🤕 After making a historical return for Game 1, Edwards seemed a bit uncomfortable jumping and sprinting, but it is likely a conditioning issue.

As they prepare for Game 2 against the Spurs, his presence is vital to maintaining their series momentum. However, his status is uncertain due to ongoing knee issues, making him a game-time decision. Will he elevate the Timberwolves to new heights, or will they have to rely on their depth to fend off the Spurs?
Edwards Reflects on Game 1 Crunch-Time Errors
During Game 1, Edwards had a rough time finding his rhythm, looking a bit hesitant while jumping and sprinting—probably just a conditioning thing. Meanwhile, after the game, Edwards opened up about his disappointment in himself, reflecting on the mistakes he made in crunch time.
“Ah man, I made so many mistakes at the end of the game. I’m disappointed in myself… For me, 75% of the game for me is my mind. My mind’s got to be where it needs to be and in the last 2 minutes of the game, it wasn’t. I gave up 2 offensive rebounds, turned the ball over. Yeah. I’ll be better. We’ve just got to stay locked in on the game-plan, especially myself man. I can’t give up 2 offensive rebounds to Champagnie. I may not be as athletic as I usually am, but I’ve got to be able to box out, make the small plays to win the big time games,” Edwards said.
