The Timberwolves face a challenging matchup against the Spurs on May 4 at the Frost Bank Center, with uncertainty surrounding Anthony Edwards’ availability for Game 1. Will he be cleared in time?
The stakes are high as the Timberwolves look to build on their momentum from a hard-fought first-round victory over the Denver Nuggets, where they triumphed 4-2. But with the Spurs, who won an impressive 62 games this season and secured the No. 2 seed in the West, they’re up against a formidable opponent.
Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ standout rookie, has already made waves this season. “He’s played a huge role in my journey,” he said, reflecting on his growth and inspiration from others. Yet it’s not just about him; the entire Spurs squad poses a significant threat.
Without Edwards, who is currently listed as questionable due to injury, predictions become murky. A fully healthy Timberwolves team—with Edwards driving and creating—could put up points on the Spurs and make this a series. But without him? The dynamics shift drastically.
Where to watch:
- Game 1: Broadcast on Peacock and NBC Sports Network at 8:30 p.m.
- Game 2: ESPN at 8:30 p.m.
- Game 3: Prime Video at 8:30 p.m.
- Game 4: NBC and Peacock at 6:30 p.m.
The exact broadcast times for Games 5, 6, and 7 are still TBD. As fans gear up for this clash in San Antonio, all eyes will be on Edwards’ status—his presence could very well determine how competitive this series becomes.
