Returns from Knee Injury to Spark Game 1 Victory Over Spurs

After missing time since April 25 with a hyperextended knee and bone bruise, Anthony Edwards returned to action for Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs. Despite initial expectations that he would miss the start of the series, Edwards expedited his rehab and came off the bench to help lead Minnesota to a 104-102 win. His return provided a critical spark for the Timberwolves as they secured a narrow victory and stole home-court advantage in the opener.
