[Krawczynski] Edwards has been doing around-the-clock treatment on his injured left knee, and he has told teammates he plans on returning at some point in the series, team sources told The Athletic.
Team sources have told The Athletic that Edwards has been communicating to teammates his plans to join them at some point in this series. The teams play every other day through the first five potential games of the series. There will be two days off between Games 5 and 6 if that is necessary. Game 2 is Wednesday in San Antonio. The series shifts to Minnesota for Game 3 on Friday and Game 4 on Sunday.
That backs what Wolves coach Chris Finch said before Game 5 of Minnesota’s series against the Denver Nuggets when he said that if the Wolves could extend their playoff run beyond the first round “we will be lucky enough to get him back.” Finch said Saturday after practice that Edwards’ “week-to-week” designation has not changed. The team has not issued an official timeline for his return, making it all but impossible for him to play in Game 1 on Monday.
Edwards has been doing everything he can in an effort to hasten his return to the court. He did sit on the bench for the clinching Game 6 win over the Nuggets, because he was getting treatment for his injury, league sources told The Athletic.
