Anthony Edwards made a surprise return from a hyperextended left knee, leading the Minnesota Timberwolves to a victory over the San Antonio Spurs in a sold-out Frost Bank Center on May 5, 2026. Edwards, who had been sidelined for 10 days, scored 28 points and added 7 assists in the 115-108 win.
Despite the loss, Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama set a playoff record for most blocks in a game by a rookie, with 8 blocks to go along with 22 points and 12 rebounds. The record was previously held by Tim Duncan with 7 blocks in 1998.
The Timberwolves now lead the series 2-1, with Game 4 scheduled for May 7 in San Antonio. Edwards' return was a boost for Minnesota, which had struggled offensively in his absence.
