Anthony Edwards' Updated Injury Status vs. Nuggets Revealed
The Denver Nuggets are facing the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, and star guard Anthony Edwards was initially listed as questionable with a left middle finger dislocation/sprain, but has since been upgraded to available.
Edwards of course suffered the finger injury on his incredible dunk over John Collins, which caused him to be listed as questionable for this huge game against the Nuggets. The Timberwolves and Nuggets enter this game with identical 47-21 records, which has them both a half-game back of the Oklahoma City Thunder for the first seed.
These three teams have been battling for that top spot in the Western Conference all season, and none of them have allowed any real separation to be created. The LA Clippers were also in this group for a while, but have fallen off recently, and sit five games back of Oklahoma City.
With Edwards able to go, this should be an exciting potential Western Conference Finals preview. While that will of course depend on how the bracket plays out, it seems reasonable to predict that both Denver and Minnesota will be very tough to knock out early in the playoffs.
Getting the first seed is a big deal, especially for a team like the Nuggets who have such a dominant home court advantage. That makes this game even more important, and it should be a fun one between two of the best in the West.
