The Minnesota Timberwolves upgraded Anthony Edwards to questionable for Monday’s Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs, the club announced. The guard sat out the final two games of the previous round versus Denver after hyperextending his left knee and had initially been labeled week-to-week.
Vice president of medical operations and performance David Hine said teammates call Edwards “Wolverine” because of his ability to recover quickly. Spurs center Victor Wembanyama told reporters he hopes Edwards can play, adding that he enjoys competing against both Edwards and the injured Donte DiVincenzo.
