Injury concerns clouded the Timberwolves' preparations for the game.

“The Spurs won 112-108 in Game 2 of the 2026 NBA playoffs.”
The Spurs' victory leverages their superior regular-season consistency to put pressure on a Minnesota team currently hampered by injuries to key personnel. With Anthony Edwards and Ayo Dosunmu dealing with ankle issues, the Timberwolves must find a way to generate offense without their primary catalysts to avoid falling too far behind in the series.
