Minnesota's Anthony Edwards is expected to play in Game 1 against the San Antonio Spurs, barring any setback pregame, per ESPN sources. Just 9 days removed from his left knee injury, and after the team had expected him to return midseries, Edwards has received medical clearance and will get final sign-off after his pregame routine.
Kevin Garnett on how he would guard Victor Wembanyama if he was in the league right now:
“So, first off Victor is probably the most complex player to guard because your pickup point has to be right at half court. So, I mean, I had to guard a guy Yao Ming. I’m not comparing Victor to Yao Ming, but Yao Ming was obviously 6, 7 fu*king inches taller than me and was just super long, right? So whenever he went to go shoot, it was when he went there stand and go, you know, to release and he had a loft on his shot. So it wasn’t like you gonna block it. So I would have to what we call do all work early. I would meet Wemby early. He likes to finish left-handed. He can finish both hands. I would give him the jump shot then just contest. And when he spin, I’m poking at the ball. You got to remember when he dribbles his waist is probably right at your face or while he has to be down to dribble. I would really distort his dribble pattern. I would make him spin because he’s not as durable and, you know, he has to be able to put all that 7’4 down and then gather it to spin…. And I would be talking hella sh*t and then on the other end, I’m trying to put it on his head.”

@CheyCab What are you hearing/seeing about TSA lines at MSP? From other online sources it seems that the situation at MSP isn't as bad as other airports. - Thanks
