Gearing up for their highly anticipated series against the San Antonio Spurs, the Minnesota Timberwolves fan base is anxiously awaiting an official decision on Anthony Edwards‘ status for Game 1. Adding to the intrigue, teammate Julius Randle delivered a cryptic message regarding the availability of the Wolves’ superstar.
When asked about Edwards’ status for Monday’s clash, Randle offered a firm “I can’t tell you that,” before doubling down on the mystery. “Who knows? We’ll see at 8:30,” Randle told reporters, referring to the scheduled tip-off time.
Randle’s comments ahead of this pivotal matchup have sparked a wave of cautious optimism among the Twin Cities faithful, who are desperate to see their leading man on the floor against San Antonio.
After grinding through a grueling series against the Denver Nuggets—a battle that saw Nikola Jokic offer no apologies for the Jalen Daniels incident—the Timberwolves are now looking to topple another Western Conference titan in the Spurs.

While Randle played coy with the media, ESPN’s Shams Charania provided a more concrete update. “Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards is expected to play in Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs, barring any setback pregame,” Charania reported via X.
Despite a lingering knee injury, Edwards has reportedly stayed on track with an aggressive rehabilitation plan. Expectations for his performance remain sky-high, as he has been the undisputed engine driving the Wolves through this deep postseason run.
