Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable for Monday night's Game 1 of the Minnesota Timberwolves' playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs. While the All-Star guard has been cleared for on-court basketball activities, reports indicate he will miss the start of the second-round series.
Edwards is recovering from a left knee hyperextension and bone bruise suffered during Game 4 of Minnesota's first-round series against Denver. The injury occurred barely a week before the upcoming series opener.
Despite the uncertainty for Game 1, there is growing optimism that Edwards could return as early as Games 3 or 4. His return would be highly anticipated, as he averaged 36.7 points in three games against San Antonio this season.
