Anthony Edwards expected to return for Game 1 against Spurs

Anthony Edwards is expected to play in Game 1 of the series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the San Antonio Spurs, barring any setback during pregame warmups.

According to ESPN, Edwards has received medical clearance just nine days after his left knee injury. Over the past several days, he underwent multiple treatments, including hyperbaric chamber sessions, to speed up his recovery timeline.

For Minnesota, it would be an earlier-than-expected return after the team initially projected him to come back around midseries. Edwards will go through pregame warmups with the plan to play Game 1.
