game-three win over the Nuggets — as questionable for Monday with a sore right calf.
