Considered day-to-day
Dosunmu's calf injury prevented him from playing in the Timberwolves' Game 6 victory against the Nuggets on Thursday. Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs kicks off Monday, and Dosunmu could join Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (knee) on the sidelines for that contest. If Dosunmu is not cleared to play, then Terrence Shannon, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark would be in line for expanded roles alongside Mike Conley and Jaden McDaniels.

Still considered week-to-week
Edwards was diagnosed with a bone bruise and hyperextension in his left knee during the Timberwolves' Game 4 victory over the Nuggets on April 25. There's a chance that the superstar guard could return for the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs, though that is unlikely to happen until later in the series. Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) is out for the rest of the playoffs and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) did not play in Game 6 on Thursday, so the Timberwolves will need to turn to the likes of Jaden McDaniels, Terrence Shannon, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark to pick up the load against San Antonio.

Teases triple-double in victory
Gobert was just two assists short of what would have been an unexpected triple-double, helping Minnesota close out the series against Denver. Across six games during the first round, Gobert averaged 7.7 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 combined steals and blocks. While his numbers weren't jaw-dropping, Gobert's impact was undeniable, particularly on the defensive end, where he was able to at least somewhat contain Nikola Jokic.
