The Minnesota Timberwolves are facing a major challenge before Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals even tips off. Headlining their injury report are star guard Anthony Edwards and key contributor Ayo Dosunmu, both listed as questionable for Monday night's road matchup against the San Antonio Spurs.
Edwards is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, an injury that initially raised concerns about a multi-week absence. However, there's growing optimism that the dynamic scorer could suit up for the series opener. If he's sidelined, the Timberwolves will likely lean on Bones Hyland and veteran Mike Conley to fill the scoring void.
Dosunmu, meanwhile, is battling right calf soreness and is in danger of missing his second consecutive game. Adding to the injury woes, Donte DiVincenzo has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn Achilles.
Minnesota enters this contest with momentum, having closed out the Denver Nuggets in Game 6 of the first round behind standout performances from Jaden McDaniels and Terrence Shannon Jr. Now, they'll look to steal home-court advantage in San Antonio and grab a 1-0 series lead.
Game 1 is set for 9:30 p.m. ET on Monday, with coverage available on Peacock. For the Timberwolves, the key question remains: will their stars be healthy enough to answer the bell?
