Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Quiet in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Gobert logged five points (1-4 FG, 3-9 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 133-95 loss to San Antonio in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Gobert didn't have much of an impact, although he was certainly not alone as the Timberwolves took a hard loss. Although Gobert's defensive contributions have been a real positive, the fact that he has scored more than seven points only once in his past five games can't be overlooked. The series will now shift to Minnesota, where Gobert will look to get things back on track.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Ineffective in Game 2 loss
Rotowire
Edwards ended with 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 133-95 loss to San Antonio in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Edwards, despite playing in his second straight game, appeared limited on both ends of the floor. While he has technically been cleared to compete, one has to wonder whether he would be out there if this were the regular season. In his two appearances against the Spurs, Edwards has averaged 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers. With the series now locked at 1-1, both teams will be looking to gain the upper hand in Game 3, which is slated for Friday in Minnesota.
Randle produced 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 133-95 loss to the Spurs in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Randle had a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double in the 104-102 win over the Spurs to claim Game 1. However, it was a different story in Game 2, with the Spurs cruising to an easy win to tie the series up at one game each. With Anthony Edwards (knee) still working his way back to form after missing time, Randle may be needed to stay more involved offensively if the Timberwolves hope to keep the series competitive. Both clubs will head to Minnesota for Game 3 on Friday night.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Won't return to Game 2
Rotowire
Dosunmu (heel) won't return to Wednesday's Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus the Spurs, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Dosunmu was cleared to return for this contest after missing the last two games because of a calf injury. However, he exited Wednesday night with a right heel issue. The 26-year-old finished without a point (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), adding one steal across 10 minutes. The Spurs and Timberwolves will meet again for Game 3 on Friday night, although it's possible Dosunmu may not be cleared to suit up. If that's the case, Bones Hyland, Mike Conley and Terrence Shannon should see more action.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: No minutes restriction Wednesday
Rotowire

Dosunmu will return after a two-game stint on the shelf. Although Anthony Edwards (knee) has also been cleared to suit up, Dosunmu should still get all the minutes he can handle. As a result, Terrence Shannon, Mike Conley and Bones Hyland are expected to spend more time on the bench.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Warming up ahead of Game 2
Rotowire
Edwards (knee) was spotted warming up ahead of Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus San Antonio, Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Edwards remains listed as questionable on the league's official injury report, although the latest update is an encouraging sign regarding his availability for Game 2. The 24-year-old surprisingly returned for Monday's opener, finishing with 18 points, three rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes. Assuming Edwards is cleared to suit up, he might see more minutes, and it's possible he plays better now that he had a game to shake off the residual rust caused by the extended absence.
Dosunmu (calf) is available for Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Wednesday.
Dosunmu is set to return following a two-game absence. As of now, it's unclear if he will face any restrictions for this game. With this news, Terrence Shannon may see a reduced role. However, Anthony Edwards (knee) remains questionable after he surprisingly returned to action in a reserve role during Game 1.
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Questionable for Game 2
Rotowire
Edwards (knee) is questionable for Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Wednesday.
Edwards played limited minutes off the bench in Monday's Game 1 win following a two-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise and hyperextension, posting 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes. If he's cleared to play ahead of Game 2, the superstar guard will likely remain on a minutes restriction.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Iffy for Game 2
Rotowire
Dosunmu (calf) is questionable for Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Wednesday.
Dosunmu has a chance to end a two-game absence with right calf soreness Wednesday. Terrence Shannon, who has logged 35 minutes in back-to-back contests for the Timberwolves, would likely be pushed into a lesser role if Dosunmu is available for Game 2.
