The Minnesota Timberwolves are set to face the San Antonio Spurs, with the Wolves coming off a recent victory against the Los Angeles Lakers. They have won five out of their last six games, showcasing a strong defensive performance.

The Spurs, however, are struggling with injuries, missing key players and their head coach, Gregg Popovich, who is recovering from a stroke. Interim coach Mitch Johnson will lead the team as they aim to bounce back from previous encounters with the Timberwolves.
