The Timberwolves will have their top player for Wednesday’s Game 2 against the Spurs, as Anthony Edwards is officially playing. He was originally listed as questionable as a precautionary measure due to his ongoing recovery from a knee hyperextension in the first round.

Edwards’ return in Game 1 came as something of a surprise, but he managed to score 18 points in his 25 minutes while helping lead the Wolves to an upset victory over the Spurs with some timely shot-making.

Head coach Chris Finch said that the team will hopefully be able to increase his minutes restriction tonight, per Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic (via Twitter), and will come off the bench for the second straight game, per the Timberwolves’ Twitter.

We have more injury notes from around the league:

• Carter Bryant has been cleared to play for the Spurs in Game 2, The Athletic’s Jared Weiss writes (Twitter link). Bryant missed Game 1 due to a right foot sprain and came into Wednesday with an uncertain outlook. His status was determined after going through warmups, Tom Orsborn reports for the San Antonio Express-News (Twitter link). Bryant played just 46 minutes in the first round, but he is one of the few players on the Spurs’ roster with the size to match up with the Wolves’ Julius Randle.
• Lakers fans are impatient for the return of their superstar, Luka Doncic, but it’s not worth it for him to rush back and risk a more severe injury, Melissa Rohlin writes for the New York Post. Doncic knows this, as he has dealt with similar conundrums in the past. “It’s a tough one for me because I came back from injuries before too soon, and it wasn’t the best result,” he said. “But like I say, this is the first time I have the hamstring injury. It’s not the same like other injuries. You have to be very careful.”
• The Lakers are already expecting to be without two rotation players for Game 2: Jarred Vanderbilt, who is doubtful due to a nasty-looking finger injury, and Round 1 hero Luke Kennard, who has been listed as doubtful with neck soreness.
