Anthony Edwards Angling To Play In Game 1 Tonight

Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards is lobbying to play tonight in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Spurs, Shams Charania of ESPN tweets.

Edwards was a significant participant in Timberwolves shootaround this morning, according to Charania. Edwards and the team’s medical staff will make a final decision on his status later today.

On Sunday, the team upgraded Edwards to questionable. Edwards missed the last two games of the Wolves’ series against the Nuggets after hyperextending his left knee and was initially considered week-to-week with the injury. Edwards played just 18 minutes and made only one field goal in Game 4 of the series before sitting out.

Injuries limited Edwards to 61 games during the regular season, making him ineligible for postseason awards.
