The Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs meet Wednesday at Frost Bank Center for Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, with Minnesota holding a 1-0 series lead after a narrow 104-102 win in San Antonio.
The focus entering the matchup shifts heavily to availability, as both teams navigate a compact injury report that could influence rotation structure and late-game execution.
Minnesota lists three key rotation concerns. Donte DiVincenzo is ruled out with a right Achilles tendon repair, removing a perimeter shooter who has been part of the postseason rotation.
Anthony Edwards appears as questionable with a left knee bone bruise. He is averaging 18.4 points per game in the playoffs while logging 29.0 minutes, and his scoring efficiency has fluctuated across the first round and Game 1 of the series.
Ayo Dosunmu is also questionable due to a right calf issue. He has been one of Minnesota’s most efficient guards in limited postseason usage, shooting 60.9% from the field and 54.5% from three across five games played.
The Timberwolves’ depth guard rotation is further impacted by the absence of DiVincenzo, shifting more ball-handling responsibility toward Mike Conley and Bones Hyland in second-unit minutes.
San Antonio reports a single injury designation. Carter Bryant is questionable with a right foot sprain. The forward has provided floor spacing at 44.4% from three and secondary playmaking support off the bench.
The Spurs enter Game 2 without any confirmed absences among their primary rotation, maintaining continuity around De’Aaron Fox, Victor Wembanyama, and Stephon Castle. Wembanyama continues to anchor the interior with 5.6 blocks per game in the playoffs.
Game 1 reflected a narrow margin between the teams, with Minnesota closing out the final possessions to secure a two-point road win. The Spurs produced strong interior scoring and playmaking but were limited in late defensive stops.
Game 2 tipoff is scheduled for 9:30 PM ET, with Minnesota aiming to extend its series lead while managing multiple uncertain rotation statuses.
