The Timberwolves stole Game 1 in San Antonio, but all eyes now turn to Anthony Edwards. After his improbable return from a knee injury, Minnesota has revealed his latest status for Game 2 against the Spurs. Yankee Scores reports.
Edwards’ Remarkable Comeback
Just nine days after hyperextending his left knee in the first round against Denver, Edwards suited up for Game 1. Coming off the bench, he delivered 18 points on 8‑of‑13 shooting, adding three rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes. His performance inspired teammates and gave Minnesota the edge in a 104‑102 win.
Official Injury Report
As Game 2 approaches, the Timberwolves listed Edwards as questionable with a left knee bone bruise. It’s the same designation he carried before Game 1, when he ultimately played despite concerns. The team has not clarified whether he will start or continue easing back in off the bench.

What It Means for Minnesota
Edwards is the offensive engine for the Timberwolves, and his presence changes the dynamic of the series. Even with lingering knee issues, he remains one of the NBA’s brightest stars, already earning four All‑Star nods and two All‑NBA honors. Minnesota hopes his resilience can push them toward a third straight Western Conference Finals appearance.
Looking Ahead
The Spurs will adjust defensively after seeing Edwards back on the floor, while Minnesota weighs how much to lean on their star in Game 2. His availability could be the difference between building momentum or letting San Antonio even the series.
