The latest injury report for the Western Conference showdown between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder brings key updates:
Anthony Edwards is officially available, while Isaiah Hartenstein will return from a month-long absence for the Thunder.
Timberwolves Injury Report: Edwards Cleared, Gobert Questionable
Anthony Edwards is
officially off the injury report and will play Thursday after being
listed as questionable on Wednesday. However, All-Star center Rudy Gobert is
listed as questionable with a left ankle sprain, putting him in
danger of missing his first game since January 17. His potential absence would
mean larger roles for Naz Reid and Joan Beringer. The
Timberwolves have ruled out Mike Conley (back spasms) and Terrence
Shannon Jr. (foot).
Thunder Injury Report: Hartenstein Returns, Wallace Questionable
In a major boost,
center Isaiah Hartenstein is off the injury report and will

Wallace is questionable with hip soreness. The Thunder remain
without several rotation players: Jalen Williams, Nikola Topic, Thomas
Sorber, Alex Caruso, and Ajay Mitchell are all ruled out.
