The Minnesota Timberwolves face a pivotal Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, but they might have to do it shorthanded. After splitting the first two games in San Antonio—including a blowout loss in Game 2—the Timberwolves return to Minneapolis looking to reclaim control of the Western Conference semifinals. However, their injury report lists three key players, headlined by superstar Anthony Edwards.

Edwards is listed as questionable due to a bone bruise in his left knee, an injury he's managed to play through in the first two games. Even if he suits up, the Timberwolves may opt to bring him off the bench and limit his minutes to keep him fresh. Also questionable is guard Ayo Dosunmu, who is dealing with right heel soreness after leaving Wednesday's loss early. Dosunmu is in danger of missing his second game of the series, which could open the door for Bones Hyland, Terrence Shannon Jr., or veteran Mike Conley to see increased roles.

Adding to the injury woes, Donte DiVincenzo has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn Achilles in the first round. For a Timberwolves team that thrives on depth, these absences could test their resilience against a Spurs squad that's proven dangerous on the road.

Game 3 tips off at 9:30 p.m. ET from the Target Center and will be broadcast on Amazon Prime Video. With the series tied 1-1, every possession matters—and how Minnesota manages its banged-up roster could determine whether they seize home-court advantage or fall behind.
