Mentioned in this story

The Minnesota Timberwolves survived and advanced past the Denver Nuggets despite Anthony Edwards missing two-plus games of their first-round playoff series with a bone bruise in his left knee.
Up next is a second-round playoff matchup against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in which the Timberwolves are expected to need Edwards to have a reasonable chance of pulling off an upset. Per a report on Sunday, thereâs a chance that Edwards could return to the Timberwolvesâ lineup when the series shifts back to Minnesota.
ESPNâs Shams Charania reported on âNBA Tip-Offâ that Edwards traveled with the team to San Antonio, where the series will tip off with Game 1 Monday. Edwards has returned to light workouts, but isnât expected to play in Games 1 or 2, per the report.
But Charania reports that Edwards is âhopeful that he could push to be back in the lineup potentially for Game 3 or Game 4 at the earliest.â Game 3 is scheduled for Friday in Minnesota. Game 4 will take place next Sunday.
Charania also noted that âMinnesota is going to be conservativeâ in bringing Edwards back due in part to inflammation in his right knee that sidelined him for the stretch run of the regular season.
But the prospect of Edwards returning in time to impact the series is certainly good news for the Timberwolves, especially considering the initial scare around his injury. Edwards hyper-extended his left knee in Game 4, prompting initial fears that heâd sustained a long-term injury.
The bone bruise sidelined him for Games 5 and 6 as the Timberwolves closed out the series without him, but he avoided more serious ligament damage. And now, with a spot in the Western Conference finals at stake, thereâs hope in Minnesota that Edwards could return to take on the Spurs.
