Bryant Poised for Game 2 Return
7 May
Summary
- Bryant is showing positive progress ahead of the second playoff game.
- He may play limited minutes if cleared for Wednesday's contest.
- Bryant missed the series opener against Minnesota on Monday.
San Antonio Spurs player Bryant is reportedly making good progress on his foot injury, with updates indicating he is 'trending well' ahead of Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals. This suggests a strong possibility he will be available for Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
While head coach Mitch Johnson has indicated that Carter could be ready for Game 3 if Bryant is not cleared, the 20-year-old's potential participation in Game 2 might be restricted. Bryant averaged 3.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.6 blocks in 9.2 minutes per game during the Spurs' first-round series against Portland. However, he was absent from the court for the series opener on Monday night.
