The San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves open their second-round NBA playoff series tonight, May 5, 2026. The Spurs have been resting since sweeping their first-round series, while the Timberwolves advanced after a hard-fought seven-game series.
Minnesota may be without key players due to injuries sustained in the previous round. The status of star guard Anthony Edwards is uncertain after he suffered an ankle sprain in Game 7. The Timberwolves have not confirmed his availability for tonight's game.
San Antonio enters the series well-rested and with a full roster. The Spurs' balanced attack, led by Victor Wembanyama, has been effective throughout the playoffs. The team has not played since April 28, giving them a full week of preparation.
Game 1 tips off at 8:00 PM Central Time at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. The series is expected to be competitive, with both teams having strong defensive ratings during the regular season.
