Anthony Edwards will miss the beginning of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ second-round series, but there is growing optimism that he could return before the matchup is over.
Edwards, one of the central figures in Minnesota’s postseason run, could be available as early as Game 3 or Game 4. His absence at the start of the series leaves the Timberwolves without their primary offensive engine and a key perimeter presence as they open the next stage of the playoffs.
Timberwolves Await Potential Mid-Series Boost
Minnesota advanced to the second round and will begin the series without Edwards in the lineup. While the team will have to adjust initially, the possibility of his return in the middle of the series provides a significant development to monitor.
No firm return date has been set, and Edwards’ availability will remain tied to how he progresses ahead of Games 3 and 4. For now, the Timberwolves are preparing to open the series without him while keeping the door open for a potential mid-series return.
