The Spurs and the Timberwolves are two of basketball’s finest young sides, employing a collection of bouncy young talents who buzz around both sides of the courts.
Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards lead the way for the youthful teams, making their presence felt as two-way stars. Wembanyama flaunted his multifaceted skillset in San Antonio‘s opening round series against the Trail Blazers, producing highlights in bunches (when healthy) as the Spurs secured a 4-2 win.
Edwards was slightly less involved, felled by a knee injury he suffered partway through Minnesota‘s clash with the Nuggets. The Timberwolves found a way in the end, taking advantage of glistening displays by Jaden McDaniels, Ayo Dosunmu and Rudy Gobert. Edwards plans on returning at some point in the series; recent reports indicate he could take to the floor as soon as Game 1.
With that, here’s what you need to know about the Game 1 matchup between the Spurs and Timberwolves, including broadcast information and start time.
