Star guard Anthony Edwards exited the game with a left knee injury, while shooting guard Donte DiVincenzo’s season is over after suffering a torn right Achilles, per ESPN. Edwards was helped to the locker room after an apparent left knee injury with 2:43 left in the second quarter. He was injured landing after a contested layup, had to be helped to the locker room, and was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game.

“Losing those two guys is really tough, tough emotionally for our guys,” head coach Chris Finch told reporters, per The Associated Press. Dr. Evan Jeffries, who identifies himself as a Doctor of Physical Therapy and NBA & NFL Injury Insider, wrote of the injury on X/Twitter that the “worst case scenario” for Edwards is an ACL tear, while the “best case scenario” is a “bone bruise/joint capsule injury.

” Donte DiVincenzo also suffered a torn Achilles during the win that was fueled by Ayo Dosunmu’s 43 points, including a perfect 5-of-5 from beyond the arc. “I feel completely devastated for Donte,” Finch said. DiVincenzo appeared to injure his lower right leg in the game’s opening minutes when he slipped to the court as he raced to chase a ball.
