The Timberwolves took care of business on Thursday night to knock out the Nuggets in Game 6 and advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs, where they’re set to face off against the No. 2-seeded Spurs.
As Minnesota prepares to battle another Western Conference juggernaut, they may be short-handed with star Anthony Edwards still recovering from a bone bruise he suffered in Game 4’s win vs. the Nuggets. Edwards jumped up for a block but landed awkwardly and appeared to hyperextend his left knee; he was helped off the court into the locker room and later was ruled out for the rest of the contest.
