Double-double in Game 3 loss
Edwards finished Friday's 115-108 loss to San Antonio in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 32 points (12-26 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one block in 41 minutes.
Análisis
Edwards shined in his return to the starting lineup, providing steady offense while his teammates were struggling, and he closed out the first quarter with 12 straight points. This was the best that Edwards has looked since returning from the knee injury, and considering he logged 41 minutes, it's safe to say he's no longer dealing with any sort of minutes restrictions.

Starting in Game 3
Edwards is in the starting lineup for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus the Spurs.
Análisis
Edwards came off the bench in Games 1 and 2, but he'll return as a starter for Game 3 in Minnesota, shifting Terrence Shannon back to the second unit. Edwards is averaging 18.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 triples per game as a starter this postseason.

Available for Game 3
Edwards (knee) is available for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Análisis
As expected, Edwards carried a questionable designation heading into this contest. However, he is good to go. The 24-year-old has struggled during this series, averaging 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.5 blocks across 24.5 minutes. It's unknown when Edwards will return to the starting lineup, although Terrence Shannon will presumably remain in his place for now.

Tagged questionable for Game 3
Edwards is questionable for Friday's Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs due to a left knee bone bruise.
Análisis
Edwards has come off the bench in each of the first two games of this series, and while he impressed in Game 1, he wasn't nearly as impactful in Wednesday's Game 2, as he was held to 12 points and three rebounds in 24 minutes. If Edwards is cleared to suit up for Game 3, it would be reasonable to expect that he'll remain on a minutes restriction.

Ineffective in Game 2 loss
Edwards ended with 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 133-95 loss to San Antonio in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Análisis
Edwards, despite playing in his second straight game, appeared limited on both ends of the floor. While he has technically been cleared to compete, one has to wonder whether he would be out there if this were the regular season. In his two appearances against the Spurs, Edwards has averaged 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers. With the series now locked at 1-1, both teams will be looking to gain the upper hand in Game 3, which is slated for Friday in Minnesota.

Will play in Game 2
Edwards (knee) will play in Game 2 against the Spurs on Wednesday, Raul Dominguez Jr. of the Associated Press reports.
Análisis
Head coach Chris Finch said that Edwards could see increased minutes Wednesday night, but it will depend on how he feels. Edwards saw 25 minutes off the bench in Game 1 and finished with 18 points, three rebounds, three assists, two triples and one block in the win.

Warming up ahead of Game 2
Edwards (knee) was spotted warming up ahead of Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus San Antonio, Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Análisis
Edwards remains listed as questionable on the league's official injury report, although the latest update is an encouraging sign regarding his availability for Game 2. The 24-year-old surprisingly returned for Monday's opener, finishing with 18 points, three rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes. Assuming Edwards is cleared to suit up, he might see more minutes, and it's possible he plays better now that he had a game to shake off the residual rust caused by the extended absence.

Questionable for Game 2
Edwards (knee) is questionable for Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Wednesday.
Análisis
Edwards played limited minutes off the bench in Monday's Game 1 win following a two-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise and hyperextension, posting 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes. If he's cleared to play ahead of Game 2, the superstar guard will likely remain on a minutes restriction.

Seals Game 1 with clutch quarter
Edwards (knee) posted 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes off the bench Monday in the Timberwolves' 104-102 win over the Spurs in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Análisis
After hyperextending his left knee and sustaining a bone bruise in Game 4 of the first round, Edwards missed the final two games of the Timberwolves' series victory over the Nuggets and was also expected to remain sidelined for at least the first two games of the second round. The star guard ended up making quicker progress than expected, however, and after the Timberwolves listed him as questionable heading into Monday's contest, Edwards was given the green light to play prior to tipoff. In an effort to manage his minutes, the Timberwolves brought Edwards off the bench, and the 24-year-old was able to provide some efficient complementary scoring behind Julius Randle's team-high 21 points. Edwards was at his best in the final period, pouring in 11 of his points in the fourth to help Minnesota secure the upset win on the road. Assuming he didn't aggravate the knee injury, Edwards could move back into the starting five and take on more minutes in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Coming off bench in Game 1
Edwards (knee) will come off the bench in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against San Antonio on Monday.
Análisis
Edwards was cleared to play in Monday's Game 1 after missing the last two games of the first-round series against the Nuggets due to a left knee bone bruise and hyperextension, and it seems Minnesota will ease him back into action. This decision is likely made easier by the fact that Terrence Shannon played well with the first unit in Game 7 of the first round. Anthony Slater of ESPN.com states that Edwards will be on a minutes restriction Monday evening, though the team hasn't disclosed any specific number or minute range.
