Minnesota Timberwolves superstar guard Anthony Edwards is poised to return for Game 1 of the team's second-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, as reported by ESPN. This news comes as a surprise, given that Edwards was initially expected to miss the start of the series due to a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise sustained during the first round.

Edwards has been undergoing intensive treatment and experimenting with various rehabilitation methods to accelerate his recovery. Originally, he was projected to be sidelined for several weeks after the injury occurred on April 25 in Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets. Remarkably, just nine days later, he aims to step onto the court.

On Sunday, Edwards was listed as questionable but was noted as a "significant participant" in the shootaround on Monday morning. Ultimately, the decision rested with the Wolves' medical staff, who have reportedly cleared him to play, although he remains marked as questionable in the latest injury report.

In a video on his YouTube channel, Edwards expressed his determination:

It's the playoffs. I'll go out (there) on one leg if I have to.

If Edwards takes the court, it could significantly alter Minnesota's prospects in this challenging series. The Spurs present a formidable challenge, but a healthy Edwards would address many offensive issues for the Wolves, especially in light of Donte DiVincenzo's absence due to an Achilles injury.
