The latest injury report for the Western Conference showdown between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder provides important updates:
Anthony Edwards is officially available, while Isaiah Hartenstein will return for the Thunder after a month-long absence.
Timberwolves injury report: Edwards cleared, Gobert questionable
Anthony Edwards is officially off the injury report and will play on Thursday after being listed as questionable on Wednesday. However, All-Star center Rudy Gobert is listed as questionable with a sprained left ankle, putting him at risk of missing his first game since Jan. 17. His possible 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 push, center Isaiah Hartenstein is off the injury report and will return Thursday after being out for over a month with a soleus strain. It’s questionable whether guard Cason Wallace is suffering from hip pain. The Thunder remain without several rotation players: Jalen Williams, Nikola Topic, Thomas Sorber, Alex Caruso and Ajay Mitchell are all out.
