Overview
- The Timberwolves, which officially cleared Edwards for on-court work Monday, listed him questionable for the Western semifinal opener in San Antonio.
- Edwards sustained a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise in Round 1 and missed Games 5 and 6, with earlier team guidance describing his timeline as week to week.
- Weekend reporting indicated he was unlikely to play right away, as staff monitored him during light workouts and a brief free-throw session at practice Saturday.
- Minnesota’s guard depth is strained after Donte DiVincenzo’s ruptured Achilles ended his postseason and Ayo Dosunmu was listed questionable with right calf soreness.
- San Antonio enters as a strong favorite, with Victor Wembanyama cleared from concussion protocol with no minutes limit and analytics and sportsbooks projecting a Spurs edge for Game 1 and the series.
