The Minnesota Timberwolves set their injury report for game five against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Minnesota Timberwolves look to once again steal a game on the road as they battle the San Antonio Spurs in game five.
The Timberwolves evened the series at two by winning game four, thanks in part to Victor Wembanyama getting ejected in the second quarter after hitting Naz Reid with an elbow. Despite missing Wemby, the Spurs still led by eight in the fourth before Anthony Edwards took over to get the Timberwolves back into it. From there, the rest of the team brought it home to avoid falling behind three games to one.
The series is tied 2-2. Game five takes place at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio with a start time of 8 PM ET.
