Ayo Dosunmu Cleared to Play Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (heel) will be in the lineup on Friday night in Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs. He is ready to play through right heel pain, with the team upgrading Dosunmu's status from questionable to available. Dosunmu had a superb start to the postseason but has lost momentum since running into health issues. Injuries to Dosunmu and Anthony Edwards (knee) have led to Terrence Shannon Jr. taking on a bigger workload. He has played well and might still hold a significant role even with both Edwards and Dosunmu available on Friday night.

Anthony Edwards Available Friday Night
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) has been officially cleared for Friday's Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Edwards has dealt with injuries to both his knees late in the season. He hurt his left knee during the playoffs and has been limited to 24.5 minutes per game since rejoining the lineup. As a result, Edwards has averaged only 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists over the first two games of the second-round series, coming off the bench both times.

Ayo Dosunmu Considered Questionable for Game 3 Against Spurs
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (heel) is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 tilt against the San Antonio Spurs. In Game 2 on Wednesday, Dosunmu was cleared to return from a calf injury but hurt his right heel, exiting after logging just 10 minutes. The questionable tag suggests Dosunmu could be an option for Friday's matchup. If he isn't available, Terrence Shannon Jr. and Mike Conley will continue to have expanded roles, especially if Anthony Edwards (knee) remains under a minutes restriction.

Anthony Edwards Remains Questionable on Injury Report Ahead of Game 3
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) continues to carry a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. He has been upgraded to available in back-to-back games and is likely to remain in the lineup for Game 3. Minnesota has limited Edwards to 24.5 minutes per game since his return from a left knee injury, using him off the bench. Given Edwards' competitive nature, he'll be eager to resume his regular role and minutes as soon as possible, but the team is prioritizing his health. As a result, Edwards can't currently fulfill his maximum fantasy potential.

Ayo Dosunmu Exits Game 2 With Heel Issue
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu didn't complete Wednesday's Game 2 against the San Antonio Spurs due to right heel pain. He played only 10 minutes, recording one steal and one block. Dosunmu missed all four field-goal attempts. The Timberwolves had Dosunmu back in the lineup after he sat out two games with a sore calf. Unfortunately, he ran into a new health issue on Wednesday night, leaving him questionable for Game 3 and beyond. Terrence Shannon Jr. has performed well amid Minnesota's injury woes this postseason and could remain an important cog in the rotation if Dosunmu has to miss more time.

Anthony Edwards Cleared for Game 2 Against Spurs
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (knee) will play in Game 2 against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. The team initially listed Edwards as questionable for Wednesday night, then upgraded him to available. Edwards returned from a knee injury in Game 1, amassing 18 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one block in 25 minutes. Before Game 2, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch told reporters that Edwards "might be able to play a few more minutes." Minnesota also has Ayo Dosunmu back in the mix, so Terrence Shannon Jr.'s playing time will probably decrease substantially. Mike Conley's workload will likely be affected as well.

Ayo Dosunmu is Cleared to Play in Game 2
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) has been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 against the San Antonio Spurs. He's back in action after missing each of the last two games due to a lingering calf injury. The return of Dosunmu is a welcoming sight for Minnesota, as he has been electric since joining the team. Terrence Shannon Jr. should see a reduced role after playing over 30 minutes in each of the last two games. Shannon won't be an appealing DFS option with Dosunmu back in the rotation for Wednesday's game.

Anthony Edwards Iffy for Game 2
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against San Antonio after returning from a two-game absence Monday. He came off the bench in Game 1 and produced 18 points, three rebounds, three assists, and one block in 25 minutes. If active, Edwards could remain on a minutes restriction, which keeps some DFS risk attached despite his high-usage role. Terrence Shannon Jr. could lose minutes if Edwards ramps up, while Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels should remain steady scoring options.

Ayo Dosunmu Listed as Questionable Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against San Antonio after missing two straight playoff contests with right calf soreness. His return would give Minnesota another perimeter defender and secondary creator, but it would likely cut into Terrence Shannon Jr.'s workload after Shannon logged 35 minutes in back-to-back games and posted 16 points and five rebounds in Game 1. Dosunmu carries some DFS risk if active, especially with Anthony Edwards (knee) also questionable, while Shannon remains the main beneficiary if Dosunmu sits again.

Julius Randle Collects First Double-Double of Postseason
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle bagged his first double-double of the 2026 postseason on Monday, contributing a team-high 21 points and 10 rebounds in a 104-102 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. He also had a pair of assists and one steal. Randle went 8-for-20 from the field, including 2-for-6 from downtown. So far, Randle's offensive efforts have steadily improved in the playoffs, but he's having trouble handling the ball. Monday's game marked the fourth consecutive outing for Randle with four or more turnovers. He accounted for half of the team's 10 turnovers in this game. Still, Randle has picked up positive momentum recently and has a key role to play against Victor Wembanyama's crew.

Anthony Edwards Tallies 18 Points in Comeback Game
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards returned from a knee injury with an 18-point effort in Monday's 104-102 road win over the San Antonio Spurs. Edwards logged 25 minutes off the bench and scored 11 points in the fourth quarter. He finished an efficient 8-for-13 from the field, including 2-for-3 from downtown. Minnesota's star man blocked one shot and had three rebounds and three assists. Efficiency from the field has been an issue for Edwards this postseason, and it's a great sign for the Timberwolves that he found his rhythm in the second-round opener. It remains to be seen whether the team will also utilize Edwards off the bench in Game 2 on Wednesday night. Terrence Shannon Jr. did a good job as a starter in Edwards' place on Monday, notching 16 points, five rebounds, and one assist.

Anthony Edwards to Come Off Bench Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) will come off the bench Monday against San Antonio in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals after missing two games with a left knee bone bruise and hyperextension. He has been cleared to play but will operate under an undisclosed minutes restriction, lowering his DFS ceiling. Terrence Shannon Jr. will remain with the first unit after posting 24 points, six rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one three-pointer in 35 minutes against Denver. Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels should also stay heavily involved.

Anthony Edwards Set to Return Monday with Restrictions
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) is available for Monday's Game 1 against San Antonio but is expected to play limited minutes after missing time with a knee injury. Even with a restriction, Edwards remains the focal point offensively, though his ceiling may be capped early in the series. Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels could take on more scoring responsibility, while Mike Conley may see added playmaking duties. Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon Jr. could lose touches with Edwards back, tightening the rotation around Minnesota's primary options.

Ayo Dosunmu is Ruled Out for Game 1 on Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs. Dosunmu sat out during the Game 6 victory over the Denver Nuggets. The lingering calf issue is going to keep him sidelined for at least one more game. The Wolves should be in decent shape as long as Anthony Edwards (knee) is available to play, but he currently carries a questionable tag into this game. Terrence Shannon Jr. gained the most value without Edwards or Dosunmu on the court for Thursday's win over the Nuggets. Without Dosunmu available, Bones Hyland, Jaylen Clark, and Shannon should all benefit from increased playing time.

Kyle Anderson Available for Round 2 Opener
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's Game 1 matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran missed the final game of Round 1 against Denver due to illness. Even when he was healthy, Anderson didn't get much of a look against the Nuggets, averaging just 7.0 minutes per game. He could have a more significant role against San Antonio, depending on the status of Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf). Both are listed as questionable for Monday's game.
