Key Points:
- Anthony Edwards is expected to play in Game 1 Monday night between the Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs after receiving medical clearance following a bone bruise in his left knee sustained in Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets.
- Edwards was previously considered questionable for Game 1, with earlier reports suggesting he might return as late as Game 3 or 4, but his knee responded well to treatment over the weekend, prompting a potential earlier return.
- Edwards missed Games 5 and 6 against Denver but avoided serious ligament damage, and his presence is crucial for Minnesota’s competitiveness against the Spurs, who feature MVP finalist Victor Wembanyama.
- The Timberwolves will be without Ayo Dosunmu for Game 1 due to a calf injury; Dosunmu had been a key contributor during Edwards’ absence, including a career-high 43-point game in Game 4 against Denver.
