Gordon (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves.

Gordon missed Denver's last two regular-season games due to right hamstring injury management, but he's good to go for the start of the playoffs. The veteran forward appeared in four regular-season outings in April, during which he averaged 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 30.5 minutes per tilt.

Watson (hamstring) won't play in Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Watson hasn't played since he suffered the right hamstring strain back on April 1, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Game 2 on Monday.

Braun (ankle/hip) is available for Game 1 on Saturday against Minnesota.

Braun is set to return from a two-game absence due to ankle and hip injuries Saturday. The fourth-year swingman averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.7 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest across 44 regular-season games.

Murray (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Timberwolves.

Murray missed Denver's final two regular-season games due to a right shoulder impingement, though he's set to return for the start of the playoffs. The star point guard reached the 20-point threshold in nine of his last 10 regular-season games, averaging 27.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.3 rebounds across 37.9 minutes per contest during that span.

Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's Game 1 matchup with Minnesota.

Jones missed the Timberwolves' final six regular-season games due to the hamstring injury, but there's a chance he'll be cleared for Saturday's game. If he does play, he'll likely have some strict minutes restrictions in his first game back.

Diabate (hip) is available for Friday's Play-In Tournament game versus the Magic.

Diabate should continue to start Friday, and with him active, there will be fewer minutes available for Ryan Kalkbrenner and Xavier Tillman. In Tuesday's Play-In Tournament win over Miami, Diabate finished with eight points, 14 rebounds, one assist and one block over 36 minutes.

Hyland (hip) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets.

Hyland missed Minnesota's last two regular-season games due to a right hip issue, but he's good to go for the start of the playoffs. The 25-year-old guard averaged 14.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 24.4 minutes per contest over five regular-season appearances in April. If Anthony Edwards (knee) is downgraded from questionable to out, Hyland could see a bump in playing time Saturday.

Dosunmu (calf) is off the injury report for Game 1 on Saturday versus Denver.

Dosunmu sat out Minnesota's regular-season finale, but he's good to go for the beginning of the postseason Saturday. The swingman averaged 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 28.9 minutes per contest over 24 games for the Timberwolves in 2025-26.

Reid (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets.

Reid missed the Timberwolves' final two regular-season games due to right shoulder injury maintenance, though he's set to return for the start of the playoffs. Over five regular-season appearances (one start) in April, the big man averaged 13.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 steals in 26.4 minutes per outing.

Anderson (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets.

Anderson sat out the Timberwolves' final regular-season game for right knee injury maintenance, but he'll get back out there Saturday. In 19 games with Minnesota this season, Anderson averaged 4.6 points, 3.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds.
