Timberwolves Lose Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo to Leg Injuries in Game 4 Against Nuggets
Both Minnesota starters were ruled out after leg injuries, and ESPN reported Donte DiVincenzo may have torn his right Achilles tendon.
- On Saturday, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets 112-96 to take a 3-1 series lead, though the victory was overshadowed by first-half injuries to starters Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Edwards.
- Starting guard DiVincenzo left the contest 79 seconds into the game after suffering a non-contact injury to his lower right leg, which ESPN reported as an apparent torn Achilles tendon.
- During the second quarter, All-Star Edwards hyperextended his left knee while contesting a shot by Denver's Cam Johnson and was helped to the locker room, unable to return.
- Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch called DiVincenzo "the heart and soul of so many things that we do," while Ayo Dosunmu and Mike Conley replaced the injured starters in the second half.
- Minnesota will attempt to close out the series in Denver on Monday for Game 5, though the availability of both DiVincenzo and Edwards for the matchup remains uncertain.
