Timberwolves' Playoff Hopes Dashed by Healthy Nuggets in First Round

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA playoffs, but the series revealed that Anthony Edwards is the team's superstar and future. Nickeil Alexander-Walker emerged as a reliable role player, while Mike Conley provided veteran leadership. Karl-Anthony Towns had an average series, but could benefit from becoming the clear number two on the team. Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson were solid, but Taurean Prince and Jaylen Nowell struggled. The Timberwolves have a new era centered around Edwards.
