The Minnesota Timberwolves are riding high after closing out the Denver Nuggets in six games with a commanding 110-98 home victory on Thursday, April 30. But as they prepare to face the No. 2-seeded San Antonio Spurs in the second round starting Monday, May 4, one major question looms: Will superstar guard Anthony Edwards be on the court?

Edwards suffered a significant knee injury during Game 4 against the Nuggets, landing awkwardly after a play that caused his left knee to bend unnaturally. The diagnosis: a bone bruise and hyperextension. He's been listed as week-to-week, and while he was spotted shooting free throws at the end of Saturday's practice, his availability for the series opener remains uncertain.

Without Edwards, the Timberwolves face a steep challenge against a Spurs team that has been dominant all season. His absence leaves a major gap in Minnesota's lineup, both offensively and defensively. Still, the team showed resilience in closing out Denver without him, proving they can compete—but the Spurs present a different beast entirely.

As the playoffs heat up, all eyes are on the Timberwolves' star and his road to recovery. For now, fans will have to wait and see if Edwards can suit up for Game 1—or if Minnesota will need to dig even deeper to keep their championship hopes alive.
